BangZoom Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Gorgeous book. I considered bidding on that, but ultimately decided I couldn't afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generic user Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 The other day I was looking at some 1930's sideshow photos online and I took special note of this shot. I wonder if Olive Oyl ever found out about Popeye and the Four-Legged Girl? http://thehumanmarvels.com/?p=44 I guess four legs trumped three arms as a selling point. "With her earnings she purchased a 260 acre ranch for her parents and sent all eleven of her siblings to college." "Her beauty and generosity drew many male suitors...." guess Popeye wasn't alone...

BangZoom Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 The Popeye strip was a hoot. The humor, even after all these years, still stands up. I was visiting a circus friend this past weekend and he showed me a copy of the 1936 Ringling program in which I discovered...Popeye. There's no escaping him.

Geppi's Museum has a bunch of those biscuit boxes.. and some of the cookies encased in plexiglass. Still edible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 As much as I buy Atom Age books, a large chunk of my budget goes to what is my Golden Age of reprints. Here's part of my monthly DCBS order delivered at my door yesterday Mary Perkins here I come ... as soon as I finish Gasoline Alley's 1928 strips I don't know how Bedrock can get anything achieved at the store with all the cool stuff coming in The Wednesday Comics HC is a beauty!

BB-Gun Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 My budget is shot now that I work for the state. I can only afford the covers and not the reprints unless they are used. Missed a Popeye FC the other day and that kind of hurt. I hope one of the board fans got it and I don't see it again at a higher starting bid. This was the first Stoner Phantasmo by the way.

adamstrange Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Very cool selection! Who's DCBS? What's that Atomic Knights book? What is the Wednesday Comic?

BB-Gun Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 BZ, I think you have already shown the All American 22 but didn't show these other two. Do you have the later issues of All-American? bb OK, I like the cars on the GL covers. Liked the movie Cars too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm sure all Golden Age collectors are familiar with Will Eisner's Sprit supplements that were produced for the Sunday funnies. Here is the Chicago Sunday Tribune's version which also tried to replicate the format of comic books. These examples are from 1940 and 1941.
