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. Awesome! I never noticed that before. Thanks for posting the list; for some reason it makes me happy that some issues have the notation. Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your posts were among the ones that got me on my Four Color Trading Quest, as well as being among my earlest patners. I must admit I do not ever remember seeing this cover previously. Quite interesting if you ever find yourself with an undercopy to pass on........ I am enjoying seeing all of the beautiful High Grade Mile High Four Colors up for Auction at Heritage. Too bad for the circumstances that caused their resurfacing here are a few more from Blissard Edited May 9, 2018 by jmg3637 adding scans Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Not sure I've seen this one before. My apologies if someone posted it and I've forgotten. Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Given that the prices on Church copies have been a mile high lately (I'm sooo clever!), I thought I had better finally pull the trigger on this one. Badger and sagii 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfcityduck Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'm finally getting around to submitting some more books to the CGC. I'm especially happy about this one because it will display nicely in my California situated comic room: Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others are 734 & 772. I missed that he had passed away. I do kind of remember seeing the Cheyenne TV series, but would have trouble coming up with any of the plots. I have a clearer recollection of Maverick, maybe because I also saw them in reruns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I liked the Magoo cartoons as a kid, but looking back on it, they sure got a lot of mileage out of what were really only one-joke plots. A little surprised that this copy is currently the highest graded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Which set of 100's do you guys like the best? Looking at them over, I believe that my favorites are the 100's followed by the 600's. The 200's are also in contention but didn't quite make it in the # 2 spot. What are your favorite ranges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great question. Going to take some pondering. The 300s have some of my favorite Barks Duck issues — particularly Christmas for Shacktown, which is in my top two or three of his stories, and Only a Poor Old Man. But I need to check out some of the other issues in that run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even Cheyenne isn’t much remembered these days. I wouldn’t be able to come up with the plot of a single episode. Other Western stars of that era — James Arness, Fess Parker, James Garner, even Lorne Greene — seem to be better remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that I wasn't surprised you hadn't heard since it didn't make the news headlines, not that I was surprised it didn't make the news headlines. However, I also remembered that Clint Walker had yet another Four Color cover to his name, namely # 1056, Yellowstone Kelly - alongside the ever hip Kookie - Edited May 30, 2018 by Scrooge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Bought this raw on Heritage as an 8.0. Noticed a peculiarity on the census: This FC number is in twice -- once with a 1961 date and once with a 1962 date. Anyone happen to know whether the book was first printed in 1961 and then reprinted in 1962, or is this just a screw-up on the census?
