That's a fine white cover. Imagine the book shiny new ...

Cute Giraffe as well, I dare say "CGC" (Classic Giraffe Cover).

I'm really looking forward to the January 1938 cover by him. The previous year/new year theme is really cool.

 

I seem to remember there was at least one collector who had several original art pieces by D*ck  Ryan that turned up at a show many years ago but I don't remember who that was. The same guy had some killer Everett pieces too. 

 

I'm starting to want to try buying at least a few Centaurs after this thread if they show up.

Hhmm, just noticed you can't spell d*ck out here even though it's a name?

So we can only have a D*ck Tracy thread? Weird.

Well, go out and buy a lottery ticket as it must be your lucky day then. 

I believe that Jon Berk has a substantial number of Centaurs in his collection, and you would be more than welcome to bid on them once they are open for bidding in less than 2 short months from now.

Tough books, no doubt.

Those books for the most part are January 1939 releases. The Star comic was out on January 4th and the Funny Pictures was out January 18th. The Action was out January 3rd, Detective January 17th and Adventure January 24th.

Thats a fantastic photo. Some cool pulps too.
