HEY! KIDS! COMICS! : Floyd Gottfredson’s Mickey Mouse in The Gypsies at Rodney Bowcock’s Comics and Stories : October 29th, 2008

STWALLSKULL'S HEY! KIDS! COMICS!

I haven’t had any time to blog lately, so boy did this list get out of control… way too many treasures to feature this time around (including a ton of Herriman, and even a Segar Herriman parody), so I’ll just feature one of them.

TODAY’S FEATURED ITEM:

Rodney Bowcock’s Comics and Stories brings you the Mickey Mouse comic strip adventure The Gypsies by Floyd Gottfredson (inked by Al Taliaferro) from 1931… with that scoundrel Walt Disney taking all the credit, as usual. Apparently, this one has never been reprinted in the US. Part one here, part two here. He thinks it will be presented on his site in a total of five parts.

HEY! KIDS! COMICS! : Chick’s First Bite, Arctic Explorer Comics, King Kong in Mad Magazine : October 15th, 2008

STWALLSKULL'S HEY! KIDS! COMICS!

TODAY’S FEATURED ITEMS:

The Nedor-A-Day blog brings us Lincoln Ellsworth: Hero of the Poles! from It Really Happened #11. I link to it not because it is a particularly great comic, but because it causes me to go on a tangent imagining an alternate reality where instead of cowboy genre comics in the forties and fifties, the newsstands were filled with arctic explorer genre comics. Such is the sort of random and frivolous qualifier that will sometimes make a comic a featured item on this blog. Let the reader beware. Click the below image to read the comic.

A new Jack Chick comic is always a cause for celebration… or damnation! Mr. Chick continues his quest to save our souls with the healing powers of hatred, fear, paranoia and intolerance. This is a particularly bizarre one featuring vampires, just in time for Halloween. And as much as I like the work of Mr. Chick’s assistant (whose name I can’t recall right now), I MUCH prefer Chick’s own cartoony style, featured in this tract. Note that Mr. Chick’s All Tract Assortment has been the best bang for your buck in mini-comics for many, many years.

Finally, Gorilla Men brings us a collection of hilarious Don Martin and Sergio Aragones King Kong comics from Mad Magazine.
