tth2 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I thought this thread was for us to list what would be in our dream auction. Mine would be an auction featuring the finally found Church Duck books. Foley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telerites Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 The Bob Powell art in this book is excellent, imo as most of his art was. Too bad the book gets such a bad rap. IngelsFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pemart1966 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Whether it's a dream auction or not, there's a lot of feedback that's disturbing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, given that many buyers are reluctant to leave negative or neutral fb no matter how stinky the transaction was, this guy's fb is a real red flag.

Even with all the negs (6 negs in the last month, I think from unique buyers), the seller has 83 followers. I don't know if that is a lot or not but it seems like it is to me given the feedback. I still like Major Inapak though but no, I won't be bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen plenty of other Four Colors from the Church collection. Why would Edgar have separated out the Duck books from the other stacks of comics in the first place? Anyways, the story that they weren't there when Chuck bought the collection, is why an auction of them, after they'd finally been found, would be my dream auction.

I've always thought the same thing. It seems completely possible that Chuck is mistaken in his decades later retelling of the story. Memory isn't that reliable for anyone.

Four Colors survived, including some funny animal ones. I picked this one up recently. It is odd, come to think of it, that not a single Duck book (so far as I know) was among these Four Colors.

Randall Dowling Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I doubt it will ever happen but an auction of David Anderson’s collection but would be pretty stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
