+ 1.10%

This is a place for fans of Platinum Age, Victorian Age and Pioneer Age comics, Big Little Books, Sunday funnies, premium pins & badges and other pre-1940 treasures. For the most part, if it’s pre-1940 and listed in (or should be listed in) Overstreet it should fit right in. If it’s a little bit post 1940, but cool, it’ll probably work too.

This is a big one. George Cruikshank was a Victorian Age caricaturist, illustrator and cartoonist. This is the 1846 printer’s proof (untrimmed so slightly oversized) of his seminal anti-alcoholic work The Bottle signed by Cruikshank himself!

The one that started it all! Doc Savage The Man Of Bronze - the first issue* of the long running series featuring the world’s first superhero.

Recent pick up. Slowly checking them off. I’m down to just needing 5 issues to complete the 181 issue set. Doc Savage The Meteor Menace (March 1934 Street & Smith).

Golden Age gem in beautiful shape - The Gumps #1 (1947). I picked up a nice lot of #1-5 a while back.

Slowly chipping away at the series. This is probably the last of the $ triple digit books. The last few are gonna be painful. Doc Savage The Spook Legion (April 1935). This cover was used on the first edition of Philip Jose Farmer’s Doc Savage His Apocalyptic Life.

“Honey? Before Buster goes to play, can you hand him a hatchet and have him go kill a turkey?” Buster Brown’s Latest Frolics (1907 Cupples & Leon).

I don’t think there are any bad Phantom covers. The Phantom And The Girl Of Mystery (1947 Whitman BLB #1416).

This early Platinum Age gem is a big one. Buster Brown And His Resolutions (1903 Frederick Stokes). This was the first nationally distributed comic book (distributed through Sears & Roebuck stores).

This strip, about the original invisible girl, ran from 1940 to 1965. Invisible Scarlet O’Neil All Picture Comics (1942 Whitman BLB #1403).

Based on the long running strip by Dashiell Hammett and Alex Raymond! Secret Agent X-9 And The Mad Assassin (1936 Whitman BLB #1144).
