catman76 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 A few of my four colors. The Howdy Doody one I found in a used bookstore on May 20, 1989. I just remember that exact date for some reason, who knows why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Can't post this in the ducks thread because gyro is a chicken. (Yes, that's a poultry reason...*) So I thought I'd post it here. *Thank you. I'm here all week. Must be something foul afoot Andrew; as I'm sure Gyro shows up in the Duck family tree!

AJD Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Someone noticed! Thanks Frank. But Don Rosa doesn't have any chickens in the family tree. Just ducks, geese, coots and one each of loon and grebe: 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Scrooge got married and had a daughter who married Ludwig von Drake?! Yeah, I never really read the Rosa Duck books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I think you are misreading the family tree. Furgus McDuck & Downy O'Drake got married. They had three children Matilda McDuck ( Who got married to Ludwig Von Drake) Hortense McDuck ( Who married Quackmore Duck, and BEGAT DONALD & Della DUCK) And finally the infamous $crooge McDuck who neither Wed nor Begat anyone Della DUck married someone and Begat Huey, Dewey and Louie Hence they are Donald's nephews. They are also the Great Nephew's of $crooge and via marriage Ludwig as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comicdey Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Great Ducks you have there.... Here's a few Variants you are unlikely to come across Four Color 855 Broken Arrow Four Color 893 Jim Bowie and Jungle Jim #13....of course not a Four color, but issues he did appear in Four Color 490 (#1), Four Color 454 (#2) and Four Color #1020 (#20), So I'm giving it a pass and saying that 3-19 almost qualify.

jmg3637 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I don't think I ever remember another series that started in Four Color, Graduated into their own series, and then returned to the Four Color series. After finishing the mostly High Grade additions from 4GEM. time for some much lower grade examples from Blissard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Spending much of my Holiday weekend organizing various aspects of my collection. Spent nearly 5 hours sorting , organizing bagging boarding and double booking the last 15 months of DC reading Material while watching DareDevil . Today it is back to the Scanning and filing of the more recent additions to My Four Color Trading Project. Between the entering on both of my logs often re-bagging along with scanning both back and front. Then naming each image uploading the image t Photobucket and titling each image there as well. Some where along the way reducing the image to 800 pixels wide to save size and space,moving those images from the scan folder to the Four COlor folde .Once all of that is done I can actually file this batch of 150 in with the other 900+ and figure out where another box or two will fit in that storage section Whew sounds a bit OCD huh? A few more from 4GEM. If I celebrated Christmas, it felt like these should have been under my tree Edited September 4, 2016 by jmg3637 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I posted this in the General, but thought it might be missed there by the crowd who actually knew of him Hugh OBrian passed last night. He made it to 91. A good long well lived life This last one was actually signed by Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Besides Jim (jmg3637), who are the big Dell Four Color collectors in here? I'm currently taking offers on a small lot of 52 Dell Four Color books I'm selling on consignment. The lot includes issues #12,19,29,46,51 and 57 and a few other early Barks Donald Ducks. If anyone has any serious interest in buying the lot send me a PM. There are 866 comics in this collection which includes a lot of Dell westerns and Tarzan, misc. Gold Key runs and an almost complete run of Classics Illustrateds (1-169) and over half are original issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 It's rare that I find Four Colors to add to the collection but with intensive bin diving, I turned up 3 at the Baltimore Con. One of those was # 1301 - Adventures in Paradise - Before opening it, I went to the GCD to see who the artist was (weird, I know) and saw Jack Sparling. I thought, great! another Four Color I won't enjoy. Boy, was I wrong. This one is a corker with one insane -script. Dunno if Sparling wrote it or not but the book is FULL of full page illustration recounting native legends about Shark. You can view it at ComicBook+. I suggest you do - http://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=37967 Here are a couple of sample pages - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
