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!

Thanks Guys. It looks as if Yoc or Other Eric has already changed/marked it as complete.
Job well done.

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...

[Yoc]

Right, still need those two last Dynamic issues.  Correcting the listing now.

[rangerhouse]

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I know GCD has a cover of 30 and lists 25 with no info but might it not be a proto type or unpublished.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.

[rangerhouse]

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.

[rangerhouse]

 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 !!!
