Theagenes Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Bullet, did you get the Crippen copy of 190? If so I'd love to see it. Here's a cheap $5 pick up off ebay. This will need to be upgraded obviously, but for now it's one more to add to the list. 424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullet123 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I did not get the 190. Contrary to popular belief, I did not buy every Crippen as there are some weeks where I missed auctions completely because of my schedule. But as you will see over the next few weeks, I did manage to pick up a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 YOW! Your posts are knocking me out. I know I'll never have a copy of Adventure Bound like that because there may not be another copy of Adventure Bound like that. Dells are the neglected stepchildren of the comic-book industry, although they outsold most of today's favored sons. Wonderful stuff. Keep on posting them! Jack "inky dinky parlay foo" HAW!!

What was "Adventure Bound"? Was it original to comic books or did it come from some other source? Honestly, I have no idea. I was just using it as an example of the amazing, often obscure, Four Color books in primo condition that have been parading through this thread. My hat is off to bullet123. My personal grails are the Walt Kelly books. Personally, I'd love to have a run of FC reader copies that I could actually look at and smack on the scanner whenever the spirit moved me, but the high-grade copies here are astonishing to see.

Often ebay sellers don't mention Four Color (naturally, since it doesn't say that anywhere on most of them) so you've got to get lucky and find them by title. I'll never find Series 1, the first 25 or so of Series 2 or most of the early ducks that way, but it's a fun search anyway. I'm enjoying your cover display.

jmg3637 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) This thread was inspiring me to try to go for a full run of Four Colors until I saw yours. I realizied that starting off with only 100 or so and even trying to get decent copies would take the rest of my life and more $$$$$$ than i want to invest there. I still want to try to get a really nice assortment of FC's and would love to trade for the ones that I don't have. Since I am an Actuary I have always loved this one and even have it on display in my office. Edited January 30, 2007 by jmg3637 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know if you are aware, this title was a Donald Duck short cartoon from the 1959 and there is a half-sheet 22 inches x 28 inches that goes for around $75-$100 I will try and find you a jpeg of one if that is something you care about.
