BangZoom Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I've seen this book with and without the branding at the top.. was it a giveaway? Neat book. I've never seen that one before. I checked the Heritage archives and discovered that they sold a copy two years ago that didn't have a store's name printed on the cover. I like yours better.

BangZoom Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I watched Popeye cartoons on CKLW from Windsor. Captain Jolly was the host and he was played by Toby David who was a local disk jockey. Fun to watch at the time. Especially liked the Alladin cartoon and Sinbad. Capt. was later replaced by Poopdeck Paul. I used to watch Cap'n Tugg on WTTG. Kid's show hosts: Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Incredible, amazing. I am not sure how else to begin this, my first post here. I followed a link to this thread from a lesser used forum on another site. I had started from the first post and finally read through it in about a month, then for the last couple of weeks I have been exploring this site. To see all of these Golden Age treasures that I had thought had been lost to the winds of time has really given me a passion for Comics again. (I stopped buying new comics on a regular basis in 1998). I myself have a few Golden Age Comics which I will now have to dig out and look at again and maybe post a couple of scans myself. I don’t want to ramble on too much here. I just want to say Thank You, Bangzoom for starting this thread and sharing your collection(s) and also for the many others who have posted here. When I get a chance I will post next in the “So what do you look like??” thread. It may take me a few days. Oh, and Flee, your stuff cracks me up. Scott aka ThreeSeas Thanks for the kind words, Scott. You'll have a great time here on the boards. What do you collect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Some other nice Popeye books from my collection. Also three of the oversized Charlie Chaplin books by Segar that came out years before Thimble Theater and Popeye. WOW!!! Cheezy, you have an impressive collection. You have several books I've never seen before. Do you also collect vintage Popeye toys and other related items of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 For the curious, here is a sample of Segar's artwork from the book Charlie Chaplin's Funny Stunts that was published by M.A. Donohue in 1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried to collect any toys other than a few early card and board games. I'm mainly sticking with paper collectibles for now. I just love comics and books. Here are a couple more pieces: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeSeas Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks for the kind words, Scott. You'll have a great time here on the boards. What do you collect? Many things. Too many. I mainly collect Carl Barks' works. I stared in awe at my pc screen when you posted the picture of your painting by Carl Barks..coolness. I own the hard cover reprints like Uncle Scrooge McDuck, His Life and Times (no. 1416 of 5000, Feb ’82), Uncle Scrooge in color no. 193 of 750, the ten slipcase 30 volume set and the Abbeville Press oversized HC books. I was never able to buy or find the originals so I quenched my thirst on those books. It was a lot of cash for me at the time but I had to have them. My second love of comics would be the Archie comics. Just ask my twelve year old daughter, Veronica, who is also an Archie fan. Yep I named her after a comic character. I liked the name so I used it. Wifey got to name my first born so it was my turn on the second one. I do have a bunch of Archie Comics from the early to mid 50’s that my parents had bought for me at a farm auction 25 or so years ago, along with the late 60's to 90's comics I bought new. When I was first able to, I would buy every Disney, Archie, and then horror comics that I could find. I have many of the black and white independents that came out during the mid-80’s glut. Much of it was good reading, to me anyways. I read mainly DC super heroes in the early 80's and collected them new until 1998 when the comic shop I frequented closed. With a couple of munchkins at home I had to cut back on some spending so out went new comics. I am also a fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs and I have a majority of his books in paperback which I read in my high school days. It was cool seeing all of the pictures of the original HC’s. Last spring I was on an across state trip and I picked up the book on tape ( MP3 player) of A princess or Mars and after 25 years I still enjoyed it. I was worried that I would not as it had been so long since I had read it. I have many other things I have collected over the years, which I may tell at another time. My ID, ThreeSeas is what I picked as it looks better then CCC which is based on my favorite hobbies: Comics, Coins, and (muscle) Cars. Keep the posts coming, BZ and everyone, they are a joy to read. Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Fantastic books. I wish I owned them. Great illo. Segar's art sure did evolve from the time he was drawing the Charlie Chaplin strip to this later period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Take a look at this extraordinary book that sold for $8776 on eBay. From the auction description: Link "1940 Book contains a lot of original art by many of the 1940's Disney animators, many of the drawings are quite risqué! This is all original artwork done in 1946. The drawings and signatures are actually drawn on the pages of the book." "This book was from Walt Disney and his staff as a going away gift to artist Sally Holmes when she was leaving her job at Disney Studios. From what I hear, she was quite a hot beauty. You can see that many of the artists who contributed and signed their art in this book, certainly had some wild fantasies about this young woman."

CheezyWhiz Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Thanks for the kudos on my Popeye books, guys. Appreciate it! Here's another.. This is my ultimate Popeye grail book. Feature Book #nn. Gerber 10. Overstreet says 3 known copies -- well, 4 now. I really lucked out when I found this book on ebay a year ago. A woman discovered it in her father's attic in Queens, NY along with a couple other beater GA books. I can't possibly relay how thrilled I was to get this book in my collection.. and how I'm even more thrilled that it now looks as good as it does. I don't know if you GA forum guys ever wander into the restoration forum.. but I recently posted this book there to show off the amazing restoration job Matt (restoman) and Kenny (Ze-Man) of Classics Incorporated did. You'll be blown away by the before and after shots. LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheezyWhiz Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Take a look at this extraordinary book that sold for $8776 on eBay. That's an incredible book. I forwarded the link to all my animator friends. Funny, too.. Now-a-days, that sort of sexist humor would be grounds for a sexual harassment suit. Times have changed.
