Fantastic Fears!

One of my favorite series of Precodes. Title shortened to simply Fantastic for the last two issues due to the incoming heat of the Code.

Favorite issues are:

5 (Ditkos early story "Stretchy Things")

6 (awesome cover and papercutter story).

For a while I have thought that fantastic fears 5 and voodoo 8 would make great bookends. Great collection of books.

It's easy to find books by Barks' but they have been well-read. Here are the first 16 stories but I am missing a few covers.

 

Very cool group! I have a copy of #35 (2nd row on the left with Huey, Dewey & Louie in the fridge) & I just love the cover. The refrigerator brand is "Phreezo" & for whatever reason that just cracks me up every time I see it. The happy looks on the nephews' faces & typical angry Donald are great too.

I cringe at the idea of children sleeping in a frig but I don't blame Barks. He didn't do any of the covers until much later I think.

Love those Cold War comics BB, Frank participated in WWII but not sure whether he made it into the spy world of the fifties.

I think Frank was on the wrong side for a while but he saw the light and helped the Allies when they needed it.
