BangZoom Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 You turn up some neat stuff, BB. I've never heard of Talking Komics. Here is some information I found via the magic of my computer. From kiddierecords.com: BELDA TALKING KOMICS: This rare series had a similar concept to Capitol and RCA read-along albums except rather than the storybook being part of the album, the young listener received a separate comic book to follow as the record played. A total of eight Talking Komics titles were released along with the "Mysto-Magic" record, which would play a different nursery tune every time! Chirpy Cricket features the voice of Daws Butler, whose long list of cartoon characters include Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Wally Gator and Elroy Jetson. Actor Marvin Miller's (Grumpy Shark) distinguished career included film and voice work, including Aquaman and several other cartoons.

BangZoom Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Golden Age comics really are addictive, aren't they? Jack I love your new comic. Quality Comics seem to be generally overlooked by collectors. I don't know why. There is a vast wealth of great stories between their covers. Lots of Lou Fine, Jack Cole, Paul Gustavson, etc. I think the "gosh wow" factor is more pronounced in Golden Age comics compared to other eras. The artwork is often primitive but, quite often, exceptionally interesting visually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Speaking of comparisons. The evolution of Harry Donenfeld and Jack Liebowitz's publishing empire is fascinating. Here are the magazines they were publishing in 1934. ...and then 10 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 BZ, Thanks for the Chirpy cover. I didn't find the record. Someone posted it on FlickR and asked for information about the comic. I hadn't seen it before either. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 This could be a copy of Superbowl Comics. Or Goofy. Just in time for Kick-Off. bb It always comes down to kicking the pigskin through the uprights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Love this zepplin from Wings. From GA.UK. bb Hydrogen-filled -- WOO HOO! Which issue is it from? Historical or fiction story? (Looks fictional to me.) Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Zepplin is from Wings 36. And I don't believe it is historical. Zuper Zepplins like Super Planes were not part of WWII. Although I did see a German plane with 12 engines I think. 6 forward and 6 reverse. What a monster. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Incredible centerfold! My father used to collect stamps and I remember reading in one of his philatelic periodicals about individuals who specialized in collecting stamps that pictured zeppelins. Are there any comic covers that feature zeppelins? I can't think of any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) I don't recall any other Zeppelins that haven't been shown but I do have a scan of Wolverton's Space Hawk vs. the Zeppelin. bb The writer says dirigible which would be incorrect since the ship as drawn by Wolverton had an internal skeleton.

BB-Gun Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Blackhawk likes balloons too, but he could have used a parachute for that jump. And Jules Verne envisioned something like a Zeppelin for one or two of his stories.

BangZoom Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Neat comic. I have a few early issues of that title but I can't find them. However, in my search I did find #8 which is the last number of the series. It's a 25¢ 100 page issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Very cool, Scrooge. (thumbs u Is the cover story as interesting as it sounds? I tried to look at the comic over at goldenagecomics.co.uk but the issue they list as being #143 is actually 142. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
