This is a scan to Feature Books #4 featuring Dick Tracy.Has this book ever been reprinted? Does this look like a reprint?

I don't have any of these nice books, so I only know what it says in OPG. It looks like there are 3 similar books, at least partially reprints. Large Feature NN was the first. It was reprinted as Four Color 1 (first Series). Large Feature 4, which you show, is a reprint of the NN, but with a different cover. Is the second one you show possibly Four Color 1? If so, it's extremely rare and worth big big bucks.

To sweet to be 1939. Likely a 1982 Reprint.
8-1/2" x 11" ?

I think its the back cover mal, not another book.

Yes,the second pic is the back cover.This is the reprint of the first NN book.

If it is a 1982 reprint,who put it out? I couldn't find any info on it being reprinted.

It was on ebay a few days ago and all it said was that it was over-sized and b&w reprint,which would apply to the original Feature Book #4.I was going to pull the trigger and gamble for about $15-20,but my computer froze and delaied my snipe so I missed out.If it's really an original,someone got a killer deal for 10 dollars.

GCD does list the size as a little over 8 x 11 inches.
