    Donald Duck's Atom Bomb Mini Comic (1947) 1 CGC 9.4

    Rarest Cheerios Premium.
    Disney banned book from reprint

    Paper: Off white

    Label #0780785012

    Starts Jan 3

    Donald Duck's Atom Bomb (#Y1 1947) is the rarest of the Cheerios Premiums. Features Carl Barks art. Due to the atomic bomb theme, Disney will never reprint the Atom Bomb story as presented here in the original, non-censored version. Donald had "got a way picked out to make money - and lots of it!" by selling an "atomic hair-grower" at $1.00 per bottle. A cash register and money in a customer's hand is depicted. In the censored version, Donald has "more than money in mind" and gives away free samples of a normal hair-grower. The word "atomic" is removed from the board, but most noticeable are the cash register being replaced for a pyramid of bottles and the people in the queue having combs in their hands instead of dollar bills. Appearances by: Donald Duck, Huey Dewey and Louie, Professor Mollicule, and Professor Sleezy. Cheerios 1947, 32-page, full color, newsprint promotional comic, 6-7/8 x 3-1/8, Issue #Y1. 32 pages.

    Stories and art by Dick Ayers, Fred Ottenheimer, and Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio. Eh! was Charlton's attempt at a one-word-title humor and satire comic, inspired by the success of EC's Mad. A boxing manager needing a new fighter looks for the toughest guy he can find, but they all have some hidden weakness. Hoiman the cab driver faces the strange and dangerous challenges of picking up a day's fares in the city. Eh! does a version of Longfellow's "Paul Revere's Ride," just as Mad did a year later. Spoofs of 1950s advertising, including cigarettes, deodorant ("He smells like a gymnasium!"), and "Cellophane Diapers" - as Alfred E. Neuman would say, "Yecch!" The cover features an unprintable visual pun.
