I'll get some snaps, but nothing looked familiar. it *may* bee original content, but I don't have enough experience with prewar and WWII stuff to determine, Pix coming shortly.

catrick339 Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 All right, pix should be downloading shortly, and I DID find one humor strip with the character kicking Hitler's backside, so definitely WWII vintage. I'll post them when they make their way through the Cloud. Good excuse to hold off on that last comic post, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OdinsSecrets Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Was curious about the book too, hard to find much info on it but what I did see leads me to think it was original. https://ukcomics.fandom.com/wiki/Murdock_Stimpson https://www.lambiek.net/artists/b/banger_edgar_h.htm https://ukcomics.fandom.com/wiki/Gerald_Swan_(1902-1980) Edited March 15, 2020 by OdinsSecrets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catrick339 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) And it may be a while before I see the other pix, so let's nail the lid down on this thread. ONE Jumbo Comics 117 Flat and tight, decent gloss, bone white pages, just a bit of general wear, and an odd stripe vertical parallel to the RH edge. It appears to be a tiny ridge in the paper. It may be something odd from production. Doesn't break color, may not be visible in the scan. NCB dogear upper RH FC. Attractive copy for $65 SOLD!

catrick339 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 So there you have it, my friends! New Funnies 9 is a true Golden Age British comic, original work from WWII, and I've posted the last book for the thread. I'll start sending out invoices tomorrow midday, so figure a soft close around Noon, hard close after the last invoice has gone out,. Between Bedrock and this thread I haven't missed Fantasticon the least bit! Thanks to all, it's been a fun couple of days. shiverbones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catrick339 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Howdy all, the last invoice just went out, so it's time to doff my hat and bow deeply to the crowd! My thanks to the buyers, the kibitzers, the folks that appreciated this book or that, and the lurkers, it was an all around swell time, and a pretty decent substitute for Fantasticon Toledo. Maybe we can do the whole thing again in a couple weeks! THIS THREAD IS CLOSED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
