...and not just for answering the age old question: "Who would win in a fight between a goat and a lion?" -
Now we know.
But - Damn. I was wrong, again.
There are five Jimminy and the Magic Book tales in the final issue of More Fun Comics, not four. That means either my story count (and that of the Grand Comics Database) is off by one, or an earlier issue only had one story. But i thought i saw two in each? Was one of the five in the final a reprint? (Nope)
I'll have to go looking for the answer.
At any rate, all three of today's stories come from that final issue - #127.
We go off into three different directions with these tales - Prehistory, Outer Space and the Spirit World. (The other two stories were tall tales & treasure hunting with Captain Burly and an adventure with The Lonesome Wizard, if you was one of them curious types.) As always, Jimminy was written by Jack Mendelsohn with art from Howie Post.
I found the answer to the question posed above: There was only one Jimminy tale in issue #123. So the total story count still stands at 16 Jimminy And The Magic Book adventures.
Here's the cover to #125, from which the Superman/Jimminy pic topping this post was pulled:
The cover on the issue for these stories is an ugly mess. I'll try to clean it up for a later post. (...but it'll take a lot of time with the currently available machine and tools.)
