Auction History Result 5t0202 BARKER #10 comic book Winter 1948 you're too fat for me, carnival scale art by Nordling! Date Sold 1/16/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures 7 1/4" x 10 1/4" [18 x 26 cm]) (Learn More) The Barker, the pre-code circus clowns comic book series which was published from March 1946 through December 1949. The series was published quarterly after the first issue. Artist: Klaus Nordling Important Added Info: Talk about being politically incorrect! This comic has the "joke" that was likely old in 1948, about a very heavy person standing on a carnival scale, and instead of getting their weight, they get a card that reads "You're too fat for me!" Thankfully, we will never see this kind of public fat shaming again! Contents: Edited by George E. Brenner. Cover by Klaus Nordling. Stories by Klaus Nordling, Gwen Hansen, Paul Gustavson, and Joe Millard. Whimsical circus tales with clowns and other trappings of the big top, including Carnie Calahan as The Barker! Please note that we don't use a "comic guide" grading system, and OUR grading scale is completely different from standard comic book grading. Our "very good" is completely different from a comic book graded "very good". We provide images of the comic book covers, plus 2 interior 2-page spreads, which should allow you to get a sense of the condition of this comic book. This is one of an excellent collection of 138 vintage comic books we were consigned, which we are auctioning in 138 separate auctions. NONE of these comics have any restoration (unless noted in our condition description) and all of them came from a small group of collectors who purchased them mostly when they were first published, and none have been "slabbed" or "graded"! And EVERY one of these 138 comics (including some really excellent ones) start at $1 with truly no reserve. This is the kind of buying opportunity every comic book collector dreams of, and when these auctions close on January 16, every one of these comics will have a new owner! Condition: good. Note that this comic book will be sent to the winning bidder in a brand new Mylite2 protective sleeve and a half-back 100% acid-free backing board. Learn More about condition grades
