Straw-Man Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I do like those early Heroic covers. I tried to post this before but I don't know if it made it through. bb Fabulous! I agree about the covers -- do you think this one is a team effort with Peters on Man o' Metal and Everett on Hydro-Man? Not as gooped up with captions and logos as some GA covers -- at least they're out of the way. One of the few Golden Age sets that I'd consider chasing. Far enough off most collectors' radar that the prices aren't too crazy. (OK, maybe I'd wait and buy each issue after ciorac has it -- working on a full run or just selected issues?) Jack jack, a couple are hard; i've had one hole missing in the 1-15 run for a LONG time now, and never a sniff at it. So much for that half-baked idea. Billy P can't find one = no way in the world I could accumulate a set. What's the tough one, or would you rather not draw attention to it? Jack #10, right there in my sig line. and, by the way, why aren't you intimately familiar with my sig line so as to be out there on the front lines, hunting for books i need???

Straw-Man Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 picked up a cool little book off ebay for next to nothing. there are actually a goodly number of super-mystery issues that i dig. and don't get all revved up gator; it's not THAT kind of pounding excitement.

shiverbones Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I don't know where to put these. Here? Short bus? Duck thread? Bangzoom's thread? I stopped at The Great Escape on my way out of Bowling Green, KY, last night. Nice shop with about half comics and half music. They were doing a brisk business. I spent a while pawing through the cheapo bins then looked at some misc -- I couldn't resist these Peter Porkchops. Reasonable prices after 20% off for buying a good-sized stack. Peter Porkchops 21 May-53 Peter Porkchops 38 Jul-55. Unusual cover with all the empty white and light blue space. (The light blue didn't scan well but the scanner made a little light foxing look like advanced leprosy.) Peter Porkchops 45 Sep-56. I like this one best of the bunch even though it's sort of wordy. Already posted on the calendar thread in General. Peter Porkchops 51 Sep-57. Nice, simple cover with very "thick" inks. Reminds me of the fan favorite cover of Donald Duck shooting a bee off his beak. Jack I love em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 well i vowed i'd get off new funny books for awhile after getting in to the MC 1. i guess 36 hours should about do it. i figure the chance to get a jackpot 4 in any shape wasn't to be passed up. thanks go to flatrock. Great pick up. I almost hit that one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Nice funny animals, selegue! ... One more old funny animal book with a question. Frisky Fables Vol. 4 No. 4, Sep-48. Cover says "Curtis distributed" but indicia says "Premium Group". Is this an original or reprint? Obviously it's a total dishrag, but since it was dirt cheap and complete I couldn't resist the Al Fago artwork. Jack Great cover I never noticed the almost washtone quality of it before. I do not think JCA art is actually drawn by Fago, But I do think he helmed the group, and a lot of it is done in his vague style. I wish we knew more about that group.
