Yosemite Sam Comic Appraisal

Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny Comic Book - Gold Key Issues No. 39

This is a vintage American comic book published by Gold Key featuring the Warner Bros. characters Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny. The cover art displays Bugs Bunny blowing a large pink bubble gum bubble while wearing a cowboy hat and holster, as a frustrated Yosemite Sam attempts to draw his pistols. The publication features the Gold Key logo in the top left corner with the numbering '30263-607' and an original retail price of 25 cents. Based on the pricing and branding, this issue likely dates to July 1976. The cover is printed on standard semi-gloss stock with a vibrant yellow background and high-saturation colors including blue, orange, and green. Regarding condition, the item shows visible signs of aging and wear consistent with a mid-grade vintage comic. Notable issues include spine stress lines (color-breaking ticks), rounding and fraying at the corners, and slight edge wear along the left vertical spine. There appears to be some minor surface scuffing and small indentations on the cover. The paper likely exhibits mild yellowing or tanning due to the age of the newsprint interior. The registration of the printing remains clear, and the overall structural integrity seems intact without major tears or missing pieces visible on the front. No visible signatures or stamps are present on the exterior cover.
