Auction History Result 6s0444 FOUR COLOR COMICS #247 comic book September 1949 Flash Gordon underwater by Paul Norris! Date Sold 6/9/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures approximately 7 1/8" x 10 1/4") (Learn More) Four Color Comics (also known as Four Color and Dell Four Color) was a comic book anthology series published by Dell Comics between 1939 and 1962. The title is a reference to the four basic colors used when printing comic books at the time. The first 25 issues are known as "series 1". In mid-1942, the numbering started over again, and "series 2" began. After the first hundred issues of the second series, Dell stopped putting the "Four Color Comics" designation on the books, but they continued the numbering system for twenty years. Four Color published many of the first licensed Disney comics. This entire series has always been very confusing to collectors, because each issue has a different starring character, and the character's name is very large on the cover, and the "Four Color" is very small. We are not sure why Dell thought this system made sense, but they eventually came to their senses and gave characters their own series, beginning with issue #1, which is much better for collectors!

While we gave the comic an overall condition grade (and sometimes describe the defects in words) please rely on the actual images of the comic we provide here to help you decide what YOU think its condition is, and then bid or not bid based on what you are seeing in the images. And if you have ANY doubt as to what the condition of the comic is, or whether you want it in the condition it is is, then please do not bid, as we do not want any retracted bids or returns if at all possible. If in doubt, do not bid!. Condition: fair to good, with old restoration. There was a stain in the top right corner and someone put some touch up paint over it to "restore" it. There are some faint brown stains scattered around the edges, more so on the outer edge of the far right of all pages. Learn More about condition grades
