 PEDIGREED... Again!

| Part of the enjoyment I receive from revisiting my collection is running across issues that appeared to be special to me at one time and then remembering why...like this DELL FOUR COLOR #173. It states on the cover "Introducing for the first time...FLASH GORDON COMICS especially written and drawn for this book." Up to this time I believe all of the FLASH GORDON comics contained reprints of the daily and Sunday newspaper strips. I guess this would make this the first FLASH GORDON Comic Book.  mm |

| Found this hanging by a clothespin in the window of a corner store...in 1948 this was the very first time I had ever seen the mention of Superhero creators introducing a new character. I'm sure they were others but I never saw them.  mm |

Quote:Originally Posted by Badger Unfortunately I'm afraid it would not grade very well... the cover is partially detached from the one center staple and the centerfold is completely detached. The pages are in good shape with three CAPTAIN AMERICA stories and one HUMAN TORCH story. Thanks for asking! Marty |

| DOPEY DUCK COMICS are listed as Timely Comics (NPP) which stands for NON-PAREL PUBLISHING CORPORATION, KRAZY KROW is listed as Marvel Comics (ZPC) ZENITH PUBLISHING CORPORATION, ZIGGY PIG- SILLY SEAL is listed as Timely Comics (CmPL)COMEDY PUBLICATIONS, INC. ANIMATED FUNNY COMIC-TUNES is U.S.A. COMICS MAGAZINE CORP. (Timely), IDEAL COMICS is Timely Comics (MgPC) MARGOOD PUBLISHING CORPORATION ...I could go on but it's just interesting that TIMELY/MARVEL had all these different publishing names all at 350 Fifth Avenue. New York...must have been tough work for the Mail Room. Marty |
