Default 3RD ROUND of SCANS (DEMPSEY's, etc.)...

Others to come after a break from scanning and getting back to the Review...

Rose Marie #65 : Sweden, Dempsey
Romeo Y Juleta #28 : Dempsey
Aguilitas #785: Dempsey
circa 1931: Sweden, "Dreck Mazetti" (green tint) Dempsey
circa 1932: Sweden, "Dreck Mazetti" (b/w) Dempsey - var.
1961: Sweden, "Kalendarium-Bild #309/61 Ingo Johansson & Dempsey
1955: Sweden, "Fantomen" (The Phantom Comics)
"Ringens Mastare" (Ring Masters) #6 Dempsey
Other Ring Masters: Louis; Walcott, from amongst the singles collection

I have some full comic issues with their back-cover cards intact; 2 shown. The series ran for a number of years; its checklist is quite deep. Some singles I've seen existed with 2-holes punched along the left side border by their original collector, obviously to put them in some binder--but nothing points to any official binder having been produced specifically for this series.

As illustrated by the Louis, below, due to the way they were originally laid out then printed in the comic, singles could not possibly be uniformly cut in regards to their width. Overall sizes vary in general due to individual person's hand cuttings.

In 1955 issues, there was a strip inclusion called "Knockout Charlie" whose main character's looks were a close "knockoff" of our own Joe Palooka. Later in 1956 years' issues "Charlie" must have literally gotten "Knocked Out" and he was replaced with a "Joe Palooka" strip...exactly our all-American Joe, but with Swedish language text balloons.

I'll look for the file document that has the entire 'Ring Masters' checklist and post it for those who may be interested.
