BB-Gun Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) I was just looking at Heritage's offerings in last night's auction and noticed that Detective Comics #26 features our old friend making another cover appearance. Raggedy Ann Four Color 23 above Found it on the HTLM site. Also looked at Popeye FC 17, 26 and 43. None of them had the Jeep story. Perhaps the story is in Four Color 25 from the first series. Also read the Four Color 48 Porky Pig story and the Christmas parade stories that I hadn't seen. bb Edited November 21, 2009 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I can't imagine how mortified Martin Goodman could have been seeing one of his comics being highlighted like below during the comic book witch hunt.

BangZoom Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Interesting article, Scrooge. I wonder if the author of that story exaggerated certain facts to make a point? The description of a 3 year girl being sent to the newsstand by her father to buy a "lewd" comic seems a bit contrived. One of my favorite comic references that I've found online, while exploring periodical archives, is a profile of Mickey Spillane in the June 23rd 1952 issue of LIFE magazine. They mention his friendship with comic book pioneers Ray and Joe Gill, etc. Mickey Spillane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The source of your Jeep page remains a mystery. While I was looking through the Popeyes I read many of the strips. It was lots of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Orb Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I agree. Interesting article. The editorial does seem a little biased. I can't imagine too many three year olds being capable of buying the specific sordid comic dad wanted. When my kids were three they probably would have just swallowed the dime.

selegue Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I thought we had already narrowed down the Jeep page to 1st series FC 25. GCD says "entire book comprised of 1 page reprints of Thimble Theatre from 1935-1937. Starts on inside front cover (black/red) and ends on back cover. Brutus on cover only--not in book. First appearance of "the Jeep" reprinted?" I guess the question mark remains a concern. Jack Raggedy Ann Four Color 23 above Found it on the HTLM site. Also looked at Popeye FC 17, 26 and 43.

I remember that note about the FC 25 but no one on the boards has seen the issue or scans of FC 25. You probably are correct. I should just go back and read the pages and enjoy all of that early Popeye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markseifert Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 researching an article on Wertham and that era for Wizard magazine many many years ago, I came upon a pre-code era magazine article which claimed two young boys stole a plane -- and were able to fly it -- because they'd seen the same scenario played out in a comic book. Interesting article, Scrooge. I wonder if the author of that story exaggerated certain facts to make a point?

Theagenes Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I love those St. John covers, BB. The Mastermind of Mars was first published in the 1927 Amazing Stories Annual. This is Frank Paul's cover version. That's the nicest copy I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Frazetta version has sex and violence and it is cheap. Found this in a box in my basement. I used to belong to the scifi book club back in the seventies and I know this isn't worth much but I enjoy the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Dejah Thoris. Traci Lords is Princess of Mars What in all the Barsoomian hells was that?! I'm appalled, yet... strangely attracted. I may have to check this out to tide me over until the Pixar version comes out. And shouldn't Traci Lords be like 50 or so now? She looks pretty good.
