BB-Gun Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Thanks BZ, There is lots of good information there. I noticed there was nothing listed in the GCD but they did have pictures of the covers for all four issues. I thought Bob Kane was a contributor too. Maybe he was Bob Smart. Supposedly he was the reason that Eisner started. Well he did work with Iger and Kane on Jumbo and other strips done by the shop (attached is the Wow 2 cover from the GCD with Captain Dalton). Did Eisner do the second cover? Briefer seems to be in the middle of everything too. I think he did the first cover. It is funny that we only remember him for his Frankenstein strip. By the way I saw Young Frankenstein last week. I enjoyed it a lot. Igor and Elizabeth were great characters like in the movie but more so. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 This is a book nobody owns, except you and Jon B., the only two I've seen!!! One ended on eBay within the last 2 weeks - Linky Poo I don't think every one saw it since it was listed under pulps. I was too chicken to bid too high on it. My bid did register before being blown ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind Owl Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Thanks Scrooge!!! Never knew about the E-Bay auction!!! I wonder how many of these still exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 There are 2 recorded Heritage sales on Wow # 1 and Al Stolz had a complete run a couple of years ago. Assuming they are all different, we're up to about 6 or 7 copies floating around at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I had read it somewhere. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbcomicbox Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Here are the four issues. Note that the Bailey page was printed in Wow #4. The original art piece is from Feature Funnies #1. I discovered that the upper left quadrant was obviously cut from the Wow 4 art and placed in the Feature Funnies 1 page. Gotta be one of the earliest original comicbook art out there. It helps to have these books which not alot of attention to. Esoteric miniutia for those who may care. jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbush-Man Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 here are #1-3 So, that one issue went for $227.50.........and you've got issue 1-3.......so that would be $682.50 for the lot, right?

They seem to be a mixture of Comic & Pulp, with more emphasis on the pulp side!!! Is that an accurate assessment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flee-Marquette Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 "Double Indemnity" Feel free to toss in a movie poster pic when you feel like it. I picked this movie poster up at the flea-market this morning and wanted to share. I figured this would be the safest place to post it. I love obscure 50's B-movie stuff and this has that "Reform School Girl" feel to it. I googled Cleo Moore and evidently she is a cult-favorite and was a minor-league Marilyn Monroe. I love the title graphic with the camera. Now I need to figure a way to convince the wife that this needs to be on our office wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Thanks BZ, There is lots of good information there. I noticed there was nothing listed in the GCD but they did have pictures of the covers for all four issues. .... That's because no one with a copy of any of the books has indexed them! I seem to have misplaced my set -- I don't suppose anyone around here owns any? If I remember right, I uploaded the GCD covers from these very boards. If anyone has a full issue photographed legibly or scanned, I'd take a shot at indexing them with credit to the owner. It would be great to get these historical books into the GCD!
