John, I'll share what I have. Is this wekend early enough? Sadly, I have none of the erliest ones. My selection starts around the 1966 mark and as good as the art is, I think it went 'of the boil' quite soon. In the seventies I far prefer PT Bimbo (and have some more of those as well, but I need toscan and collect them).
Actually, the Sunday started in 1965 and I have found some black and white copies of early Sundays. Turns out my own Sundays (which I can scan in color) don't start until 1968. Since there aren't a lot of stips from that period I like,I don't have many of those. I'll make a mix.
I am slowly selling my comics, cartoon and newspaper collection on Ebay. In short, when I am done scanning them and they are on the blog, I no longer need to keep the original paper. If you want to go and have a look what I have on sale now, please go to http://www.ebay.com/sch/gerapeldoorn/m.html?item=152381924308&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562. Prices are low and I combine for shipping.

I have been doing this blog for over ten years now. I find more and more that it is used by comic book, newspaper strip and cartoon historians as a tool for their research or additional illustrations. And I encourage that. I have larger uncleaned scans for all self scanned images on this blog for those want to use it for their book or article. Just ask and we'll get something going. Family members of artists mentioned here or anyone who is interested in donating scans is encouraged to make contact. By the way, the quickest way to reach me these days is through Facebook.
I highly recommend
Getting any of these wonderful books will help me fund this page.
I am a Dutch television writer, who has written about comics and television for a number of publications here in Holland and in the US. I love hearing from (forgotten) artists and/or their relatives, so if you are one of those and happen upon this blog, please leave a note.

Hey Ger
do you have any color Sunday pages of 60s Wizard of Id?
I can't find any on the web and would love to talk about the strip.
thanks for all the great lost comics!

1966 is good. It's only about 2 years old then, isn't it?
Thanks!
