tb Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I've really enjoyed all your books, Mr. Whiz, thanks a lot from me too. Seeing and learning about books that I never knew existed makes it fun to follow the boards. The Popeye books appeal to me because they have a timeless quality about them that make them stand out from most Platinum comics. Seeing them in this condition is just wonderful.

ciorac Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 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...
GACollectibles Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Enoch Bolles (1883-1976) is probably best known for the covers he painted for Film Fun magazine. He produced over 200 covers for the magazine during a 21 year period. I just picked up a few Film Fun with his covers, including this classic 1934 issue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 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. really cool book! seems like a good price for such an artifact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 April, 1939 Sometimes Film Fun reprinted covers with a slight revision to the original painting. The original cover (March, 1938) pictured the girl with a cigarette tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
