Wow! A 16-page comic section! I wonder whether it was stapled at the spine like a real comic mag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwination Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Loose pages, but sometimes you'll find some glue at the spine, too. That one must have been in some sort of binder, a classic cover I'm curious whether that awesome mask came inserted in a paper, too, or how it was distributed, neat-o!

The content of these comics were all reprints of the syndicated Spirit stories that were the first eight pages of each Sunday insert section. https://www.comics.org/series/345/covers/ They included some of the finest stories produced in the GA. Luckily, for us they are available in reprints. Robot Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwination Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 There's nothing like the original sections as far as I'm concerned. Plus Lady Luck and Mr. Mystic, woo! Robot Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I have very few of these. Just don’t run into them much out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distributed by news dealers I assume. Too big for a paper insert and made of light chip board. Only seen a couple others and the only one I ever had the opportunity to buy.

Robot Man Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Hit up the yearly LA Paperback show today. Always look forward to it. Can’t think of any other show quite like it. Good to see boardies @Hap Hazard, @Dreamtoreal1 and another member I can’t remember. I didn’t see @Surfing Alien but I have never met him. He was probably as “junk drunk”as I was Quite a room full.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted March 17 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 17 A few Digests. I like these generally better than PBs. Easier to pick out on a table but less of them to choose from. A cool dope book I had never seen. “Dream Club” and another LB Cole cover I didn’t have. pmpknface, Kevin.J, manetteska and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 All in all, a very fun way to spend a day! And, unlike comics, nothing that broke the bank! Now, if you will excuse me, I have some old paper to sniff! jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwination Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Oh, some killer digests there I especially like Country Girl. The George Gross lover boy with the s*** eating grin and hay straw sticking out of his mouth is hilarious. I hadn't seen the Dream Club before. There's a lot going on (art on every inch of the cover), but it's way cool. And that Film Fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
