OtherEric Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Some issues in today. Let's start with the Looney Tunes. I particularly like the Phantom and Frozen Kingdom covers: damonwad, Transplant, PopKulture and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 And a couple others. I've been looking for the Albert & Pogo for ages... I personally think it's harder to find than the 105, and people seem to want to ask a fortune for it. So happy to have won it on an auction on MCS for far less than I was prepared to pay. The Jacky's Diary is just one I've wanted to see for a while... Jack Mendelsohn was an incredible creator who isn't as well known as he should be. But I've enjoyed his work ever since I first saw Yellow Submarine on TV as a kid. (He was one fo the writers.) PopKulture and kaculler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 New HP All-in-one replacement has the same problem the other one had. It will not maintain a direct connection to the primary home PC to send scans to It is at least bow working where the PC can access and order the scan. A couple of added benefits of this method are that the settings are all saved.

Popular Post Jesse-Lee Posted April 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2023 Found this one for $20. I don't even collect Four Color, but it looked like such a pretty copy for such an old book that I felt like I couldn't pass on it. The colors really pop in person.

Popular Post Ameri Posted April 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2023 I went to a thrift store yesterday and behind the counter were these two plastic bags with 6 books each but the bags were all stapled up so I couldn't see all the books in the bags. I took a chance and they gave me both bags for $30. Here's what I got. Professor K, Primetime, PopKulture and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I was/am A claccis illustrated collector before beginning on the four colors. As I neared completion of the much easier any HRN copy i switched to the four colors. Picked up another 3 on my list fro. The ebay seller Generations. Very nice copies at reasonable prices. Earliest copy was a 529 little beaver from 1954 Got me wondering where the character originated. I know that Robert Blake played him in some kind of shorts after his days in the little rascals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find the exact date Little Beaver 1st appeared but it seems like it was very early on. He probably was a charactor right from the beginning.

kaculler Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Little Beaver is listed as appearing in early 1939 issues of Crackajack Funnies which included Red Ryder Sundays reprints from 1938 so the supposition that he was there from the beginning (or close to it) seems correct. Meanwhile, Four Color #694 arrived in the mail today and now the highest issue left on my want list is #302. I'm down to needing 42 issues from Series II.

jmg3637 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I just pulled the trigger on a large purchaase from MCS. I won a First Series # 12 Little Orphan Annie . Now down to only 6 missing in the First Series. They issued a store wide 10-20% discount that is running now but for only maybe a few more days. If you are not a member sign up through the link below I will get a credit and will send you comics as a thank you. SOmebody did this last year and I got a $$ credit, but they forgot to tell me so I cannot respond. I do think they have the best collector website in the business. Is there anybody even close? Anyway this discount prompted me to add most of the items in my basket to the order and have a total of 28 books coming. 3 of my missing Classics , 5 Missing Four Colors and 20 Actual Four COlors that I was missing. I went against my principles as only 5 of htese books will be EITHER 4.0 or above or cost over $25. and 15 of the 20 will move from missing section right to the UPgradable section. In the process I will decrease both my average cost and average grade. Once these arrive I will be down to about 40 holes in both runs combined PopKulture, kaculler and OtherEric 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, I don't have a copy of SOTI to check. @SOTIcollector, do you know why Bugs Bunny Four Color #250 was referenced in SOTI? It was looking at your site that I saw it on the list of books.
