selegue Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 LTMM 5 -- a very early version, before Mary Jane took top billing. (Maybe this is the only Armstrong page?) Jack Sorry to take so long to get back to you Jack. That Looney #5 is really nice. The artwork is very VERY COOL !!! I am hoping that artist did alot of the issues....cuz his work looks really good. Here is MJ and S from #85 (1948) and its easy to tell its not the same artist. Looking at Jerry B's Who's Who and trying to put a time line together Maybe #5 is Chase Craig, who drew the earliest stories including LTMM #1. If not, it's Armstrong.

selegue Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 .... Wow.....that IS alot of people. Do you own alot of Looney books? Many people would say that's all I own :insane: . I only have 6 all between 85 and 117 Not a lot -- about 30-35 between 5 (the crown jewel) and 239, plus one modern one that I got for free somewhere. I like 'em though and will end up with more. Great stuff for small money, as long as you're not looking for high grade. Definitely the earlier the better (for content). Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senormac Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Great cover. What DC checkered comics do you guys recommend? I'm not 100 % sure, but I think the checker tops only came out in one year...1966, and it was on ALL the DC titles......so take your pick. May as well stick with the books you like to read most, although, I suppose you could have a "checker top" collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garthgantu Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 duck drek Don't listen to 'im, Greggy - those are beeyootiful Barks oils! Are those from the old Russ Cochran original art catalogs?
