1989 8-Pg KING FEATURES BROCHURE Comics, Personalities! - eBay (item 310023326245 end time Feb-20-08 20:07:46 PST) This vintage brochure is eight pages advertising every TV personality, TV show, and comic King Features distributed in 1989. It came to us in the mail back then, but we don't remember how or why.
At that time Beetle Bailey was in 1800 papers, Blondie was in 2000, and the Wizard of Id celebrated 25 years and was in 1100 papers. Other pages list columns, puzzles, games and so on.
The stiff, glossy pages are about 8 by 11 inches, colorful and lively with comic characters cavorting everywhere and interacting with each other amid the lists. Fun to see.
It's only 18 years old, yet there have been so many changes in that time. Alex Kotzky and other have died, artists have changed, strips have ended.
Great vintage brochure and King Features memorabilia.

Complete Set Burroughs CHARLTON JUNGLE TALES OF TARZAN! - eBay (item 310020329276 end time Feb-10-08 20:10:11 PST) This complete set of the four unauthorized Charlton Jungle Tales of Tarzan has art mostly by Sam Glanzman. Burroughs, Inc. asked Charlton to cease publishing or there would have been more. The four issues were published in December, 1964, and February, May and July, 1965.
Unlike most of the Tarzan comics, these were direct adaptations from Edgar Rice Burroughs' book of short stories Jungle Tales of Tarzan. Charlton was going to adapt the entire book. The last issue was illustrated by Montes and Bache.
These are unread copies in excellent condition. There is some age darkening on the covers and a minor bit of foxing, particularly on the back cover of the last issue. The covers are crisp and new looking with a few small spine creases from being shifted around in the collection for the last forty-four years. There are one or two dents on the covers in the set from when a newsdealer was handling them when new.
These comics are very collectible and difficult to find in this condition. Judging from guides, the value of this set is at least $150.00.
