SWEET I remember a dealer from back in the day who used to be a regular at the NYC shows (before NYCC/cosplay days)and he used to say that that block of Bugs issues were the ones I should focus on. This was still in my mostly silver/bronze focus days. In fact he used to have a printed catalog he'd mail out or have at the shows and in particular in his listing for Four Color 164 (Bugs Bunny Discovers the Frozen Kingdom) he included the blurb " as good as any Barks story". I didn't know who 'Barks' was then , but knowing what I know now it's probably blaspheme to even repeat that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been looking for decent shape and priced copies of those Bugs for years. For $5 though I would have snagged these too. I don’t know if the interior stories are as good as the covers but I sure hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) Bonus Four Color question - anyone remember which Four Color comic made an appearance in Steranko’s History of the Comics book? Hopefully my memory isn’t faulty here but it’s a cover I vividly remember. First correct answer gets assigned a missing Four Color number!

Tri-Color Brian Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 They do...and that is lame. He is Smokey "the" Bear. His name is Smokey and he is a bear. Smokey Bear is not his name. Bear is not a last name, it is what he is...this has ticked me off since the 80s when they changed it. Just one of my many pet peeves...about things done by less than intelligent people...

Icculus308win Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) History of Smokey Bear from the Smokey Bear Website Or History of Smokey Bear “Smokey Bear became very popular. In 1952, Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins wrote the anthem that would cause a debate among Smokey enthusiasts for the next several decades. In order to maintain the correct rhythm, the writers added a "the" between "Smokey" and "Bear." As testament to the song's popularity, Smokey Bear became known as "Smokey The Bear" to many adoring fans, but in actuality his name never changed, and he is still known correctly as Smokey Bear.” On 1/8/2018 at 5:56 PM, Tri-ColorBrian said: They do...and that is lame.
