This is probably my last 2016 pickup. Not an easy book to find by any stretch of the imagination, but I bought a nice one on eBay, traded it, and then lightning struck again and I was lucky enough to find a replacement almost immediately. Also from eBay. The comic gods shined on me that day.

After missing out on a low grade copy, this real nice copy came along just a few days later. Even though it looks like a crazy killer clown, The Crimson Clown is actually an early masked hero that appeared in 18 stories between 1926 and 1944. His creator, Johnston McCulley, also created Zorro.

 

Detective Story Magazine, May 2 1931

Wow that's nice. A classic pulp. My fave CC cover!

 

So cool! I want one now!

This will probably be my last pickup of 2016 (unless someone can find me a cap 2 or 46 :baiting:)

 

Exciting Comics 39, one of the most bizarre nazi covers, and a schomburg classic that blew up in recent years.

Thanks Gentleman!! May 2017 be full of joy and EXTREMELY prosperous to all of ya!!

 

and RM... I have my eyes set on a few DCs mainly the large logo's and some of the More Funs will definitely be in the mix. I haven't been shy about what my focus has been the last few years with the more off beat publishers being in the forefront but the mainstream stuff was never lost on me I really enjoy them as well. I will still be chasing the Publishers of yesteryear but would like to broaden the horizon a bit again. I have only ever owned one other More Fun besides for a raggedy front cover to #54 and it was a #77 that I had picked up from a GREAT boardie that I have since parted with to another GREAT boardie...

I saw he had a WTB for the issue and I had enjoyed it so I figured, "hey, why not make someone's day and fulfill a WTB and I can just upgrade mine sooner than later!!" Well it seems these issues are not nearly as common as I thought they would be because I hardly ever see them for sale and when I do they certainly dont go on the cheap side!! Cool books for sure I would own em all if I could!! then again thats probably part of the allure is that I know I can't so gotta be picky.

 

Thanks again gents it was a stellar year no doubt!!!
