Hepcat Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Getting closer and closer to the complete Silver run - Here's a cheap # 35 - Silver is boss cool! I have only this one though and it's not among the better covers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Back in 2002-2003 Pretty much all I collected was Dell. I think they deserve more love. Back in 1959, the first and only two comics I can remember buying were Dells. Here are scans of my present day copies: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonwad Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Silver is boss cool! I have only this one though and it's not among the better covers: That's a great looking copy of the first issue (even if it is one of those dirty, rotten Four Color's). Here's issue #3 (the first non-Four Color issue). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's issue #3 (the first non-Four Color issue). Any chance the cub on the cover to # 13 - grew up to be the bear on # 27. He's just miffed he had to be saved early in life and is seeking revenge - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm surprised no one has posted any of the cool Photo Cover Dells that Big John Buscema illustrated.....some real decent books. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) I looked through GCD and saw that most of Buscema's Dell work was in some high # Four Colors and the Roy Rogers series (neither of which I have in my collection). I even see that Gaylord Du Bois wrote a bunch of the stories. Definitely something I'll be checking out and I'll post some when I get them (assuming not already posted).

Hepcat Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm surprised no one has posted any of the cool Photo Cover Dells.... As a general rule I really dislike photo covers. One of the reasons is that they appeal to the movie/TV groupies who otherwise have no interest in comics. Me though I actually like comic art.

jmg3637 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I actually like the photo covers. Especially the T V ones. They really evoke childhood memories. My favorite are painted covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I don't think anyone has posted a Spike and Tyke yet. Here's a well loved issue #7 from late 1956. I paged through this and noted that they had put in a story featuring coonskin caps so I guess that craze had started already. After this I'll have to start digging in my Disney boxes to see what kind of obscure non Four Color Dells I might dig up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
