Auction History Result 6s0463 FOUR COLOR COMICS #495 comic book September 1953 Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge, Carl Barks art! 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! Artist: Carl Barks Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this comic book! Contents: Cover art by Carl Barks. Horseradish Treasure; Scrooge is faced with the loss of his entire fortune to Chisel McSue because, many years before, an ancestor of Scrooge's failed to deliver a case of horseradish to Jamaica, and then failed to give all his property to McSue's ancestor, as provided in a contract; Scrooge can save his fortune only by fulfilling the terms of the original contract, and the ducks set out in a small sailing ship to find the horseradish, which was on a ship that sank in the Caribbean. The Round Money Bin; For safety's sake, Scrooge has his coins changed into greenbacks and stores them in an old water tank, but this fails to stop the Beagle Boys. 36 pages, full color.
