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

How about these two then?

 

 

 

Li'l Abner hasn't generated any buzz in decades.

 

 

 

But the artwork is so good that they may not be allowed on the short bus.

I wonder whether it's all Al Capp in these issues. Could there be some Frazetta there?

 

 

Nice copies!

Okay. Let me try again then. Here's a title that's only mentioned by doddering old codgers when they're deep within their cups:

Don't really have anywhere else to put these two I came across the floor of the Baltimore show tonight. Beaters but cool cover for the Super-Mystery and Palais art on the cover story and the Tailspin Tommy art looked really nice when I flipped through it -

Ther's nothing unpopular about this mad scientist cover!

Doll Man doesn't get much love around here.

 

 

But inside this issue My favorite Bill Ward headlights page.

I didn't know there was such a "doll" in Dollman or I might have picked up one or two by now.

 

Thanks for sharing the interior page. (thumbs u

[Iksar]

That may be the best interior page I've ever seen in a Golden Age comic.

Super Mystery has some great stories, too...not just the covers.

I tried to count all the straight lines on that cover but gave up.

No fair. You need to tell us which book that's from ... or at least PM me so I can buy a copy before everyone else ...

What's that from?

[generic user]

The Ratzis and Jap Rats panels are from the "Patriotic Piper" story in Chuckle, the Giggly Book of Comic Animals.

Artist is Carl Wessler (as COW, which is a great way to sign your work in a funny animal comic). I showed the back cover of Chuckle somewhere recently, but here's both covers.
