BangZoom Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Well done! I guessed that series was a possibility but GCD calls #4 Dell. What a confusing publishing history! Overstreet says that #6 is the first Dell issue. If you have the issues in hand, could you tell me the publisher in the indicia of #4 and 5? If there's a correction to be made, I'll send it to GCD. Jack, #'s 4 and 5 are both published by Hawley Publications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I must confess - I just pulled up the galleries for long running Dell series on GCD until I found it, checking Popular and Super first, though OS listed no other publisher. They did for Red Ryder, and I just hoped it would be in one of the galleries. Without the clue I would have been - well - clueless. NIcely done! I didn't even look at Red Ryder as I assumed they would all be western covers. I was starting to think it might be Popular 30 since it's a Gerber no-show and isn't in GCD.

BangZoom Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Theagenes, I thought you might be the one to identify the comic because it is pictured in the Photo-Journal on the same row as Hi-Spot Comics 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack, #'s 4 and 5 are both published by Hawley Publications. Also, for those that don't know, issue #2 was retitled Hi-Spot Comics and featured a David Innes/Pellucidar story. This book has been one of my grails for a long time and I finally won a low grade copy from heritage the other night - can't wait 'til it gets here! Unfortunately for ERB fans the planned Pellucidar series didn't work out and the title went back to Red Ryder with issue #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I look at that page in the Gerber, the only thing I see is the HS 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Congratulations, rjpb YEAH Congrats on sticking with it!! Here I thought it was a small area of the cover when it's the whole dang thing. Thanks for the quizzes BZ. Here's a more light-hearted story after the ordeal of the 12 hour search of the quizz's answer - (Source: Crack Comics # 52) - You have to stick with the story for the payoff on the last page ...

I don't know whether GCD will add 3, 4, 5 to the Hawley series (now only #1) or start a new series with just 3, 4, 5. Do you know who drew the aviation covers? #5 says "Gary"? It looks like Harman did the Red Ryder inset. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Do you know whether #3 says Hawley in the indicia? Do you know who drew the aviation covers? #5 says "Gary"? The indicia indicates that # 3 is indeed published by Hawley. The cover to # 4 is also signed by Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Do you know who drew the aviation covers? #5 says "Gary"? I just noticed that issue # 3 has a two page feature titled, "Jim Gary's War Pictures." I believe it's most likely that he is the cover artist for issues 4 and 5.

rjpb Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Like that Beezy strip - nice art. Reminds me of when I worked at a restaurant years ago and one of the waitresses came in for dinner with a strikingly attractive and well proportioned young woman ( though she was wearing perhaps too much make-up). I asked about her later and the waitress told me it was her cousin from the south who was all of 13 If my daughters start looking too "grown-up" when they're that young, they're getting burkahs on their birthdays.
