BOOT Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Third Story Splash - If I had to, I would guess this is by Bill Walton but who knows Hey Scrooge! Love love love this thread! I know it's way late, but wanted to say this looks like Rudy Palais. One can tell by the copious sweat and blood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electricmastro Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 On 7/16/2012 at 4:14 PM, Gallifrey-migration said: Just found this thread and its references to '40s Captain Marvel artist Bob Butts, whose post-comics career was unknown. Bob Butts left comics but later published a series of books under the name Robert Butts, co-written with his wife Jane Roberts, that had a huge influence on the New Age spiritual movement in the 1970s. Info can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Roberts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_Material It is in the book "The Magical Approach" that Butts writes about his history illustrating Captain Marvel comics (pp.36,37,39) Robert Butts died on May 26, 2008. http://www.paulhelfrich.com/essays/in-memoriam-robert-f-butts/ Ah, that would be Robert Fabian Butts (1919-2008): https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/72983187/robert-fabian-butts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdMann2 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 When I saw you had posted in this topic I got excited and thought you had finally tracked down a copy of Redskin 8, Scrooge! I have been on the lookout for one for you for years... This is, by far, my favorite topic in the Forums and has been since I stumbled across it over a decade ago (?!?). It was my entry into the whole site as a matter of fact. Tons of great info an good reading here (even if the old pics are missing)....

Scrooge Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 To be fair, I should have posted in this thread that the book was finally located. I posted the story elsewhere but long story short, through the powers of the boards, I was able to recently acquire it steveinthecity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many cited the Synchronic collection article as one of their favorite in the Gary Carter days (it's in # 67 from March 1999). I couldn't agree more as it launched me on my Quest: collecting books on shelves around Four Color 386: Uncle Scrooge, namely March 1952. I gave myself 10 years (I started in July 2001) to finish the collection. As Steve F. would contend, this is not much of a quest as most books are to be found in dealers' inventory. Yet, since I am on a budget, it is still taking time to amass and some (though few) books are not showing up with any regularity. Due to these restraints, I decided that mid- to low-graders will do for my purpose. I plan on putting up a scan a day, in alphabetic order, of those I already have. This should illustrate the diversity of the market at that time period. Here's a snapshot of the task: I counted a total of 420 books fitting my eligibility criteria. Publishers Breakdown: http://boards.collectors-society.com/attachments//728111-Pubs.jpg and Genre Breakdown: http://boards.collectors-society.com/attachments//728111-Genres.jpg I am in awe of some board members' collections and realize this might have limited interested for everyone. Yet, I have found this approach to collecting a wonderful way to discover some less visible aspects of this hobby. In the 229 issues I already have (and 12 more coming in the mail) I also have already identified 113 different artists. Please give me some feedback as to your interest in this.
