I was inspired by shiverbones to purchase this.

 

Holiday Comics #7, Animal on Parade

 

 

For me, this is an unusual purchase. I don't collect funny animals nor do I have anything to do with westerns, much less rodeos.

 

I liked the busy & colorful cover. I wouldn't have paid any notice if it hadn't been for the wonderfully playful covers of shiverbones

 

THX.

 

L.B. Cole was the tipping ingredient.

 

An aside: Someone from Emigre magazine should pick up on these types of lettering and develop/kern a font to sell to some of these ignorant,

(by that I mean unknowing) masses of modern magazine art editors.

 

 

These kinds of typography are straight out of those "Trademarks of the 30's & 40's" and "Trademarks of the 50's & 60's" books.

 

Collect & collate the data, write the book, tweak it, write the code, copyright it and you've got an ebay perpetual motion money machine.

Who needs a publisher? Just post the money to your bank account - ad infinitum.

I'm very happy to have found this one. Always liked this Catman cover.

Anyone have a scan of MASK #2? I wanted to show someone what it looks like and my copy is missing a piece of the lower left corner. I'm shocked that there isn't one posted here!

 

On a happy note...

 

This week I've picked up:

 

- Mask 1

- True to LIfe Romances # 17 & #19!

 

I was on a Cole "hold" for a while, but now I'm back baby!!!

Thanks man!

This post just caught my eye.

 

Those two splashes are identical to the first and second stories in Frisky Fables 4, Sep 1948, which I just bought a few days ago. (A beater copy)

 

 

 

I wonder whether the whole book is cover-to-cover reprint. What's the date of this Holiday Comics issue?

Always loved this cover...It is a classic... (thumbs u

[Jayman]

I think what makes this cover stand out as a better than average LB Cole, is that look of disdain that he captured on the devil's face! (thumbs u
