garthgantu Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Gabriel Brown. There's a performer you don't don't see mentioned very often. He had a unique sound. Good buy. Yeah, but ol' Gabe's success took a real downturn when his guitar launched a solo career... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrin_Radd Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Shocked Robin Corner Pose! That corner pose actually has a lot more grit to his expression than typical. Very nice book. Is that a giant Batman or just a small building? It's a classic cover and story. Three racketeers share their stories of how the Batman foiled their plans.

BangZoom Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Well, it's been a while, a Polly daily near the Felix then, and a 1932 Messmer Felix Sunday, almost just as way cool as a 1932 Polly & her Pals - sure thang, kin we see both? 32 is a very good year for Felix - would appreciate it, if you can git to it easily Here you go, Bob.

Robert Beerbohm Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Thank you BZ, you be gentleman and scholar - yep, both gems of the art form, this is a prime period on both i just love - i have 15 Polly Sundays and want more, dailies or Sundays. And one day an early 30s Felix Sunday will come my way, but i have to get my hip joint replaced so i can get back in the game like i had been. You use non-glare UV glass on your originals? then again, if they never get direct sunlight, there is no problem - i say this cuz the paper looks supple off white on both stunning pieces.

BangZoom Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 The strips were framed about 35 years ago. I don't think I'd even heard of UV glass back then. The good news is that the curtains in the collection room are always closed, so sunlight (thankfully) isn't an issue. Your having 15 Polly Sunday originals is VERY impressive. I remember once seeing a large run of Polly and Her Pals Sunday strips from the late 20's. They were very artsy. I'd never seen a strip quite like it.

Robert Beerbohm Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Most of my Polly originals are late ones, but towards the end, Sterrett could no longer afford ghost helpers, hence, one gets pure undiluted Sterrett towards the end. The Sunday strip ended mid June 1958 after a logn run which began in 1912 and i have a few Sundays which were unpublished dating into October 1958, I like Sterrett's Polly strip circa 1927-1935 as much as i like Herriman's Krazy Kat, which is to say a lot. I used to have a complete run of the Sunday tear sheets acquired back in the 1970s, which all got turned into paper mache bricks with the 1986 flooding which destroyed the comics company i was an owner of - along with my complete runs into the 1940s of Popeye, Barney Google, Bringing Up Father, Felix, Mickey Mouse, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Gasoline Alley and many other classics. As the libraries of America converted to micro fiche and literally were throwing away the bound volumes, i got in on the racket of simply offering up the freight charges to transport - the libraries loved it cuz they saved on garbage charges at the time The past decade has seen me getting some of this stuff back and i have maybe 600 Polly tear sheets once again - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garthgantu Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Okay, changing the subject a bit, and perhaps pushing my luck a bit... any Gasoline Alley originals, especially Sundays? Some of those Sundays are absolutely surreal, but I don't think I've ever seen them pre-coloring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 1972 Moores Gasoline Alley original. It's nice, but certainly couldn't be described as surreal. Maybe Bob Beerbohm has something from the period you're seeking.

ft88 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 BZ - more Bugs Bunny books if you please. That'll give you a break from all the Tec fanboys. Also, if you have any of the lobby cards/ posters of the Bugs Bunny or Warner Bros cartoons those would also be grand. I figure with your focus on Bugs and your penchant for collecting pretty much everything, you might have those lying around. BTW, along with the Uncle Scrooge reference, I remember one of the early Gladstones where US is in a different section of his money bin (or possibly basement) where he has stacks of old posters and other collectibles. He says something like they would sell for $100 each and he got them for nothing or next to nothing. I can't remember if it was Barks reprint or a European rendering but it was a good story. Anyone else remember this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyS-migration Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Does this conversation about original art and it exploding value, vindicate such original art proponents as Krazykat? I missed a lot of his posts, but it seemed like that was all he talked about. Also, are there special needs for the preservation of original artwork? The appeal of original art for me, other than it's historical significance, is that it could be treated as artwork and displayed. my opinion is that the core of what Brad Savage (KK) talks about has some merit, but this is obscured by his hyperbole and myopism. KK wasn't banned because he promotes the collecting of OA. he was banned because he claims, and continues to claim, that buying comics is a waste of time and only a fool would "invest" in comics. it's all about the $$$$ for KK this person krazykat (who, in reality, is mild-mannered mortgage lender St....., whoops) was merely expressing first ammendment rights and got banned? Why? Because you often need to tow the party line. Sad but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
