Hey gang,
lets all give our newest benefactor Phil Barnhart a big thank-you for letting Rangerhouse scan several books from his collection!
Keep watching this topic as his books start to show up on the site.
Thanks to Rangerhouse for reaching out to Phil and getting this all started. There's some exciting books on the horizon.
Stay tuned!

Now uploaded, the first of the Phil Barnhart Collection

Scanner: rangerhouse
Edits: Movielover
From the Phil Barnhart Collection (with much thanks)
Yoc, Geo, you can mark Dynamic as complete.
-
WOW, very nice
Captain Aero
Now
Dynamic
what next..
Thanks Again Phil..... Thanks for sharing.
-
Thanks Guys. It looks as if Yoc or Other Eric has already changed/marked it as complete.
Job well done.
Geo
-
When I first started their was many titles that I said they will probable never be completed.
I see Catman being completed before year end. HOPE..
great job everyone.
-
Well if we're really going to call Dynamic Comics complete, we either need to get 25 and 30, or move the Superior issues elsewhere. But it's great to have as many as we actually do.
-
Thanks a bunch! Another one bites the dust...
-
Right, still need those two last Dynamic issues. Correcting the listing now.
-
Hey Overstreet and Gerber do not have/list issues 25 and 30. Do they really exist?
I know GCD has a cover of 30 and lists 25 with no info but might it not be a proto type or unpublished.
HA.com no record never sold a 25 or 30. (I also see no record of these issues never being sold on ebay)
I say series complete! and remove the 25 and 30
Unless somebody has better info?
-
Keltner's index says:
Note: The existance of an
issue #25 is suspected but
cannot be verified at this
time. Overstreet lists it,
but Gerber’s PHOTO-JOURNAL
does not mention it.
For what another data point is worth, at least. His listing ends at #24. It's unfortunate that he doesn't list the grounds for suspecting it exists.
You know, maybe I'm about to ask an obvious question that everybody knows but me, but a thought crosses my mind and it's very lonely up there. For all the paperwork involved (and the number-shifting and text-pieces done to avoid it all and re-class the comics) in publishing a periodical at the time, is it possible that the Post Office might have records on which books actually existed? Would those records be centralized and/or still exist? I doubt they're computerized, but if they exist at all, they should be fairly conclusive.
-
Doing some looking around, the LOC has the series ending in May 1948 with #25, but I've yet to find an institution that has #25. Aside from GCD, there is no mention of a #30.
As for the post office, not a clue.
-
Ok, my vote is series complete... We will not be able to find the two issues nobody owns...
-
A very warm welcome to Phil and I hope we inspire many others to keep Rangerhouse bush turning our paper into scans. Glad to have some company in making your collection available for DCM. Good to have you here, even if only by proxy.
Peace, Jim (|:{>

I see I forgot to ask before. Is this Phil Barnhart as in the Oregon Congressman? Not that I have more than a neighborly interest in his "true identity," and thanks are clearly due regardless, but his was the only use of the name I spotted on a quick web search.
-
Not that I know, he lives in CA. I won't give up any more info unless he wants to be known.
and since I was the only one that voted, Dynamics is COMPLETE !!!

Next to coming soon from Phil will be Scoop Comics #1 and #3... WOW.. :o
They will go with my Scoop #2 that I'm working on now

Next to coming soon from Phil will be Scoop Comics #1 and #3... WOW.. :o
They will go with my Scoop #2 that I'm working on now
(Besides the Scoop 1 and 3 I asked for Suspense Comics 1-3)
FROM PHIL :
No problem on the Scoops. I have to think about the Suspense issues a bit. My #3 is missing the centerfold story which is apparently very common for that issue. The first few issues of Suspense, Terrific, Catman, and I think even some Capt Aero books all had this weird page count (56 pages). They glued a half folio to the front side of a folio spread on 3 folios for those books. My own theory is that Suspense #3s’ with and without the centerfold story present are both complete issues, some of them just did not get bound with that centerfold story. Either the entire story is missing or it is there. So why don’t we see that with a bunch of other books constructed the same way? When I talked to L.B. Cole about that he expressed surprise, he said why would you even do that? That would just be inefficient and take more money/time for binding each book. I think Suspense #3 is the last book built that way, and this was about the time L.B. Cole became the art director there.
Coincidentally that centerfold story was done by L.B. Cole, 83 Days on a Life Raft. Suspense #3 is April 1944. Cole’s first cover in comics was Terrific #3, May 1944. Suspense #4 is June 1944, also a Cole cover. You may have noticed the odd page count if you scanned any of the early Terrific issues.
I have a document written up that covers the entire Suspense and Terrific runs, page counts, titles of stories, etc… I will provide a copy of that to you.
-
Very interesting read - an I did notice the strange page count in the past and wondered how or why.
I hope he lets us scan them one day.
-
From Phil: I took a look at the Scoop #2 and it has a King Kola add, the x-ray machine version. This is the same add that is on the back cover of Dynamic Comics #3. So if you have the Dynamic #3, then you have a scan of this ad. Guess I should have looked at the inside of the back cover too, you don’t have that I imagine. I brought all my old notes in. I will run them through the scanner here at work and turn them into acrobat files.
I had the entire run of Captain Aero at one time. I was doing some research to write an article about Charles Quinlan for the Comic Book Marketplace, but never got around to completing it before Gary Carter left the magazine. I had shared some information with his son (Quinlan) and wife, and actually sent them a few of the Captain Aero comics, they surprisingly had none of his original art or any of the many published comics. So anyhoo, from #1 through #10 they are all 64 page books. Then with #11 (September 1943) they go to this wonky 56 page book count, this is the weird glued in single page to 4 folios construction/binding method. They stay as 56 page count books until #15 (June 1944) and then they go to 48 page count books.

