Lamont Larson and Superman #1...

[nearmint]

It was mentioned on the boards recently that the Larson copy of Supes #1 is missing its back cover. I couldn't help but imagine Lamont cutting along that dotted line on the right edge of the back cover and tacking the Superman pin-up onto his bedroom wall.

 

I still trade emails with Lamont's daughter Luann, so I asked her to ask her dad if he remembered cutting the back cover off. He answered that he highly doubts he would've done that, as his mother would never have allowed him to pin anything on the wall. Also, he only remembers cutting out coupons for airplane gliders from any of his comics.

 

So, it appears that Lamont did not cut the back cover off of the Superman #1.

 

I wonder who did?

On the original Larson list, the Superman 1 has a note that the back cover is "nearly cut off".

 

I just picked up the Larson WDC&S 8, and was surprised to learn it was only 1 of 2 books in the collection from that particular title...and the other book (WDC&S 10) is listed as having its back cover "neatly cut out".

 

STEVE Got Larson?

I wonder what's on the back cover of WDCS #10?

[action1kid]

Interesting.But man, that was a long time ago.How sure can he be?

Is he positive? Probably? Maybe? I means whos going to remember that?

[nearmint]

No, he isn't positive. But, believe me, his memory is excellent, and he has no memory of cutting anything out of comics unless it was to send away for something.

O.k....Gotcha !

[nearmint]

Interesting. Another pin-up.

Superman and Minnie Mouse - I always suspected those two!

 

STEVE Got Larson?

[nearmint]

I am curious what grade the WDCS 8 is in? The book below is the only Disney Larson I have seen to date. CGC gave it a 5.5.

It's fairly nice (CGC 7.0, but it presents MUCH better).

 

 

BTW, I like your book, tb!

Okay, she's a cow, right? But she's Goofy's girlfriend, and he's a dog, right?

That's just wrong.

Wow. Fantastic book. That's my favorite cover of the early WDCS issues. Her face just looks so insanely happy as she waters those flowers, it never fails to make me laugh.

 

It also helps that your copy looks like the inks dried twenty minutes ago!
