Triple threat!

Uncut Wisco giveaways, as far as I can tell only the middle one is listed.

Here's another funny one.

Teach your kids all about horse racing, what peri-mutual betting is, and how to place a Perfecta,

Advertises Ballantine beer on the back page!

And after all, who doesn't appreciate a horse in spectacles, a green turtleneck, and Jams? LOL

Those are both oddballs I like em

Here is mine.

Pretty cool, Bo. I like the Blackstone especially.

That's one of the best thing about promo comics - there are so many that it is possible to find really oddball unlisted ones.

Here are some other ones devoted to the subject...

VERY cool, BOOT!

Who knew there was a whole subspecies of promo books just on horse racing?

There have been a LOT of racetracks over the years, I bet there are more of 'em out there than we suspect.

Love this oddball, unlisted Merchant Marine comic!

This 1956 comic book/greeting card was produced by National Comics Publications, Inc. Unlisted D.C.? Anyone recognize this artist?

Just picked up a set of the Popped Wheat giveaways, not posting all of them because I'm sure everybody has seen them dozens of times. But here's one just to give this post some color:

These books are famously some of the most common books of the era, of course. But does anybody happen to know exactly why there are so many of them around in high grade? I'm guessing a warehouse find, but I've never heard the story.

What a neat item! I know I recognize the art, but I'm not sure who it is. It's not Mayer, but other than that I'm not sure. (I am sure once somebody says who it is I'll go "of course, why couldn't I remember the name", but that's a separate issue. :-) )

Same here. I recognize that smug smile, but I just can't get the name. A clue, Boot?
