The GA "Short Bus" Thread Post your unpopular books! 2 2

Cinderella Love. Now, we're talking Short Bus. Paid too much for it I know but I sorta like the cover (even in a cheesy way). The back cover is surprisingly ad-free and features a pin-up page.

 

The third story with the cover blurb of "Love is always sweeter on The Long Way Home" takes place in France and is a slight mix of romance and spy action. I'm attaching a page below. She tries ... mildly to defend herself.

 

N.B.: Jack , this book is one of the 3 undocumented ones

 

 

Great book Scrooge, thanks for sharing the back cover. I'll have to check it out in the future.

OK, one Short Bus book from the big buy. (Is it really Short Bus material?)

 

An unusual reprint of Large Feature Comic 11 from the Chicago Tribune in 1982. It seems to be a cover to cover reprint with a semi-glossy cardstock cover, black and white interiors. I suspect that it's the same size as the original.

 

 

How could I resist Tracy squaring off against a villain named The Mad Doc Hump? HAW!

Best of all (for me) is this great chemistry page with an accurate recipe for nitroglycerine.

I love Tracy

I love Tracy

 

Y'know, I even spelled it with a 1 to avoid the spoony business. CGC is too smart for that obvious mask!

 

Do you have this reprint? (More likely you have the original, I bet.)

OK, D:ck Tracy is not a short bus comic. This is. And a tough Short bus book to beat. BTW it's for sale now on ebay as part of a short bus lot.

Whoa -- that Bus is so Short it looks like a minivan. Glad to see so much support here for my Mr Tracy reprint.

 

I like the Short-Busness of Nuttylife. New one on me.

 

What does this mean?

 

"Nice lot of covers with some interior stories. Most are incomplete."

 

Are they mostly covers only, just a few with pages?

 

Thanks,

Jack

thanks Jack, but for a run that has this kind of stuff, i figured the jeep needed to be on the short bus.

. Maybe if the Liberty Lads in the jeep took off their shirts like Duke O'Dowd, The Human Meteor, you'd think more highly of #25.

 

What's The Human Meteor's shtick? Do the Liberty Lads really have a flying jeep, or is that artistic license?

Short bus is full up after this stop.

 

Wotalife and Superbrat are #1 issues.

 

[Scrooge]

 

It's here: Buster Bunny # 13 And off to the Short Bus it goes. Buster is really a brat but in the end he does get taken to the shed by his dad for a good spanking!

 

(And for those GCD Editors Elite, the indicia does state March 1952)

Is that an Archie 1 swipe!?!

 

Thanks. I wish my #15 weren't in storage already or I'd index it while I'm at it.

The Short Bus collection got a MAJOR boost at last weekend's VCC, thanks to a seller who shall remain anonymous but she has two colors in her board name.

 

They're not in my hands yet, but here's a preview.

 

Can you imagine a more action-packed cover than Picture Progress Vol 1 #5?

A photographer! A printing press! Floating on ominous red and green clouds against a static yellow sky!

 

 

Harvey Hits 18 featuring Buzzy the Crow, star of TV and movies!

Eh? Has anyone here ever seen a Buzzy the Crow movie? I have only the vaguest memory of seeing him in a few Harvey cartoons on TV, classic black stereotype crow with a voice imitating Eddie Anderson (Benny's Rochester).

 

 

More to come, if you can stand the excitement.

Have you ever noticed that MY collection, seems to be morphing into YOUR collection?

 

Be prepared to own some GGA next year, when I decide to change from that;)

[selegue]

Yes, I have.

Unfortunately too late!

 

But after I'm done hawking these primo books on the Short Bus thread, people will be clamoring for them. Quick flips!

I'm salivating in anticipation.

I like Harvey's quite a bit Jack, so if you have some more...post 'em!

I'll have to ask my pusher favorite VCC seller if I have any more Harveys.

Lots of unusual Pines like these

 

 

with a bonus peek at the carpet in Ms Blu's comics room!

 

Again not Harvey, but I really like this Sagendorf Popeye cover.

 

 

Just look at the gooofy expression on that giraffe!

 

And while I'm counting unhatched chickens, check out what I won last night for only $2.01. A beat but complete 1940 comic book -- the seller touted the full page ad for the upcoming Bill Everett Hydroman feature in Heroic Comics. Is that an Abbie 'n' Slats cover?

 

 

And another double-digit Four Color issue! Yeah, that one cost well over $2, but I like it.

 

 

The Short Bus is getting crowded!
