Nice looking books! I was trying to figure out the earliest DC funny animal comic, I assume its funny Stuff#1? Did they have any funny animal back ups in older anthologies?

So what was with the upside down Flag in the title?

time for a few more posts...

 

A personal grail of mine, the 1st app. of Dodo & the Frog. Really difficult issue to find. This one is pretty hurt, but the only other copy I know of for sale is a "VG" on milehighs site, with logo tracing on the cover, which I hate. So until a nicer one comes along, this will have to do. I posted the interior pages where they 1st appear in the "1st app. panels thread"

Their second app. & 1st cover, and a BEAUTIFUL copy. I couldn't be happier with this one...

here is a couple more for now...

I LOVE Holiday covers, and Thanksgiving images are much less common then Christmas & halloween.

I LOVE this cover to death, and it was a tough one to track down. Its weird, certain issues you see all the time, like #26 posted earlier in the thread, but some like this just never come up for sale. Putting this un together is a lot trickier then I would have thought. I guess thats why so many were left on Ian's list in the last 75 he needed.

The cover reminds me of "The Ugly Chickens" by Howard Waldrop. Ever read it?

I'll bet I could be even happier with it than you could.

Waldrop!!! One of my favorite writers. Probably the best writer you've never heard of. The government should pay him a salary just to write stories. For those of you who haven't read his work, I recommend you run out NOW and read some Waldrop.

 

And as a plug, a story of mine highly influenced by Waldrop's work.

In fact, relevant story is linked to that site.

Well, this title was an obsession waiting to happen. I always said if I happened across the 1954 issue (The true hardest, not the last issue as more common belief holds), I'd go for the run. Well I did, and I LOVE it! It doesn't hurt that it uses the "DC green" they used on a lot of their 50's books which I really like. Luckily its a really short run!

There is richness to that green that gives me goosebumps -- that's a terrific book!

 

Good luck getting the rest.

Peter Panda is really a difficult run to complete, the more I research it the more #15 came up as being one to the hardest issues to find. A lowgrade came up on ebay and I was able to win it for $2.24. So here, for less then the price of a new comic, is one of the most difficult mid 50's DC to find.

 

 

So now it seems to me #4, 5, 6, 9 & 15 are the most difficult. This issue was also one of the few covers missing on Mike's DC cover archive, so I am going to email him this one.

not to mention if they managed to eat those monsters they would be in sugar comas for 5 years a piece!
