I can honestly say that I've never seen that one before!

 

To my eye there's more than a touch of the Dr Suess in the art style there.

 

 

JR Williams predates Dr. Seuss.  His strip started in the early 1920s.  The Worry Wart was part of the Willets family and was featured in the Funnies.  I found this one in my old stack of Comic files from Comic Book Plus.

Great book.  I remember seeing the Church copy go for what seemed to me to be a really strong price a couple of years ago.  But higher grade FCs seem to have heated up.

Probably coming soon to a sales thread near you, but so cool to get a decent copy of Four Color 4. :bigsmile:

I was the underbidder on that one.  That sticker on the front is awesome.  I picked up 3 of the other Smilin Jacks (at great prices)

Here are the 2 Smilin Jacks from Four Color Series 1

5 & 10 from 1939 & 1940 That's some pretty old Four Color

My Dad's name is Jack and he told me when he was a little kid his folks would pick up Smilin Jack comics for him.  He would have been 6 years old when these came out.

Missing 1315 (The very fact they label it #1 instead of "nn" makes me wonder if it's really missing.

@4GEMWORKS Great stuff!  I've picked up a few of missing FCs as well -- only after first learning about them through your posts to this thread.  Some of the books you just posted I've never seen before.  Makes me wonder whether Dell's distribution was breaking down during mid-1962.

What the heck?  I think I may have posted some (all?) of these before, but I've reorganizing my PB so these are now grouped together.  I think they all qualify as missing FCs.
