shiverbones Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thanks! Some day I would like to have all the pre 1945 Our Gang's, WDC&S, Animal Comic & Looney Tunes, but it's going to take a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 repeat from Have a cigar since I think it fits here better... For my 10,000th post.... A personal grail! I just got this in today, I bought it sight unseen, and almost fell over when I saw how nice it was & that it is a white paged copy! Very hard to find Four Color #5 from 1942, the 1st Raggedy Ann & Andy comic! I have seen a couple of these over the last few years, but always 3 or 4 times over guide. This was at straight guide & I couldn't be happier! HOLY FUDD! Great catch. Another one that will probably keep me from getting a full Four Color run. Sight unseen from ebay or a dealer? Is it 100% Raggedy Ann & Andy contents? Did the supporting cast change later? I only recognize Snoopwiggy (love that name). Congrats! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Our Gang #8 Back cover WOW -- you're on fire! I like the back better than the front cover! What is that odd turkey protuberance that the Mouse Indian is hacking at? I see that the Our Gang story is "The gang prevent a murder at the movie studio" that was reprinted in Fantagraphics Vol 1. Great stuff! Congrats again. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack I bought them both from Jim Payette, a dealer I have used before & trust more than any other national dealer. The cast is mainly the same Grinny Bear is in there as well as the Loonies & others, but I am not sure if the Friendly dragon appears again or not. And yes, it's 68 pages of Raggedy ann goodness!

Thanks Bill, but I don't think WDC&S #1 or Looney #1 are ever going to happen for me. Well, not in the next couple years anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 I was going through the Weekend Edition of the Wall Street Journal and they reproduced in large another work of a Golden Age pioneer. They showed this Lou Glanzman interpretation of the Jackson Inauguration - Very impressive. I'm not familiar with this phase of his career so it comes as quite a pleasant surprise. Here are some more examples of Glanzman's illustrations that I found. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Some day I would like to have all the pre 1945 Our Gang's, WDC&S, Animal Comic & Looney Tunes... I feel exactly the same except I'd also add New Funnies and Raggedy Ann to my list. Whenever I see the high priced comics on the "Which one would you choose" thread, I always think to myself about how many early Dells I could buy with that amount of money. The other day I was admiring the scans of a few Animal Comics online. I'd forgotten how many great stories are in them. In addition to all the fantastic Walt Kelly contributions, there's always a bunch of other features that I find very appealing. Here are a few samples from Animal Comics #3.

BangZoom Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Droopy's first appearance was in the MGM cartoon "Dumb-Hounded," released by MGM on March 20, 1943. It's a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yes, New Funnies & Raggedy as well, And Santa Claus Funnies & Fairy Tale Parade to be complete about it! A lot of the same folks worked in all of those books. Thanks for those scans, Really jaw dropping work! My mind is reeling! I am hoping to find some nice cheap beat up Animal comics in NY in 2 weeks. It's funny, I too think the same thing during the "Which would you choose" contests. I could have just about all of those comics in GD for hat most of the other books sell for!

And they can't even read theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only did comics for a short period before he went on to bigger and better things. The recreation is quite large and very 'bright'. jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
