adamstrange Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm in love. I've never seen that cover. Very nice. Wertham could have written a chapter about the interior stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soft-Serve Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Ok, I have to brag a bit. Not everyone's taste, but here is my sole Church book. Funny story: I don't like Westerns as a rule, but I had a decent copy of Trigger #3 in my collection for a long time and actually warmed to it. (I'm very sentimental and reminds me of my Grandmother's love of horses) Anyway, I had sell a bunch of books and, in a moment of weakness, I listed it along with my other westerns. I won't say what it sold for, but I was able to buy this copy for the same exact price! It was meant to be! By the way, those of you who don't know already, Church books are stunning, and this one is freshy-fresh and simply amazing to hold. I'm content now...

Some indication of how popular westerns were in the 1950s that not only did good ol' Roy have a comic, but so did his horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Some indication of how popular westerns were in the 1950s that not only did good ol' Roy have a comic, but so did his horse. Trigger was an amazing horse. A short while later, when Roy Rogers was preparing to make his first movie in a starring role, he was offered a choice of five rented "movie" horses to ride and chose Golden Cloud. Rogers bought him eventually in 1943 and renamed him Trigger for his quickness of both foot and mind. Trigger learned 150 trick cues and could walk 50 feet on his hind legs (according to sources close to Roy Rogers). They were said to have run out of places to cue Trigger.

Talk about an AWESOME day!!! Congrats Gino-that is a sweet book! The colors on the cover are a lot stronger that on other copies I've seen in higher grades. It's sharper than usual for an MLJ cover too. Great acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my iPhone pics though. The Blues are not nearly as navy looking in person for some reason no matter which angle I held the book the Blues kept showing up darker it may have been the time of day I took em and my scanner just slaughters slabs haha!!. it's more of a lighter sky blue. Don't get me wrong though the colors are very nice I like it a TON!! and thanks for the kind words it's a sharp copy!!! A couple dings to the spine/corners and a few small stains and this book might be sitting in a couple point higher slab. Then again if that were case though it wouldn't fit very well into my beater collection and I probably wouldn't have been able to afford it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
