Robot Man Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I second that emotion! Very cool books! I am also very surprised to see that Salida Andy Panda. You just never see Salidas let alone the funny animal ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4GEMWORKS Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) More Questions than answers? Below is the list of "missing Four Colors" that have been positioned as likely candidates. What I have determined is that those books that are almost certainly "missing" have no issue number on the cover AND if you look at the indicia you will see the issue number listed is the same 7 digit code on the cover. If the issue number in the indicia is missing, it might actually be number 1 and not missing. Below the list I am exhibiting 4 of the issues listed with comments. Check it out: 1217: Ken and Barbie #1 01-053-207 1228: Bonanza 01-070-207 1292: Cain’s Hundred #1 01-094-207 1314: Donald Duck Album 01-204-207 1315: Follow the Sun 01-280-207 1316: King Leanardo 01-390-207 1317: Laramie: 01-418-207 1318: Leave it to Beaver 01-428-207 1319: Lolly and Pepper 01-459-207 1320: Man From Wells fargo 01-495-207 1321: Marge’s Lulu and Tubby in Japan 01-476-207 1322: The Prince and the Pauper 01-654-207 1323: National Velvet 01-556-207 1324: Pixie Dixie and Mr. Jinx 01-631-207 1325: The Real McCoy’s 01-689-207 1326: The Twilight Zone 01-860-207 1327: The Untouchables 01-879-207 1329 This is unusual. Ben casey seems to fit the spot (#1 ) 12-063-207 However Gyro Gearloose also seems to fit the spot. In fact I have a Gyro Gearloose in a CGC case titled Four Color #1329, despite the fact that 1329 is listed nowhere on the title or indica. 1331: Blue Phantom #1 01-066-208 1334: Dazey’s Diary 01-174-208 1338: Fury 01-292-208 1339 Rawhide 01-684-208 1340: Beany and Cecil 01-057-209 1342: Brenda Lee’s Life Story 01-078-209 1343: Bullwinkle 01-090-209 1344: Drift Marlo #1 01-090-209 1345: Famous Indian Tribes #1 12-264-209 1346; Jungle War Stories #1 01-384-209 1347: King Of Diamonds 01-391-209 1351: The Magic Sword 12-496-209 1352: Ponytail #1 12-641-209 1353: 77 Sunset Strip 01-742-209 One book that seems to be lost and would also fit in this slot (1353), is The Twist 01-864-209 1355: Bonanza 01-070-210 1356: The Three Stooges Meet Hercules 01-828-208 1357: Mickey Mouse Album 12-518-210 1358: National Velvet 12-556-210 1359: The Twilight Zone 12-860-210 1360: The Untouchables 12-879-210 1361 (questionable?) Walt Disney’s Goofy: Scoutmaster This Untouchables from 1962 has an indicia which is a match with the cover and probably missing. There were two issues before this in Four Color and as is typical, 2 more might have been normal before they went off to their own numbered series Twilight Zone from May-July 1962. Same as Untouchables and likely a missing Four Color. Twilight Zone July to Oct 1962. Same as above. Likely a missing Four Color. Drift Marlo 1962. The indicia does not match the outside cover and no issue number is listed. This may or MAY NOT be a missing Four Color. It has the trait of a number 1 issue and may be just that. We might just have to assume it is number 1 and not missing. I'm just not sure. Many of my copies are CGC' d. I'd be interested in having fellow board members post pictures of the indicia from the books on the list above and other possible candidates that may not be on the list. All missing Four Colors are almost certainly be from May-August or August to October 1962. Edited February 17, 2016 by 4GEMWORKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopNotch Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Does anyone know about this 15 cent variant? The only other one I have heard about was in this heritage auction. Is this a Canadian variant or something else? Has anyone seen any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a Canadian variant or something else? Has anyone seen any others? I was the one that bought that book. It is not a Canadian issue per the indicia. It appears to have been a price variant.
