Quote:Originally Posted by Badger Jeff...Thank you for your kind words. The variety of my collection came about as I was always on the lookout for first issues...not because I ever thought they would be valuable but I just enjoyed finding new characters. I was also limited in acquiring runs of favorite titles by the selection and numbers of copies at the newsstand or in the newsrooms. And, finally the lack of funds kept me from buying many of my favorite titles. Marty |

| Number 115 was the last issue of SUPER COMICS to feature DICK TRACY. The back cover announced that starting on January 1948 DICK TRACY will be featured in his own monthly comic.  OO  OO  OO SUPER COMICS #116 featured SMOKEY STOVER along with SWEENEY & SON and a 6-page adventure of CLYDE BEATTY...no ORPHAN ANNIE, SMITTY, WINNIE WINKLE, HAROLD TEEN, TINY TIM, MOON MULLINS or LITTLE JOE.  OO mm |
