 Okay, just earlier today I had a lucky find or earlier today on the day I'm recording this. I'll be uploading this probably a week later. I had this lucky find while I was at the comic shop. I was at Cloud9 Comics in Portland and I was looking for some back issues of the comics I liked from that last comic book roundup review. I was especially looking for Hillbilly. I didn't find any Hillbilly comics but I did find this next issue of Reborn because I liked that one issue that I had. I'll keep looking for Hillbilly. But then they had some Golden Age stuff in a box on the counter and I saw this Superdup comic. I don't know if I ever knew that there was a Superdup series. I remember long before I began a comic book collector in the early 70s, I would buy the occasional superhero comic book just to read in the car while we were driving somewhere or whatever. But my sisters would always buy the Archie comics, the little digests. And they always contained these little one-off comic strips like little jinx and also Superduck. And I remember liking Superduck. He's not a superhero. He doesn't have any superpowers even though he's called the cock-eyed wonder here. He's just a funny animal character. He wears leaderhosen. I do remember that about him. And wow, this looks right out of a Disney rip-off. In fact, it is a Disney rip-off, good Lord. But this is Archie as you can see in early Archie comics. I haven't opened this yet. Let's see what year this is from. It's a 10-cent book. So it has to be early 60s. This is issue number 31, April 10 cents. And I like that title. The other thing I was going to say about Superduck was that the comic book that turned me into a collector, in 1977, right after I saw Star Wars, I picked up issue number 15 of Howard the Duck at a local drug store. And I remember, I don't remember exactly what I was thinking, but I remember equating Howard the Duck somehow with Superduck. And it must have been because of this logo. If I were, let me put this logo here next to the Howard the Duck logo. I'll put it over there on the left. See, from across the room, or from across the aisle at the drug store, this must have looked like the same thing. That must have been what caught my attention. And Howard the Duck taught me everything I know. Okay, Superduck. Let's see what April 1950. Yeah, April 1950, volume one number 31. This is a lot older than I was expecting. Wow. It says a relative surprise, Harry Shorten editor. Does it list the artist? No. I'm wondering who the artist was. I was looking for a credit on the interior, but here's his here's his signature. I'll have to look up Superduck and see who the artist was on here because I can't read that. I doubt you can either. And look, this is pre pre comics code. And yet it's approved reading. I wonder who was doing the approving. I think I can see why as a kid I liked the Superduck strips in the Archie Digest. Look at this art has a lot of emotion to it, a lot of animation, a real classic look to it. But yeah, this looks like Archie comics trying to get a piece of Donald Duck action here. Because aside from the shoes and the shorts, this looks an awful lot like Donald Duck. I'm gonna have to actually read these. I can't stop and actually read it right now, but there's these. They've got these sexy anthropomorphic animal women here. They're everywhere. Katie King necktie. Wow. I don't think I'll thumb all the way through it. Okay, the interior pages are loose. It doesn't look like there's anything missing though. Yeah, I'm gonna enjoy reading this and studying the art closer. Do I see the name Agnes Moorhead here? I do. One thing that I never did all the years that I collected comics, I never read the letters pages. I didn't care what other people, other readers had to say about the comics. But maybe I should read these old letters pages. There's an Agnes Moorhead reference here. And of course there's the traditional Daisy Red Ryder air rifle ad on the back. Be a cowboy. You shoot your eye out kid. All right, there we go. A happy accidental find. Super Duck. It turns out the Super Duck was originally a Superman parody. Look at this weirdness. Weird art and bad attempts at humor. How did I go all these decades and never see this? Please remember to press that like button. It helps my videos get seen.
