A Centaur a day...Funny Picture Stories 2/5 upgrade
4 4

1,275 posts in this topic

Hello all...

My goal is, starting January 1, to post a centaur (including family books from comic magazine, ultem, Chesler, etc) a day, until I've posted them all....the good , the bad, the ugly and yes a few incomplete place holders ( :wishluck: )

 

I believe , from a personal collecting standpoint, I'm nearing the end of my active/completist collecting goals (one small title left I'm actively collecting a subset of)

 

So, will detail here and see where the road takes me

 

Edit*** added a little backstory/collecting history on page 3

Any order? Genre type? First to last publication? Favourite groupings? Artist groupings?

 

Are they all going to be photographed on a pool table?

 

I have them in alpha numeric order ...so will start with amazing adventures funnies

 

Guess I will try to post full list in the coming days

For example, star ranger is issue 1-12, then title is changed to cowboy comics for issue 13&14, then goes to star ranger funnies for issue 15 and vol 2,1-5...

So cowboy will actually post between star ranger and star ranger funnies, if that makes sense ?

Given this is a company that kind of falls out of most mainstream collecting it might be fun if you could note any personal challenges you had in obtaining certain issues or any interesting background info. for the novice as you post them.

Gerber style! Love it, looking forward! Thank you!

 

 

(Though it admittedly also makes me nervous for fear of being bitten by the bug to chase Centaurs...)
