BB-Gun Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 I think I have a few Krazy Kat reprints from comics and the Smithsonian collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Those Mickey Mouse Sunday pages were so popular Dell asked someone to create a regular strip just for comics. Barks chose Donald for his adventure strips. Edited December 29, 2015 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadin Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Just added some 1930 first year Buck Rogers to my strip collection. 86 years old and about as classic as you can get. PopKulture and BB-Gun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Was Frazetta's strip too late for the Sunday action/adventure type strips or did he just stop working on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkadin Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 This recent pick-up is a bit of a grail for me, a real piece of comic history. It's taken years for one of these to show up on eBay.

PopKulture Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Wonderful piece of comic history! Congratulations. And to think I get excited when I find an "On The Wing" strip or the like. Small potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkadin Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 There are a lot of Terry comic books, so it might have been. Not sure though, as I don't collect those. These have been collected in hardcover by IDW as half pages - yet I have never seen an early Terry strip as a half, only as tabs like the one above. Anyone here ever see one as a half?

Any early Buck Rogers is worth seeing. I enjoy these more than the later work by Frazetta (although both are great). I am not really sure how I got the Star Map. It could be from a reprint or posted by another Boardie. Edited June 27, 2017 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman76 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I love old sunday comics pages and how gigantic they are. It's such a different experience than seeing them reprinted less than half the size in books. Seeing this thread made me want to dig out my stacks of Buck Rogers pages. Next I have to dig out my Krazy Kats. Arkadin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
