dikran Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Tried searching but info is pretty scarce, does anyone know the Scrooge appearances in Four Color between 178 and 386? I’m pretty new to GA collecting and am trying to put together a Scrooge by Barks run. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the next one was 189; The Old Castle's Secret which is perhaps one of the best of these early Four Color tales featuring Scrooge. Another great one is 238; Voodoo Hoodoo which centers around Scrooge's early days and how they impact Donald.

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Another great one involving Scrooge is Christmas for Shacktown, FC #367. This is another fantastic and heart warming story where Scrooge learns the value of toys!! And while not a Four Color Christmas Parade #1 features another great tale with some early Scrooge action!

Robot Man Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Maybe the wrong place or time but since there are a lot of Scrooge fans looking at this, I thought I'd ask... I picked up this cool squeeker toy many years ago. One thing that intregued me was the marking on the back that said "Dell". Not sure if a store item or was offered by Dell as a premium or mail away item in the Disney comics. Anybody ever see it advertised as such or know anything about it? ender, Hutch88, path4play and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, you always come up with the most amazing stuff. I don't recall ever seeing that advertised and I don't recall ever seeing one before. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a subscription promo though as they always seemed to offer something to get your $1. for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC ed Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 5 hours ago, Robot Man said: Anybody ever see it advertised as such or know anything about it? In Don Rosa's "House Tour, Part 1" video on youtube (link to follow), Don specifically mentions this as "the only real Uncle Scrooge toy ever made," because it's the only one that was actually produced by Dell Comics (who created Uncle Scrooge) Go to the 13:35 mark in this video and watch until 14:20 : Hutch88, AJD and Badger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Thanks Ed. I guess that answers my questions. I don't know how much it's worth, but I bought it because I liked it and as I said, it says "Dell" on it. Man, that studio is packed! A perfect example of hoarding. I have always, forced myself only to collect what I really like the most. I have people who used to give me stuff but I told them not to because I don't want my house to look like that. But, to each his own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

path4play Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 These seem to be pretty common, and universally sell under OPG. Not only is it a great story, but when I was a kid in the mid-seventies this was the "most valuable" book per OPG in my collection that I pulled out of my 'ole man's collection at grandma's house. Like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person when I reached the age of sex, drugs and rock and roll I sold my collection. Nevertheless, bought this copy for probably less than the mid-seventies value to reminisce when I got back into the hobby a few years ago.

Why did I think it was the "first appearance of Uncle Scrooge"? Was OPG wrong, or my memory shot, or I was just a young goofed up kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
