One more Sparkler, thanks primarily to dc++: #66
It was missing the ow & ifc/ibc/bc, so I added those from my copy, but Abnery, Nancy & Tarzy are removed for cb+

[freddyfly]

Tonight, from DC++: All four Dell Fritzi Ritzies (and the last 4 of the entire run) -- #s 56-59 (they need a new section). The last 3 have 4 Peanuts pages removed.

Also, a correction to the Publication History of the Fritzi Ritz (United Features) section is needed.
It currently says only " Dates: 1949 - 1949 "
but, it should say something like:
" Issues: 15 --  Sequence: #3-#7; #27-#36 --  Dates: 1949; 1953-54 "; continues with St. John series (1955) #37-#55

[freddyfly]

Tonight, the first of 3 early incomplete Tip Tops - #23. Abner removed, and the Tarzan pages were cut out anyway.
Also, it's  missing the cover & outer wrap (Capt & Kids pgs 1-2, and Tarzan & an ad at the back) so the fc is from HAG.
I've included tilted pix (from eBay, with fingers) of the back cover plus 2-page spreads of the ifc+page1, and page64+ibc.
_______________
I noticed the improvement in the UFS Fritzi section info, but there are still some problems. It now says:
Issues: 15 |  Sequence: #3 - #36 |  Dates: 1949 - 1954
But, it's a 2-part run: issues 3-7 (1949) and 27-36 (1953-54); the in-between issues are officially titled United Comics and are in a separate section.
So, the info line shoud be:
Issues: 15 |  Sequence: #3-#7; #27-#36 | Dates: 1949; 1953-54

[Or, you could combine the whole run, Fritzi+United, and have:
Issues: 34 |  Sequence: #3 - #36 |  Dates: 1949 - 1954]

Book is approved.

The way the program is set up, you have a start and a finish, it doesn't allow for start, break, skip numbers and start again, then finish

[freddyfly]

Sounds good.
I noticed you slipped in an extra row to accommodate the extra info!

[freddyfly]

Tonight, the second of 3 early incomplete Tip Tops - #24. Abner & Tarzan removed.
Also, it's  missing the cover & THREE outer wraps    (Capt & Kids at the front, and Looy & more at the back).
Fc + bc  from HAG. So all that's left is 46 of 68 pages.

[freddyfly]

And tonight: my last, final & ultimate Tip Top scan: #27! As my description says:
Scanned from a coverless issue also missing 3 outer wraps.
The fc is from HAG; no ifc ,ibc or bc.
This time, both Tarzan and Li'l Abner were part of the outer 3 wraps, so only maybe 2 other pages are missing, and you get 53 of 68 pages.

[freddyfly]

Back to Sparklers!
Tonight, starting a trio of quartets, with the first: #s 61, 62, 64 & 67.
These will All be from the post-Sparkman era, with three removed non-PD strips: Abner, Tarzan & Nancy.
The first 3 are 48-pagers, but the 4th was only 32 pages, so all you get here at CB+ is 10 pages    : a Captain & Kids stroy and 5 filler pages!

Help: I know there's one typo in my description of 61 (& maybe 62): the word 'only' came out something like 'ply'.
And, in the desc of 64 it should say 'only 26 of 48 pages remain, not '33 of 48'.
Thx!

[movielover]

Fixed

[freddyfly]

I dug up an old Ontology scan of Comics on Parade #9 -- it's missing 2 cfs, and Tarz, Nan & Abner are dumped.
I also found I have 2 more CoPs to scan & upload - #17, & 56(all Cap&Kids).

[freddyfly]

Finishing the first half of my dirty-dozen post-Sparkie Sparklers: 69 & 79; the usual suspects are removed.

[freddyfly]

Comics on Parade 17 done!
Aside from the obliterated three non-PDs, only the ifc is missing,

[freddyfly]

Tonight, my next trio of post-Sparkie Sparklers - 73,74,75.!

Apologies... I failed to enter a description for #73; it should say:

" 3 copyrighted strips removed: Li'l Abner, Nancy and Tarzan, so only 31 of 52 pages remain.
A freddyfly original production!  "

Thx!

[freddyfly]

And, at long last, my very final 3 Sparklers - #s 81,82,83 - , with the usual 3 copyrighted strips removed, so only 27 or 28 of 48 pages (plus the covers) remain (Abbie&Slats; Cap & Kids; Hap Hopper; Dink O'Day + ads & fiiller pages).

[freddyfly]

And one last UFS comic before I say goodbye:- a rare ctc issue because it's all Capt & the Kids - Comics on Parade #56!

and Help needed:
I forgot to enter my notes for Sparkler #73; it should say:
"  3 copyrighted strips removed: Li'l Abner, Nancy and Tarzan, so only 31 of 48 pages (plus the cover) remain.
A freddyfly original production!  "

tHX!

[MarkWarner]

Ok I have made that amendment

MANY MANY THANKS!!

[freddyfly]

I spoke too soon. My own UFS scans are done, but i have 5 more UFS 'internet finds', upped tonight:
Okay Comics #1 (all-Cap&Kids; ctc):
United Comics #10 (ctc);

Sparkler Vol1 #1 (all- Jim Hardy; ctc) [note: this is the first of two single-feature 1940 Volume-1 issues; I put it in the Sparkler section, but you might want it in a separate section, or in the one-shots).

And the first two (#s 1 & 2) of a new (for CB+) title: SPARKLE Comics, so you'll need a new section. After SPARKLER went bi-monthly (with #83), the new title appeared in the alternate months. At first, it was 52 pages and featured Ella Cinders along with the UFS regulars (Nancy & Abner omitted, of course), but after a few issues, it became 36 pages, with very little beyond the non-PDs.
(#2 is also missing the ifc,ibc and one internal page)

[freddyfly]

I'm back with a few more Frtizies:
United Comics #21 is done (one Peanuts pg is all that had to be dropped), and a couple of St. John issues (46&49) are on the way, with Nancy & Peanuts dropped.

[freddyfly]

And one more 'internet find' - Tip Top 22, with Abner & Tarzan removed.

[freddyfly]

TWO new TIP TOPs tonight - #s 48 & 49; both: no ifc, ibc or bc, and Tarzan & Abner removed,

[freddyfly]

At long last, after 5 months, a new United Features scan:
United Comics #26...  mainly Fritzi Ritz pages, with a few Abbie an' Slats, and Mamie pages.
For those with allergies, the 2 Peanuts pages are removed (but if you want them, pls contact me preferably through the dcm)

[freddyfly]

Two more PD-only Sparklers tonight - 65 & 90
65 has 3 non-pd's removed, and 90 has 2 but is also missng the cf.

[freddyfly]

One last (for now) Sparkler: #29!
Tarz & Nan removed as always, but also missing 2 cfs with Race Riley & Abbie an' Slats pages, and text-stamps.

A few Tip Tops and a Comics on Parade are in the works.

[freddyfly]

Comic on Parade #23 now up'd!
The usual 3 non-PDs left out: Lord Greystoke, Miss N. Ritz and the young Mr. Yokum. (but they total only 12 pages)

[freddyfly]

Tonight, the first of 3 Tip Tops - #76!
Complete, except for the usual non-PD features Li'l Abner & Nancy (who appears on the bottom half of 6 pages shared with aunt Fritzi, so I cut out the Nancy halves, leaving the Firtzi halves.
