The colors on that copy are quite intense!

[esquirecomics]

Mark, that is a very nice copy of a very rare book. Where did you get it? Is it unrestored?

 

I am in the midst of negotiating a purchase of most of the More Funs between 9 - 36 (including three Church copies). Those issues I don't buy outright I will be selling for the owner. As far as I can tell, it is unrestored.

Just upgraded my 1933 Buck Rogers Kellogg's Premium. I know it doesn't look like much of an upgrade, but you should see the undercopy.

That's a fun book!

It's amazing how relatively common these books are (at least in low grade). You'd think they'd be somewhat rare given their age, but there's almost always one for sale on ebay. They must have printed millions of them. That's a lot of Corn Flakes.

 

(Edit: BTW, I did win that SS 20. It's fugly to be sure, but it's mine. )

Very cool set of books F&K. Having a diverse collection makes the hobby even more fun.

November 1936. Some fantastic G-Men FBI stories.

Here you go Mark - some real Plats i picked up here and there last year

 

This Outcault comic book published by Cupples & Leon came out in 1906 reprinting a decent selection from the strips short-lived run thru most of 1905 - a cross blend between the grittiness of Yellow Kid and the more homogenized Buster Brown, which had gone national a few years before.

 

Outcault's Pore Lil'l Mose was published in 1901, not so much a sequential comic strip as RFO's latter stuff

 

[BLBcomics-migration]

 

Both from 1906.

 

Antics published by Frederick Stokes

 

BB and His Dog Tige & Their Jolly Times was the first BB comic book from Cupples & Leon same year. This is the first print 68 page edition.

Here is a nice 1905 Stokes published The Tricks of the Katzenjammer Kids

 

[BLBcomics-migration]

and life is not complete in the eyes of most comic book collectors unless their get their daily Segar - so check out Beerbohm's version of "Have A Cigar...." with delectable Segar:

 

 

From Sonnett Publishing 1931, this is the first Popeye book

 

 

Here is a 1932 Popeye Segar from McLaughlin - has comic strips to paint in your self, with half the book pre-printed in color on the left, you fill in a B&W version on the right

 

 

and here we have the back cover to Segar's Popeye and the Gold Mine Thieves 1935 published by David McKay, - this is one of the very last 10x10 format comic books

Great books as usual Bob!

This is how we all like to buy a pile of old funny books, stack em up !!

I actually have the dustjacket for this 1926 book, which makes it more valuable, but the underlying cover is far, far more beautiful in its colorful depiction. The vibrancy on these colors after more than 80 years is simply amazing!!!!
