Golden Age group shot

My copy of NY Fair '40 has blank covers; dunno about the rest. My World's Finest 10 has a contents page in front and a 1 pager in back, all in blue for whatever reason.

 

I haven't had the Fair '39 or '40 out in a while, but I believe they are both blank on the inside covers. World's Finest were blank on the inside covers until about #8 or #9. My #11 has a Table of Contents on the inside FC and a house ad for the Big 8 of DC comics on the inside BC (Action, Detective, More Fun, Sensation, All American, Star Spangled, Adventure, and Flash).

 

Also, I hate to disagree with MrBedrock, but my Big All Americans have paper covers, not cardboard. They also have all blue printing on the inside covers.

My bad. I haven't had one in some time but I could have sworn that it had thick covers.

Were cardboard covers peculiar to the World's Fair/World's Finest run, or were they fairly common back in the day?

 

Cardboard covers were common for pre-1933 comics (Platinum Age), but were almost completely replaced by paper or slick covers for GA books.

 

Besides the World's Fair/Finest comics, the only other cardboard GA covers I'm aware of were on Detective Dan (1933), Knock, Knock (1936) and I believe Picture Stories from the Bible Complete Old Testament Editions (DC/EC).

A few comics, in no particular order, that Cera picked out. She likes the unslabbed books.

They feel better on her claws...
