Here's an interesting DC promo comic from 1945 0

[gadzukes]

I just found this in a stack of GA coverless.  It's actually a complete 8 page DC promo comic. (newsprint cover).

It say on the cover it's been reprinted from Comics Cavalcade 9

Never seen it before.  Kind of interesting.

That IS interesting - never seen it before either.  The one pictured in GCD does not have any "Supplement" information at the top.  It just reads "Comic Cavalcade".

I was bidding against you on this one!  I had never seen it before either, but it's in the Price Guide under the promo section (there are a few different Comic Cavalcade giveaways listed there).

I was really only looking at the All-American 19 in that auction.  I thought there was some other nice pieces but I didn't even know what this one was.  

It's complete and in good shape.  I wonder if I should slab it?

I find it weird that it was part of Comics Cavalcade?

I found this one from that series. Un-listed in guide. Sent pics to Bob a couple of times but he never included it.  

 Nazi content about converting one to democracy. Interesting pencil notation at bottom of last page.

The Southern Conference for Human Welfare ( SCHW) (1938-1948) was an organization that sought to promote New Deal -type reforms to the South in terms of social justice, civil rights, and electoral reform. It folded due to funding problems and allegations of Communist sympathies; its successor was the former sub-group the Education Fund.

Thanks. Too bad. Sounds like it is still needed even now. This book is unfortunately, still relevant today.

I love penciled info like that on comics.  Thanks for sharing.  Was this reprinted from the inside of a DC comic (like mine was)?

The bottom of the last page on mine has an interesting note too (that's not in the original Comics Cavalcade 9 version)

"Additional Copies $1.00 per HUNDRED from your local CO-OP...."

Wow, that's only 1c each!  There must have been a bazillion copies of this at one time.  I wonder how many are left.

I pulled out my Cavalcade #9. Both apparently originated there. Obviously, no indication that they could be ordered as reprints. Offered by DC later as a public service thing. There are also a couple reprints in the giveaway section of Overstreet. Probably other issues of Cavalcade.

Yeah, odd there are so very few known. Probably thrown away quickly.

I know of no other copies of the one I have. I’m sure there are a few still out there. Probably a box full waiting to be discovered…

I picked up a copy of the Consumer Cooperatives in the second batch of ashcans from Sol Harrison.  I've seen 2 others over the years.

Harley Yee had a stack of them literally about 7 copies in high grade about 10 years ago 

[Robot Man]

Has anybody seen another copy of “Ride in the Sky”?

As far as I know, there are seven different ones of these Comic Calvacade books.
