Forgive me for my new-found naivety as I'm making up for lost time & catching up on old news, but I happened to run across something on one of the Wacky websites talking about how the 11th series was actually supposed to be the "Wacky Magazine Stickers" series. I vaguely remember seeing the box rough back when I was still in it, and we always knew there was something funny about the 11th. But in the website, it lists all the magazines, including the 13th & 14th titles, and unpublished, then states there must have been 5 more missing titles (which could have come from the series of unpublished "roughs" that have been around for a while.
Actually, though, I've always thought that "Famous Monsters" was definitely part of the magazine set... and the BOOKS. There was no mention of the books, though. Gums, Clodfather... these would have fit in nicely with a magazine set, right? They seem to have the same gag style. So, I just wondered what everyone else thought about that. Those 3 titles would bring it almost to the needed amount.
I'm glad they didn't go the route of doing magazines in the end. It seems like it might have been a nail in Wacky's coffin at the time. Crazy Covers were already out there (and awful), and kids didn't really want to READ that much text on a sticker. We were reading MAD magazine to satisfy our more verbose sense of humor. Wackys were all about the art and the one-liners.
The coolest thing about that article, though, was the post of "Tomb". First time I ever saw that rough. Wish they'd painted that one. We'd all have been fighting over it, I'm sure.
