| This issue contains a Full-Page ad for EDUCATIONAL COMICS PICTURE STORIES FROM THE BIBLE, both Old Testament and New Testament. Also a two page "Picture Story from American History" about Benedict Arnold and Nathan Hale and a four page "Picture Story from Mythology The Story of King Cronus And Young Jupiter". The American History story contained the note "Copyright 1945 by M.C. Gaines. Plus it's a great cover!  OO mm |

Quote:Originally Posted by martymann Marty - This book is an amazing piece of comic history. We identify Wonder Woman as a DC character, but she was first an All-American Publication, which eventually merged with National Periodical Publications. M. C. Gaines is a legendary figure in the birth of comics as we know them. The Educational Comics you refer to would eventually be taken over by his son, Bill, and become the EC comics that are so sought after today for their still controversial covers. Thanks so much for sharing! Here’s a picture of a few of the people that were involved in creating that comic. Can you name them? Here’s a hint, they say that Gaines (the senior) resembled a character from the Wizard of Oz.  |

| Marty - It must be very difficult to pick which books to have graded. With your wonderful collection, I look at it as preservation more than grading, trying to keep the best and rarest copies sound (and around) for future generations to enjoy. I would start with those that are not water damaged or incomplete. Then I would look at the iconic covers, like those amazing Schomburg covers, the horrific EC’s, and the Batman/Joker ones. But they are your treasures, so you have to make the hard decisions. I’m just glad that you share them with us too! |

Quote:Originally Posted by esaravo Thank you again for your truly kind words! Yes, my primary aim is preservation, trying to keep my favorites in as good a condition as I can...after so many years of cardboard box storage. And also hoping that the collecting community is aware that this collection exists. Marty |
