Marty Mann Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I don't know if you have ever said how you ranked DC, Timely, and Fawcett as you were buying books off the stands as a kid. I would say that picking titles off the newsstand I was drawn to DC first followed by FAWCETT, 4-COLOR, HARVEY, QUALITY and then TIMELY which was not all that well distributed. Of course, if the cover grabbed me I didn't really care who published it. mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Seems like DC, Fawcett and Dell probably had the best distribution due to the fact there seem to be the most surviving titles today. That and the fact that they were a little "tamer" than most of the Timely and Nedor stuff. The "Paul" collection had very few Timely's and Nedors but a TON of Dell and DC's.

In addition to newsstand distribution, DELL 4-COLOR'S were sold in almost every 5 & 10 Cent store like GRANT'S and WOOLWORTH and in a lot of rural areas in the smaller BEN FRANKLIN type stores. For the most part, these were the only comic books these stores sold. mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heronext Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Don't post in this neck of the woods often. Is it just me, or is this a sweet book that popped up on eBay the other night? Really looking forward to receiving this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
