selegue Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 It's nice Jack, but these early Four Colors (don't know about all) were not printed on Glossy paper stock, so of course they look better in person than on the scan, but not like WDC&S or LT&MM (from the same time period that were printed on glossy) for example. I don't know why both were "Dell" comics. Joe I have a few of those books with lower-gloss, slightly heavier (if I remember right) cover stock. Actually, I like them as much as the glossy covers. I wonder what's the story on them. Dell experimenting with different processes or materials? Paper shortages? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I am glad to see this thread getting some more posts. here are a few more for the project. Does anyone else find those puppets really creepy? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Your copies are so fabulous, I hate to let them pass without comment! I saw a wretched copy of this with some crazy price tag (probably the NM price from the latest Overstreet) at a local auction recently. Unfortunately, even if the whole stack it seemed to be part of closed at $10-20, it wouldn't have been worth waiting around for. First series! WOO! Another movie I found creepy and disturbing when I was young -- I'm not sure why. Yessir, every adolescent American boy must have had a crush on Hayley Mills at one time. In pajamas! Hey, hey, it's Mickey! I didn't realize that he got a mention on the CGC label. Seems like a tough issue to find. Thanks for posting, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 here are more for the list. I think the Zwinky (663) has been posted, but this one was a very pretty file copy that I got from Verzyl in a trade from SDCC and I wanted to show it off. I thought that is was a bit funny that issue 666 was Santa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tb Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Thanks for sharing all these great books, bullet. I had never considered how much of the history of popular culture from the 40s and 50s is reflected in this title. Seeing all these high grade covers intermingled is a real treat. You've found a wonderful, fun, and different angle to collecting comics and I am really enjoying this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've found a wonderful, fun, and different angle to collecting comics and I am really enjoying this thread. Thanks. I tried to pick something that had not been done before, (at least in high grade),that to me is just as much about comics as it is a statement of pop culture of the 40's,50's and 60's. I would love to put together a high grade run of a few other titles like WDC&S, but alas, I am about twenty years too late to put that run together because of collectors like you.

Bullet123 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Nice to see you back posting Bullet - I was wondering where you had disappeared to! No time to scan. 4 kids and soccer season ( 80 games between Labor Day and Thanksgiving ) New Years Resolution to scan all of my CGC books. It should take me most of next year to finish but I am going to give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I share your frustration. As if the recent price increases had not made it difficult enough, the low dollar has forced me to rethink my collecting goals.
