COMICS WITH PROBLEMS #47- Supplement Item: "Selling GRIT in 1959 and in 1977"

Bit of a fun item here. We were compiling comics related to newspapers for Issue #47 when we picked up what we was assumed to be two issues of the same comic (normally it's a good practice to acquire a copy to scan and another to preserve untouched) A funny surprse when a copy of YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE GRIT arrived with 1959 artwork, and then another arrived with 1977 artwork. And even more amusing when you overlay the two and compare them. So that's what we've decided to do here. You gotta have Grit!

Image below is the 1959 version of the GRIT comic book. Roll your mouse over the image to see the 1977 version of the same comic book. Click either image to proceed to the next page.

Notes: exact pissed off customer in panel one, but they've removed the 1959 comb-over to his hair and vest. A guitar is no longer available as a prize, replaced by darts. Children also can no longer win prison shanks in 1977.
