I'm on a major 1930s kick and buying up every decent copy I come across. One example from 1938.

 

 

 

I am on the same kick....I find I have much more interest in the 30's books then the 50's Super Hero Stuff.....

what a great cover!

[ciorac]

Try and find this one in better grade!! Also 1938. Plus oversized (15" x 10.5").

 

 

Very cool Mark (thumbs u

 

I've been buying oversized comics lately too. A little more bang for the buck never hurts.

 

Regarding your '30s kick. It gets a tad pricey towards the end, but a man of your means can handle it.

 

[143ksk]

Yup. Air Fighters is one heck of a title

 

And, because I'm trying to post this book in as many threads as possible...

 

 

....always liked that cover.......just have not been able to find it in suitable condition, so i had to settle for a non-colorized version...

Yes, there are a few specific books I might have to skip buying for quite some time!!!

y'all aren't going to be heading over to the holiday wishes thread very much anymore. gator posted the whole damn night before christmas yesterday. i'm so proud of my reply, i'm pasting it here, too.

 

 

 

'twas the day after christmas,

and gator grew bored,

he wondered and wondered,

why're my books all restored?

 

some color touch here,

and trimming seen there,

"now i see what they mean,

about buyer beware".

 

cracked out some high-grade,

then pressed and resubbed,

6.5 and now purple,

CGC so redubbed.

 

a box sent to mattie,

for some resto removal,

once more all went purple;

'neath the grader's approval.

 

"from now on for me only

original owner collections,"

still they went purple,

after the grader's inspection.

 

"i hate cgc,"

said the gator frustrated,

one more came back purple,

"the cover's been mated."

 

"i'll switch over to coins,"

said the gator with hope,

but those, too, have work,

you big stoopid dope.

 

so as gator sits,

waiting for the last batch,

that'll leave him with nothing,

but his poor head to scratch.

 

makes a wish for the new year,

and prays it comes true,

that when he makes a purchase,

no more purple, but all BLUE.

Wow, great stuff.

What are the indicia titles of D ick Tracy, Famous Feature Stories and the earlier posted Charlie McCarthy? I'd like to add the covers to GCD if you don't mind, but I can't figure out where they belong. Maybe they're there under another title.

 

Thanks,

Jack

the tracy (it is putting 'spoon', so we should call him "Richard Tracy') has 'No. 4' on the cover published by Dell copyright 1937,1938 by the Chicago Tribune Large Feature Comics reprints tracy strips. I have a #11 also.

 

 

Famous Feature Stories one issue Dell Publishing copyright Western Printing & Lithographing

co.

 

Has some illios but reprints written stories " Tracy', Don Winslow etc.

D ick works too.

It's in the GCD under Large Feature but the index is totally buggered up. I wish I could see your copy to fix it.

Aha, text stories. Not a comic book according to GCD. (You've got to draw the line somewhere.)

 

Thanks!
