Scrooge Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Wow - that's a trippy Four Color! What were the other two you found? I had to look it up: # 184 - Tillie the Toiler and # 557 - Ben Bowie that had been eluding me somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This was my last purchase of 2016 (iv'e already added two new additions to my collection for 2017 -i know: slacker! ). I'm building a Clown cover subset (not counting the Ace Periodicals baddie of the same name or clown king The Joker). I'm almost complete, but this one iv'e always considered the 'coup de grace'! Rifleman #10 gets all the love for photo cover with 'unintended overtones', but this one is just all kinds of bizarre: The leg crossed boy(Mickey Dolenz of 'The Monkees' fame) chewing on straw, the cigar smoking big footed creepy clown (and you know what they say about clowns with big feet? -Big red nose)! .Was waiting for a certified 9.0 or better, and whammo! Thanks Heritage! I know it's Silver, but it is a 10 cent cover, and pre hero Silver Marvel (and i hang out more here than in Silver so.. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comicdey Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 We must be very close to having all issues posted. Montezuma would know. I love seeing all the 15 cent postage stamp issues since I'm still filling my dell rack and they give me something to look for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Noah Beery Jr. was Joey, the clown, in Circus Boy. Batman was the ring master/owner (Robert Lowery). and yes, I used to watch that show before Mickey joined the Monkees.

BB-Gun Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) It looks like this one was on the shelves in October of 1956. Edited January 6, 2017 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damonwad Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Probably my favorite Duck cover. The Barks stories aren't too shabby either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Probably my favorite Duck cover. The Barks stories aren't too shabby either. though I don't own any, it's always been the 'one' I would get a copy of If I were to only have one 'Duck book' in my collection. Really great cover!

BB-Gun Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Magic Hourglass and Uncle Scrooge 5 are my favs and DD 54 (Dinosaur Valley) and Four Color 29 are a close 3rd and 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutant Manatee Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 One of the few I own, Four Color #10 (Series II) Flash Gordon by Alex Raymond. I purchased this one here on the boards from Catrick. It was from the "Helen Gray" original owner collection that he acquired a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I am mostly a duck collector but I do like Mickey, Porky and Bugs, especially when Barks has used his magic on the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
