May-June 1943 Our Gang Comics #5 Partial Photo Back Cover Buckwheat CGC 6.5

Description: This is for an original 1943 May-June issue of Our Gang Comics #5 with an interesting partial photo back cover published by Dell Publishing. The book has been graded and slabbed by CGC as 6.5 with off white pages.and only two other books grading higher. These were great books in the 1940’s as you not only got more bang for your buck, but sometimes you would get twice the number of pages regular books had for the same dime. In this book you have a whopping 68 pages featuring Barney Bear, Tom and Jerry, Our Gang characters drawn by one of comics greatest artists in Walt Kelly and one of the first combinations of combining comic art with real photographs on the back cover. The interesting combo just happens to feature a photo of the actual Our Gang stars Happy, Janet, Mickey and Froggy all tugging at Buckwheat who is up in a cartoon tree against a backdrop of cartoon characters and artwork. Ask yourself how many 1943 comics are out there that can grade a 6.5? Then add Walt Kelly art and the Our Gang characters? Sprinkle in Barney Bear along with one of the first appearances of Tom and Jerry? And finally, an actual photo of Buckwheat in a tree with Barney Bear? Maybe a handful. This one is the third highest graded and is noted on the flip as having a partial photo back cover. Start adding “Photo of Buckwheat” on these books and watch the prices soar.
