Scrooge Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Here's another hole - FC 1253 from 50 years ago: Jan / March 1962. Unfortunately, the interiors aren't by Wally Wood but rather by Jack Sparling ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Have all the Brownies Four Colors been posted? I had a chance to buy a few high grade ones 15-20 years ago but I had no interest at the time ... and now of course I wish I'd scooped them up.

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Here's a scan of another all too often underappreciated Four Color title: Excellent shape. Hepcat, Did your Four Colors come out of a single collection? They all look to be in nice shape and unlike most Four Colors of the era that were read to death. Or are they file copies? They don't strike me as file copies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) My Four Colors all came from different places at different times. Some are indeed File copies. These I've tried to indicate whenever possible. Edited January 23, 2012 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 A cruel parody of a character out of the mists of time. Nice copy though. JPS Here's another issue devoted to a character out of the mists of time: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Here is a sample of what is inside the Yak Yak comic. I love Jack Davis' humor work. When I was a kid I collected the You'll Die Laughing, Funny Valentine, and other gum card sets he illustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) So did I! And I've since reassembled my childhood collection! First my Jack Davis Wacky Plaks from 1959: Now here are photos/scans of my 1959 You'll Die Laughing cards and wrapper: Edited January 26, 2012 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) The Topps Jack Davis Funny Valentines cards are one of the most beloved items in my collection. They're not scarce, they're not expensive, but I remember them in the schoolyard and the Jack Davis artwork is just too cool! The first set was issued in 1959: Here is a picture of the original art to one of the Funny Valentine cards that I've framed and have hanging in my comic room:: The Funny Valentines A set was issued in 1960: The Giant Funny Valentines were issued in 1961 and then reissued in 1966. The 1961 cards have red-orange backs while the 1966 reissue has bright red backs. The 1966 reissue was also printed in both the U.S. and Canada. They're easy to differentiate because the U.S. version was printed on white card stock while the Canadian version was printed on grey card stock. The fine print on the back also tells you in which country the cards were printed. U.S.A. Canada Edited January 24, 2012 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thumbs u I have no excuses, though this book was part of a 50 books for 50 bucks lot, I picked up a few years ago. BTW, is anyone tracking this thread to see if all 1354 issues get posted? I seem to recall reading that early on in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
