Sqeggs Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Possibly a missing Four Color (1353, although @4GEMWORKS also has a 77 Sunset Strip in that slot). In any event, it's a tough book and I ended up paying a lot more for it than I had expected. AJD, Scrooge and Badger 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Also picked up this one cheap, probably because of the really bad miscut. Kind of unusual on a Dell book, I think. Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another tough one I got really luck on was Little Lulu and Tubby in Japan (around missing 1320). I got luck and ground a pretty good copy in Terry's comic catalogue. I need to post some more pictures on of t hese days of some of teh missing issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's weird that they do that for all the Four Colors. Why bother since you're staring at the same info in the title on the front cover of the book?

Sqeggs Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) 11 minutes ago, atomised said: random question. Are the Dell Walt Disney's Comics and Stories considered a Four Color book? Thanks Nope. The Four Color series was its own separate series. I don't think it actually says "Four Color" anywhere in the indicia, iirc. That name was given to the series in the early days of fandom by Don and Maggie Thompson. I think Overstreet has a writeup on it at the beginning of his listing of them. There were some Duck comics included in the Four Color series -- including some of Barks's best DD stories and the first three issues of Uncle Scrooge. But WDC&S was a separate Dell series.

Montezuma Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Some of the earlier four color had it printed on the cover, They also usually had the numbering on the first page, usually in the bottom left panel OS18 in the case of the issue below which stood for One Shot 18 Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Finally got around to looking at Overstreet: "Note: Four Color only appears on issues #19-25, 1-99, 101. Dell Publishing Co. filed these as Series I, #1-25, and Series II #1-1354." I think in early editions, he gave credit to Don and Maggie for figuring this out, but maybe I'm misremembering.
