SOTIcollector Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) On 4/23/2023 at 12:58 AM, OtherEric said: I'm not sure, I don't have a copy of SOTI to check. @SOTIcollector, do you know why Bugs Bunny Four Color #250 was referenced in SOTI? It was looking at your site that I saw it on the list of books. Thanks for the tag. I'm happy to help. Here's what Wertham had to say on p. 309 of SOTI: The same theme of race ridicule is played up in the good animal comic book Bugs Bunny. Colored people are described as "superstitious natives" and you see them running away. The injury-to-the-eye motif is added, Bugs Bunny being shown throwing little diamonds into the eyes of the colored people. They are "big enough to blind a feller!" says Bunny. "Awk! I can't see!" says one victim. Is that not the same crime-comic-book ingredient adapted to the youngest set?

jmg3637 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I have a copy , or maybe still two, of the Your United States mentioned as a :good Comic" SO after adding 23 FOur Colors I am I am down to only 42 left. Of those 6 are first series and another 6 are among the first 50 issues in second series. That is followed by my best streak of completed between 42 and 203. I was surprised that with so many additions and how few are left that I did not finish any other 100 columns I will do a deeper dive into the stats over the weekend AJD and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I have that Nellie on my upgrade list as my copy is only a 3.0 So, upon reviewing further I found that with getting 1335 Aggie Mack I have actually completed all of the "Standard" Four Colors in the 1300 range. There are not many of the potential 54 that are actually in the real Four Color system instead of the "missing Four Color". In the spreadsheet I had active space sfor 1329 and 1334. I knew 1329 was really a missing, but had not realized that the name filling in 1334 was repeated form a few issues earlier . I also only need 673, 740 and 835 to complete each of those 100's and have a string of over 300 in a row. OtherEric and PopKulture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 was very happy to fill this hole. From a fairly recent transaction with MCS I think this completes the entire run of Little Lulu's I even have two that I have upgraded and I will be sending off to trade with MCS for some new additions soon PopKulture, kaculler, Badger and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Nice OLD book. I had my first copy sitting out in my office for quite a while. Now I have my slabbed copy of Pirate Gold on display. I am sending off my undercopy of #17 to MCS in my next lot. . Even though it is a bit lower than yours, it should reach the consigment value I am also including in the MCS box are some Promotional Harvey comics such as American Airlines and Weather Bird SHoes. Won a bunch of stuff like that off ebay from our owm Blissard. They were advertised as files copies, and they are beautiful. Wonder how the MCS graders will view them? kaculler and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the Harvey Astro-Comics issues that I had as a kid, which included all of the ones from the later series. I bought a number of the earlier ones from Blissard to fill gaps, though I still need #5 from 1968 and #1,2 from 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
