I was lucky enough to acquire several books that have personally drawn cartoons by Partch inside the front cover.

I wrote Partch a fan letter back in 1966 and he sent me the original artwork for a Sunday strip as a thank you.

 

Those were fun days. :cloud9:

Big George was the one non-adventure strip from that time that I loved.

Wow! Thanks BZ! I have to say, that to actually be posted in the legendary "Golden Age Collection" thread is truly an honor. I've read every post -- and could not have understood half of what I might about comics if it weren't for the Gold Board. Many of you were of immense help to me -- I think of this place as pulps/comics grad school. I'm a comics guy my whole life -- but still learned a TON here. I thanked the Board by name in the book.

 

I'll be posting some art/artifacts up on the book's website at: www.super-boys.com

Today I have something on there where you can sign the actual Superman check!

But I will come back and post some stuff here, too, if you don't mind.

 

Here's something just for the board, who I know likes artifacts. Here is the cover of the Glenville HIgh School yearbook in 1929:

Thanks again,

Here's an interesting little article that ran in Jerry Siegel's high school newspaper in the fall of 1933.

Very cool - thanks for sharing this. It would be fun if someone might have the ad that appeared in Amazing Stories. You'd think it would have mentioned Superman(?).

I found several ads for S-F -- but not that Amazing Stories one -- and I looked. BZ?

 

Unfortunately, Dr. Occult is not collected anywhere -- but I reproduce some panels of it in the book.

 

DC is producing a big "Siegel/Shuster Omnibus" edition of Action reprints to coincide with the new movie, but I believe it is all Superman. It's too bad -- their early stuff is really phenomenal work.

 

BZ -- that Superman ad is like pristine.....
