Anyone knows where I can find the content listing of these two books:

 

Big Book of Fun Comics (1935)

 

and

 

New Book of Comics (1937) [For example, is this a set of reprinted material like the New Book of Comics # 2 from 1938 is?; Same, does the Big Book of Fun Comics run reprints from other DC books?]

 

Thanks for the tips / help / leads! :)

You may have already seen this, but for Big Book of Fun Comics (1935) GCD doesn't have a detailed indexing, but they do say:

 

"52 pages including covers, no price shown. Consists of reprints from New Fun The Big Comic Magazine (DC, 1935 series) #1-4 (or possibly through #6)."

Big Book of Fun Comics (1935)

 

The Guide says reprint of New Fun 1-5, while the Taschen book says reprint of New Fun 1-4.

 

A very rare book, it's my pre-hero grail.

 

 

Please check out Howard Keltner's Index gem....
