Donald Duck Promotional Comics Bound Volume (Dell, 1943-51) Condition: Average VG/FN.
<B>Donald Duck Promotional Comics Bound Volume (Dell, 1943-51) Condition: Average VG/FN.</B></I> Hold on to your hats, Duck fans! This incredible leather-bound volume contains a real treasure trove! Throughout the 1940s, and into the 50s, Western Publishing (aka Dell Comics) printed giveaway comics for a number of different companies. Chief among them was the series of Christmas books produced for Firestone, <B>Donald and Mickey Merry Christmas</B></I>, featuring the famous Walt Disney characters. They were produced from 1943 until 1949, and each issue included a new Donald story written and drawn by Carl Barks (with the exception of the first two, which contained Barks' Duck tales reprinted from <B>Walt Disney's Comics and Stories</B></I>). All seven books are here, as well as the first five issues of <B>March of Comics</B></I> (a shoe store monthly giveaway series) featuring Donald Duck. This includes the famous three issues (#nn (#4), #20, and #41) by Carl Barks. Most of the books appear to be in the VG/FN range; a few may have minor problems, such as tape on one page, a small corner missing, etc. Overall, this is a nice, readable bound volume, privately produced for a fan, of some of the rarest, most sought-after comics by Barks, with many unreprinted stories. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
