I cannot locate a version of the captioned comic. My best research shows it published December 1979 though I have seen 1978. Does anyone know where to locate it? I think that I have searched all of the usual places, but just can't pin it down. No site even has a cover scan. thanks. |

thank you, but i had found that listing, but since it does not have the cover or a copy for sale, it does not meet my needs. |

also couldn't find a pic anywhere, yet could of almost all the rest. comics.org says this: "A separate Big Boy series was sponsored by at least three Big Boy franchises: Azar's, JB's, and Shoney's. The cover is co-branded in such a way so it reads like "Adventures of Azar's Big Boy", "Adventures of JB's Big Boy," and "Adventures of Shoney's Big Boy"--indicating at least three possible variations of every issue."
So I looked under Azar's and JB's here and both of those have no pics of #34 either. #36 on JB's has the same cover as #36 of Shoney's, so likely the same value, if that helps, although e*** sold prices are generally higher even for Fines for the 1970's-80 issues. I didn't bother with google searches for the Azar and JB versions, but you might find a pic of #34 using those names. Leave out the Shoney's part. But odd that no one seems to have #34 pics. Wondering if it wasn't actually produced but they kept the numbering going. JB's has a pic of #35, but no Shoney's, or on GCD or MCS. Seeing as how they were made in the late 1970's and the '60s version seem to have pics, you'd think all the '70s ones would too, as by then some people must've been collecting them. Oh well, good luck!

thank you - i appreciate the effort. yes i agree that there are 3 branded versions and hope that i can find the shoney's version. and i agree that a comic so recent as 1970s should be readily available or at least have a picture. maybe it is one of those rarities although your suggestion about a skipped edition can't be discarded either. |

thank you for the excellent scans. i agree about the desirability and high discard rate of this comic book. maybe the rarity will entice more collectors down the road. however, i am still crossing my fingers to find the Shoney november-december 1979 issue 34. it has a christmas theme as i understand. |
