BangZoom Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'd noticed that Mr. Door Tree had posted quite a quite a few Wyeth illustrations over the past few months, but I don't remember seeing the New Story covers. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm a big fan of the adventure fiction that was popular in the pulps in the 1920's. October 1928, November 1928, December 1928 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Life takes its toll. ... but so unusual I don't recall if I ever scanned this Gremlins splash page for Jack? Thankfully someone wrote down which issue of Popular this coverless is - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 This is the Gremlins splash from Popular Comics #88. Did this series just run in #'s 85-88? WOEfully underindexed. No info at GCD or Overstreet. I only have 3 Popular Comics, none in that range. Scrooge's splash must be from 85-87, you think? Great splashes, but I like Kelly's Gremlins better. Thanks!

Scrooge Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 This is the Gremlins splash from Popular Comics #88. Scrooge's splash must be from 85-87, you think? My scan is deceiving somehow but on the actual paper copy, it's clearly readable as 85 not 88. Below is the second page of that very first story. The little guys have family names also. They are: Nutsy Boltaction Screwy Turnbuckle and Gassy Half-Pint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfcityduck Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Great choice! I love Barks. My favorite comic book cover and story of all time, for purely personal reasons as it was part of my Dad's collection that I discovered my grandparents attic as a boy, is Donald Duck in the Land of the Totem Poles. If Barks had done a painting of that I'd be paying anything to get it. Hopefully Gemstone will stay in business long enough to get us the complete Barks library in hardcover. I love reading Barks and I can't wait until my son (now in first grade) is a tiny bit a better reader and can really enjoy those stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
