OtherEric Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 What's that? You say I have to bring some brand new scans to the discussion as well? Fine, here's the other two books I have from the first 14 months of the title, since I've already shown 5 and 6 in this thread: I've actually got 15-25 complete, I'll see if I can get a few of those scanned in the next day or two.

sagii Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Right, since everybody is joining the fun right now, I'll post a few that I already had scanned and shared in other threads way back when: My first wartime comic. Not just the first Looney Tunes, but my first ever. Had it for close to 30 years now: And a few other random issues I found floating in my bucket: This period of the run had some cool covers too. Nice copies Eric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Sure is. Here's an oddity: a Bugs-less cover in the run - # 22 - All these summer themed covers are.....HOT And Marty, never. Your oo run of the title is special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The only issue in my collection that has SNIFFLES on the cover...are there any others? Cool one Marty, one of the best in the run. Yes he was featured on LT&MM #'s 4, 12 and 14. He's also on the super rare 'Famous Gang Book of Comics' Firestone Christmas promo cover (which later morphed into the Donald and Mickey X-Mas series)with Bugs and Co. Sniffles also appeared on these covers: # 68 - and # 75 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Marty, I'm having a grand time going through my LTMM box so thanks for starting the scanning! Here are a couple more whose covers I enjoy - # 79 - and # 80 - Remind me of that Hollywood-themed cover you posted recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniffles also appeared on these covers: # 68 - and # 75 - Funny to note, how again, like Petunia , Sniffles rated in the comics making more GA covers than other more household name LT&MM stars.

OtherEric Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 And, jumping ahead a bit, let's peek at the ending. Gold Key didn't continue the Looney Tunes title when they took over from Dell, and the series went away until the mid-70's. But that version did make it into the early 80's, and DC's version picked up mid-90's, so there have been Looney Tunes comic books every decade since the 40's. Even if I don't bother much with the Gold Key or DC versions, this fact makes me happy. The last issue of the Dell run, July-September 1962: And then in October, Gold Key takes over the show: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pink Beach Fun cover is a gem! And that last Dell issue cover has always been a fave. The business as usual expression on Bugs' face and Elmer like 'what the...?!?' Just great stuff, and fun facts sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 According to Treasury Direct, that bond (assuming issued in May 1942) would have required a purchase price of $75 !! (No mean amount of money at the time). Bond matured in 1982 with a value of $384. Thanks for posting it, Mr. Chopped Liver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