Thanks for the info Phil, wish you'd join us here!

Hi Gang,
Phil has given permission for us to share his very detailed notes on the Holyoke Suspense and Terrific Comic series.
ATTN Narf and Henry -
This has got a lot of info in this that GCD will especially want to integrate into their records.
It even includes a comment from L.B. Cole himself about his first cover work for the publisher!
For now it's in the Holyoke section but this might change if Phil decides to send more items like this.
Enjoy!
-Yoc
NOTE - this is a PDF document, you will need an app to read it.
-
I got it thanks. With CB+ I don't spend much time on GCD any more but I will try to get info up
-
Thanks Narf. I'm sure if you can't add it to GCD you know who to pass it along to that will.
Some Very informative info here, especially about the odd-ball 56pg issues they did.

Thanks Narf. I'm sure if you can't add it to GCD you know who to pass it along to that will.
Some Very informative info here, especially about the odd-ball 56pg issues they did.
These war-time, non multiple-of-16-page comics were much more common than you're making them out to be, Yoc. Fiction House for one had many such issues. Not really so "odd-ball" at all, but simply a reaction to war-time paper rationing. And I'd have to check my Temersons, which I'm unable to access at this moment, but I believe the method was not to "glue pages to tabs" but to have the "tab" extend over the staple fold so that a book could still be machine collated and stapled. It was VERY unlikely that there was "hand assembling" done. BUT, that is the way it DID work at Fiction House - Temerson might have been different.

Phil is still thinking about the Scoop #2. He could never replace the book, happens to be Overstreet’s copy that he let go. It is it very very nice shape. He will probable be sending Punch Comics 9, 12, and 14-19 via next package.
Thanks RH

RH, would Phil happen to have the missing Famous Funnies between 91 and 103?
I'd love to see the Fearless Flint run completed!
-
I will ask, also YOC I purchase from ebay if I see any near guide prices
-
Thanks very much RH, you've become an integral part of DCM, the JVJ Project and our hobby!
We really are lucky to have people like you and Len on the team.
And as I always say - 'without you scanners out there DCM wouldn't be alive today. Bless you all for your generosity and dedication to our hobby.'
Scanners rock!
:D

Ranger you look for near guide. I look for less than half guide or one or two bucks.

Phil is going to complete DM request to give us all the detail and index Scooop #2 (he will complete after the 18th of July). He has a new box that will ship today. It has;
· Punch #9 & #12
· Keen Detective #20
· Silver Streak nn
· Hit #11
· Blazing #6 (both US & UK)
· Exciting #2 & #5 (#5 missing centerfold)
· Blazing #5
Phil's Notes:
The Blazing #5 appears to be as common as a house fly. You see them for sale all the time. But the vast majority of them are rebound remainder comics. It took a lot of searching to find this one. This one is the real deal, it has a Green Turtle story in it, and it is not a remainder of the first 4 issues either, all new material. So I’m guessing the one you have scanned is probably a remainder of some sort. (looking forward to see if issue DCM has is different from Phil's #5)
THANKS PHIL, great stuff!
-
Wow, sounds very exciting, especially the Blazing 5!
Thanks for the update RH. :)
-
No Ranger Blazing 5 is a great Green Turtle issue of mine. Took some time to get it but I got it and scanned it.

Thanks a bunch!!

This is a nice book, and I enjoyed the Thesson story as well as the early Mask story. Except for the centerfold, the scans are very tasty. It great to see such early work from Better.
