I think there were several Nedor issues, four colors and platinum series starring Jiggs and Maggie.

 

I don't know if Nedor had one or if they did, I didn't realize it but Standard did.

I received the second volume of the collected Bringing up Father from IDW (?) yesterday. Wish I had more time to read ...

Mac Raboy did a great job on Flash. He was the artist working on the strip when I was young. I didn't know about Raymond until many years later.

 

Thanks for posting these Raboy Flash. :thumbsup: I only have the Dark Horse reprints in B&W so I have never seen these in color.

Nedor publishing was a subset of Standard so I guess I was technically wrong but I tend to use those company names interchangeably (Nedor/Standard/Better). ACG gets a different designation due to the silver age connection. I'll have to read Vance's book again..

You can see the art deco influence in black and white while reading this early book of McManus cartoons.

There were at least 2 4-colors, including one from the first series; about a dozen Standards and another 6 or 7 Harvey issues.

Prior to that, there was 24 Cupples & Leon issues (not 26 as listed in Overstreet), and 2 hardbound rebinds like the one pictured... and a couple earlier, scarcer rectangular books.

quote=BB-Gun]I like the tabloid size Spirit mags and Superman tabloid size Sunday pages.

 

I am especially fond of the giant robot story that was featured on the cover of Action 36 but can only be found in the funny pages.

I like those Black Fury pages. I have a reprint book with some of those strips< I think. I also picked up a comic.
