New Funnies question

[Fauby]

Hi, All,

 

I really like the early New Funnies covers and plan to pick some up soon. I know Woody's first appearance was in The Funnies 64. I also know he appeared in New Funnies 68. Does anyone know if he was in the issues in between?

For issues 66 and 67, he appeared in the Oswald strips as with his first appearance. I don't know about issue 65, which BTW has a supremely ugly cover but is much more rare than 66 on up. Here's the interior to 64 with old school Woody.

Thanks for the info and scan. I like the New Funnies covers with the characters' faces off to the left of the cover. Great stuff!

I just sold a bound copy of 66-77recently and there are a few out there - not as rare as you'd think. These go all the way up to the 200's. Its a cheap way to get a good run of otherwise tough to find in reasonalbe grade books. If you run across an 89 with the US Bond cover, let me know I am trying to get all 4 of these bond covers from July 1945. I have the Looney Tunes and I need the NF 89, Walt Disney CS 46 and Popular 101.

Actually, I just saw a copy of New Funnies 89 available. I think it was on James Payette's site. I'll check again today. I don't remember the condition, though.

The Mr. TweeDeedle & Billy & Bonny Bee (I think thats the name its been awhile) strips In the earliest issues are BEAUTIFUL! Worth it for those alone!
