A Hardcover Bound Volume of Original Vintage Comic Books (measures 7 1/2" x 10 1/4" [19 x 26 cm]) (Learn More) Roy Rogers (born Leonard Slye, often referred to as the "King of the Cowboys") is considered one of the all-time top singing cowboy western actors (he started in movies in the 1930s and worked in film until the 1950s, often with The Sons of the Pioneers, and comedy sidekicks including Gabby Hayes and Andy Devine; in 1951, he transitioned to television and had a very successful TV show for six seasons) and was nearly always accompanied by his equally famous horse, Trigger. He had many female co-stars until he starred with Dale Evans, and they married, and remained married for over 50 years! He passed away in 1998 at the age of 86. Important Added Info: Note that this is a bound volume of six Roy Rogers Comics published by Dell Publishing in 1948 (#7 through #12). Where did this bound volume come from? Apparently, someone at the company had bound volumes like these created, likely soon after the comics were published (this bound volume has the names of the individual comics contained within printed in bold on the spine of the bound volume). This bound volume has six comics in it. It is one of three bound volumes of comic books we are currently auctioning, all from the same consignor. He obtained these many decades ago when Dell Publishing was doing some "house cleaning"! The comic books are extremely fragile and darkened around the edges. The covers are not quite as fragile, because they were printed on better paper. 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. Note: We have 13 images of the comic books in this set, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 13 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 3. Condition: good. The bound volume surely originally contained comic books in excellent condition, but due to how they were stored, they are fragile and brown around the edges, and the last few pages have some stains around the edges. The covers are not nearly as fragile, because they were printed on better paper. Look closely at our images before bidding on this bound volume of very rare comic books.
