Went to a yard sale Saturday of a guy saying he had bandes dessinées. What he meant was actually "comics", and I bought everything he had without really looking for 5$. I got Action Comics, Vol. 1 391 Action Comics, Vol. 1 399 The Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 1 95 Archie 170 Archie 192 Archie 218 Archie and Me 37 Archie and Me 45 Archie's Joke Book 136 Archie's Joke Book 142 Archie's Joke Book 165 Archie's Pals 'n' Gals 24 Archie's Pals 'n' Gals 62 Astonishing Tales, Vol. 1 4 Batman, Vol. 1 234 Betty and Me 37 Betty and Me 38 The Brave and the Bold, Vol. 1 102 Daredevil, Vol. 1 75 Date With Debbi 8 Detective Comics, Vol. 1 396 Detective Comics, Vol. 1 409 Detective Comics, Vol. 1 415 Everything's Archie 16 Fantastic Four, Vol. 1 111 Josie & the Pussycats 48 Jughead, Vol. 1 197 Laugh, Vol. 1 205 Laugh, Vol. 1 231 Laugh, Vol. 1 248 Life with Archie 100 Little Dot, Vol. 1 129 Mad House Glads 74 Pep Comics 262 Reggie and Me 50 Superboy, Vol. 1 173 Superman, Vol. 1 229 World's Finest Comics 169 plus a few Gold Key Donald Duck, some Treasure Chest (never heard of that book before) and about a dozen mad magazine. The books are in really bad shape though. A lot of covers detached,stamp of the psy it belonged to on first page, the spider-man cover doesn't have Spidey on it (It was cut-out). Still,for 5$, happy about this! Even beat up, that's a lot of good reading. Wish I'd run across a deal like that. Enjoy!

some Treasure Chest (never heard of that book before) Congratulations on finding such a great selection of old comics for a low price! Treasure Chest is a different kind of American comic book. Wikipedia describes it well: " Treasure Chest (full name for most of its run: Treasure Chest of Fun & Fact) was a Catholic-oriented comic book series created by Dayton, Ohio publisher George A. Pflaum and distributed in parochial schools from 1946 to 1972." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Chest_%28comics%29They had some really good artists working for them - Reed Crandall, Joe Sinnott, Murphy Anderson, Jim Mooney, Graham Ingels, Joe Orlando, Bob Powell and Bernard Baily all drew for Treasure Chest.

...World's Finest Comics 169... Oh man, this is one of my all-time favorite Silver Age comics (hope the Swan cover's intact), with guest-stars Batgirl and Supergirl. You really came away with some great comics there, antoine!

Picked up a super nice copy of this off Ebay for $11. Father's Day is approaching and I recall my Dad saying he had a couple of these issues as a kid so I thought a little nostalgia wouldn't hurt. And picked this up for myself. Just had to have it, being such an oddball cross over.

You really came away with some great comics there, antoine! Yes, this cover is in not too bad shape (at least it's complete!) I'm pretty happy about this lot, I just wished the covers were in better shape as it's by far my favorite part about Golden/Silver age comics. I'll read it as soon as I can! Wish I had more time to read, with a young baby at home, trying to sell my house AND buy another one, I don't have a ton of time to myself! EDIT : I got it all mixed-up! WFC 169 doesn't have a cover at all I was thinking about the brave and the bold 102... I'm not really familiar with dc teams book (or DC at all I should say!), so I switch them in my head). EDIT #2 : At least the back cover is there!

Just read it (WFC #169), it was good, but nothing exceptional. I almost preferred the back-up story. I don'T know a lot about Dc Comics, or silver age in general, but am I wrong thinking that comics from the late 60's were a LOT "goofier" at DC than at Marvel?

You're not wrong, Silver Age DC was indeed goofier than Marvel, but that's part of the charm.

Exhibit A, the cover in question...

^ When did that school yard lyric come about? Obviously some witty child/teen out there deserves credit for it...

If memory serves, it was in the very first episode of the Simpsons, which was a Christmas episode. I always assumed the writer for that episode came up with it. The second time I heard it was in one of the early BTAS episodes, with the Joker singing it while escaping Arkham Asylum on a giant Christmas tree rocket.

I remember singing that as a kid, circa the mid 70's.
