1947 issue #3. All interior pages are story pages, so it looks like you got your dime's worth. Actually it was an interesting read. Mostly about a circus and all the behind the scenes shenanigans, scams, pickpocketing and even murder. You know, all the good wholesome stuff a circus is about. lol

Ok, now I have to post my one and only Sparkle, but it's an early one.

I like Nancy and Sluggo. Even now the cover gags are still funny.

 

You're just trying to get on her auntie's good side.

a western series that i dont think i`ve ever been asked for - or heard of anyone collecting -- great covers though

 

I agree, esp. some of the War Tom Mix books have cool covers.

 

I have one issue as part of my set. IIRC, Tom Mix had been dead a few years before he was first featured in comics -

The Short Bus hardly stops here any more.

 

 

ZZZZzzzzzz

 

Here's an interesting find.

(To me, anyway.)

 

Three Mouseketeers 3 (August 1956) -- itself not all that common -- with lots of Sheldon Meyer artwork.

Look who shows up in one of the Three Mouseketeers stories!

It's Cecil "Spike" Wilson, who had just started appearing in his own book with Sugar Plumm a few months earlier. A little older, speaking much better English, and a budding PETA member, but unmistakably Spike!

Just glancing at the first panel I thought you meant Bing had made a cameo

anybody wishing to take part in an unscientific psychological test should describe what they think is happening on that Puppetoons cover...

 

Whew! If that bus were any shorter, it would be a Mazda2.

 

The disembodied scarecrow head on a gift box may be the most disturbing -- looks like Anthony Fremont's work.
