Just out of curiosity, what is iyo the 3 goriest pre-code stories ever published (POV, I'd be curious to hear your answer as well)? ---- Edit: On second thought, let's keep this particular thread sacred. Below is another picture instead. Edited September 6, 2003 by hkp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PovertyRow Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Finnish version of WDC&S 108 Man, Arty. Talk about esoteric! What is the deal with Finnish copies of these books? Were they printed in Finland? Did they span a lot of the issues? Have you compared a Finnish copy with an American copy to see if the contents are the same? Fascinating!

ArAich Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 One of my most satisfying aquisitions of the year.... ...complete with near-white pages... Pic is through the bag but as many people know it is far and few between that you can find one of these pulps in such spectacular condition...

PovertyRow Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 it is far and few between that you can find one of these pulps in such spectacular condition... I think you be right, Ara.

tb Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 The colors on that "Fantastic Novels" are awesome - great cover too! --- Arty (Re: Finnish edition WDCS): I am currently bidding on this very rare 1948 Danish edition that came out a year before the first issue of our local "Donald Duck" (started in 1949 and has been running continuously ever since). Do you know if there were similiar editions in Finland and the other Scandinavian countries? http://myyahoo.qxl.dk/accdb/viewItem.asp?IDI=9146240&ListingType=0&ListingSort=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 ok as promised here is the scan to the comic that has been the topic of discussion in the Yard Sale thread first is pre wonder bread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 and post wonder bread. The foxing is of course still there, but it really cleaned up a lot! I am not sure you can tell in the scans, but the difference in person is remarkable. Its a shame about the foxing, structurally its a solid VG with off white pages.

Arty Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Finnish version of WDC&S 108 Man, Arty. Talk about esoteric! What is the deal with Finnish copies of these books? Were they printed in Finland? Did they span a lot of the issues? Have you compared a Finnish copy with an American copy to see if the contents are the same? Fascinating! Actually it was a bit misleading to say it's a Finnish version of WDC&S 108 as only cover is from that issue. These comics weren't printed at the same time with US comics like Canadian editions were? Disney comics started much later in Nordic countries (Finland-1951, Denmark-1949, Sweden-1948, Norway-1948) so generally contents are different. There are exeptions like Four Color "One shots" which featured book lenght stories. Nordic editions had same covers and contents as their US-counterparts. (but still weren't published simultaneously with US-comics) Material for these books came from publisher in Denmark, as a company there had copyrights for publishing Disney comics in Scandinavia. I believe all countries printed their own books, including Finland . Usually page quality in these Scandinavian editions is far superior compared to US comics. -"Did they span a lot of the issues?" ...well full run of Finnish Aku Ankka=Donald Duck comics is 2500+ issues. It's still going strong with a print run of 273,000!!!! (yep... you read it right, stats are from year 2001) Btw there are about 6 million people in Finland... Since 1961 there has been 52 issuer per year. Material for these books were compiled from four titles WDC&S, Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, so that explains how it's possible to publish it weekly. Besides US comics I'm still trying to collect a full run of Finnish Donald Duck issues between 1951-1962. hey Pov...if you really wan't to have some info on these Finnish comics they have been fully indexed and that data is available here For example here's info on that particular issue AA7A-1953 with crosslinks to original US-publications. wow...that was a long post about foreign comics, I wonder did anyone really read this to the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shield Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Just bought this today! This is the very first MLJ comic ever produced! From November 1939. Dealer graded this a Good/Very good. I got a nice deal on it, and I couldn't resist. Anyway, these first issues always are expensive! I'm very glad to have gotten this one out of the way! The coolest thing about it is some pages are black and white only, while others are black, white, and magenta (red), and still others are full color...!
