THE PARK AVENUE COLLECTION 4 4

[Marty Mann]

Always felt the DOLL MAN stories were underrated.

 

[Marty Mann]

One that I haven't looked at for a long time.

 

[Marty Mann]

Ad from the above SUPERMAN #62...how times have changed.

 

[Marty Mann]

One of my  favorite JOKER covers.

Just went back to the beginning of this thread and realized that I was unable to post a single image until page 12 dated January 20, 2013...

when I finally bought a scanner and had it up and running.  First posted image was TERRY-TOONS #38.

 

[Marty Mann]

An almost forgotten title...

One of my last Golden Age comics...bought it at F.W. Woolworth's in the Toy Department.

I didn't clip many coupons from the books in my collection but one I did clip was inside the back cover

of DETECTIVE #135.  I sent for a copy of the DAISY HANDBOOK using the coupon, ten cents and

an unused 3 cent stamp.

It appears that most of the images I posted on this site from my flicker account have been removed.

I will have to re-scan images directly as needed.

Little did I know back in 1945 when I found this issue of DETECTIVE COMICS #104 that 74 years later

I would be buying issue number 1,000 at a store called BARNES & NOBLE.

Couldn’t you have clipped an Archie or Coo Coo?

Great book, MM.

[Marty Mann]

I can relate to every book in my collection but some have a special place...I was so pleased finding this one hanging by a clothespin

on a line in a store window. Up to that time I had never even thought about the people who created the characters in my comics.

I can’t imagine picking that one off the newsstand Marty. You don’t want to know what I paid for mine...

[Marty Mann]

Some of my favorite comics were those that reprinted the Daily and Sunday Comic Strips like ACE COMICS, KING COMICS,

TIP TOP COMICS, SPARKLER COMICS, POPULAR COMICS, SUPER COMICS and COMICS ON PARADE.  These books

gave you an opportunity to follow the past adventures of the characters in the daily newspapers...like PRINCE VALIANT,

THE PHANTOM, TARZAN and LI'L ABNER.

AL CAPP'S LI'L ABNER contained a comic strip-within-a-comic strip with the  parody of D.TRACY..."FEARLESS FOSDICK"

featuring some of the wildest villains in comics...like BOMB-FACE followed by STONE-FACE.
