50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Classics don't get a lot of love but I really enjoy the covers on these and this was a bargain pick up in the last Comic Link auction. Too nice to crack out of the slab to read. Bonus points as my son read Huck Finn this summer and he enjoyed the cover too commenting that he remembered that scene in the book. Sorry son, we used to read these instead of the books as kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy707 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) My first Action Comics . I had been looking for this scarce book for awhile. I'm ecstatic to finally have it, with off-white pages to boot. Big thanks to the boardies that I got these from!

Scrooge Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Not a book but I really like Giolitti's work in early '50's Dell comics like Jungle Jim, Sgt. Preston, etc. and particularly in the Tonto series. So when a couple of pages showed up in last week's Heritage auction ... well, you know, one was delivered this morning and here's a panel from it (The scene takes place at night) Not everyone might get excited about Tonto but I'm pleased as peach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they were both a part of the Mississippi River School of Artists who had fallen on hard times and then turned to Gilberton for work to sustain them in their later years.
