Montezuma Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Here's another of the Fairy Tale Parades. CBG's Standard Catalog of Comic Books lists a variant issue 144 Fairy Tale Parade. In the 20 years it took me to put together my four color set the only 144 I've ever seen is the Roy Rogers issue. Does anyone know if the variant actually exists, or did someone just read a 114 or 104 as a 144? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a signature at bottom right? The demonic bug looks almost like he belongs in shiverbone's bag of tricks! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montezuma Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I don't have the book with me, but I believe the signature is Jameson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Interesting style with the plump, shiny cheeks and all. The facial expressions look like the artist may have been thinking of Disney's Seven Dwarves. Anyone know who did the cover? Is the interior artwork similar? Jack I was thinking of the similarity to Bob Clampett's Beany and Cecil but the drawves could be an influence as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Yes, the artwork on the inside, inside the front cover, inside the back cover and the back cover all appear to be drawn by the same person.

ft88 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Here's the back cover end of the story for FC 164. Bugs sure is a stinker. Now imagine 52 pages of this. Sad with such good covers and genius cartoons that the comic interiors disappoint. Pure nostalgia though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
