BB-Gun Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Btw, you can hear those Jungle Jim radio shows at the OTR Library just click on Jungle Jim towards the bottom Thanks Scrooge. I don't think I have listened to Jungle Jim before. I am a fan of the Shadow, Green Hornet, Lone Ranger, Superman, I Love a Mystery and Buck Rogers radio shows. They have the Buck's origin story in the OTR library. I love the early Buck Rogers Sunday pages but mostly have those and the dailies in reprint volumes.

BB-Gun Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Another Oksner scan which someone probably got from a reprint. Thanks, but sorry I don't remember where it came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkadin Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hey kids,what time is it? It's obscure 1950's comic strip time! The Howdy Doody Sunday strip ran from 1950-53. It was drawn by Chad Grothkopf and Stan Lee did some scripting on it. Like so many other obscure, weird 50's strips, these are great fun to collect and rather hard to find. Here's my only Doody Sunday - from March 11, 1951. I found it on the reverse of a Pogo tab I had: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few pages from coloring books. He also did many of the Duck covers like FC 178. Edited June 30, 2014 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) I found this ad in my beat up copy of Superman 22. It is a pretty good comic with some nice ads. I kind of wonder about the Superman book. The art doesn't look like Shuster's work to me. Anyone have an idea who did it? Not my book and the scans were posted on ebay and other places. I was wondering whether Keaton's art was used for the pictures. It actually reminds me of Voight's work or Howard Sherman's Slam Bradley.

BB-Gun Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Superman 22 also has a satirical gremlin and Hitler story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadin Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Picked up a bunch of Spirit sections, all from the Sunday Compass, a leftist newspaper published in New York City from 1949 - 52. These are from 1950. Besides being in nice condition, these sections all have a major bonus: they feature Jules Feiffer's great strip, Clifford, on the back page. Feiffer was only 18 when he did these. I love the way the strip captures the feel of a 50's New York tenement childhood of candy stores, back lot baseball games and cowboy heroes.

Arkadin Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Lost my comic collection recently in a fire - sigh - so it's time to get back on the horse. I've picked up a few Sunday strips already. White Boy by Garret Price. This classic 1930's adventure strip about an orphan boy taken in by an Indian tribe in the Old West sure didn't look like anything else in the Sunday comics. Little Nemo from 1935 by Winsor McCay's son Robert. Continuing the Sunday surrealism, I also snagged a couple of primo Hejji pages by Dr. Suess (1935). Finally here's one for porcupine, a 1935 Felix with a Laura topper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost part of my collection in a fire at my mother's house where I was storing some comics many years ago. Those that were stored in a cedar chest survived and are still high grade. Back then I just stored everything on a shelf. Fortunately, I have replaced the damaged books (mostly silver age) and I didn't have any golden age in that group.

BB-Gun Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I just realized that the first Superman Sunday strip was just a teaser. The actual first strip gave a more succinct origin and not as good as the daily pages. The origin was rehashed for Sunday pages several years later.

BB-Gun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I was admiring this comic page from afar and the rocket at the top when I suddenly realized that the torpedo (not rocket) was in the Jungle Jim topper not Flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadin Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 On Sundays, I like to read whatever new additions I've made to my Sunday comics collection. Today, it's my latest Spirit tab. This one is part of the "Jewel of Gizeh" sequence, with a classic "cover." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 I do like those giant Eisner pages. Several were on display at the Jewish museum of art in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
