  1. Rich and I were both looking for nice copies of Scrooge #6 at one stage and talked a bit about it. I ended up with a 6.5 as well, and there aren't too many higher copies on the census, last time I looked.
  2. never mind - I replied to something that had already been answered
  3. I think most if not all of those books were printed in Australia for the NZ market, often with different cover prices and sometimes different page counts. It's a bit of a minefield for collectors - and then there are the UK versions...
  4. One more, this time with the photo cover. FP14, reprints Four Color #712

    Australian Disney Comics Vol 4 Shorter series

    My collection of Australian reprints of Disney comics (1947-1978) has well and truly outgrown a single album. This album contains images of Australian printed Disney comics in the following series. It will grow as I manage to find them! This volume is an 'other' volume that contains the shorter series. You can find the longer running ones in volumes 1 through 3. Character Issues CI (26 issues) - many of these reprint parts of Dell Four Color issues Christmas Parade CP (15 issues) Film Preview (90 issues) Movie and TV tie-ins, reprinted from Dell Four Color and later Gold Key adaptations Jumbo series J (57 issues) - these are 64 page books. Some reprint Dell Giants, others are compilations of other Dell material Mobil giveaways (24 issues) - given away in 1964 at petrol/gas stations in Australia (there is also a series from New Zealand) One shots (? issues) - issues that pre-date or sit outside of established series One Shot series OS (65 issues) - most of these reprint parts of Dell Four Color issues Vacation Parade VP (7 issues)
  7. I just bought a small collection of Australian Disneys, which included a few 'Australian Four Colors'. Here's some from the Film Preview series, with the original photo covers replaced - presumably by locally sourced art or adaprted from interior panels.

  11. I'm pretty sure I'd be happy to own any printing. For me a less than 30 day difference when it's 31,000 days since the book came out is pretty insignificant. It's not like the later printing was from a new set of plates three years later.
  12. I think there are quite a few. I'd add: Don Rosa Don and Maggie Thompson
  13. 10/10 for the clarity of that image though! It makes it really easy to see that it's nowhere near the stated grade.
  14. I kinda like that Fly cover, and I agree that the GL covers are bland/boring rather than horrible. This thread certainly has many worse ones!
  15. Australia was a solid market for Disney comics for many years, and the local industry reprinted many issues here until imports replaced them in 1978. Many reprinted Dell/Gold Key comics from the US, but there are also lots of European stories from the 1960s and 1970s. Over the years there were lots of one-offs and specials, but the main series were: Donald Duck (2 series - D.D.# and later D.#) Film Preview (FP.# - the movie adapations Giant Series (G.# - sort of like Dell's Four Color series) Jumbo Series (like the Dell Giants J.#) Mickey Mouse (M.M.# and later M.#) Walt Disney Comics and Stories (No.#) Images of almost all of the 2,200 comics (!) can be found on the Ausreprints site as well, but I thought some bigger scans of the ones I have might be nice to have on the web as well. This is the first volume of Australian Disneys I will post in the Gallery. It entirely consists of comics from the Giant (G) Series, which was sort of like the Dell Four Color seriesof one-shots, with a wide range of titles within it. There were 698 issues in total, numbered G1 to G699 (G95 does not exist).
