    I have always thought the America's Best cover was an anniversary cover that resembles one of Schomburg's earliest covers. At least the bearded swamis are similar.

    Thanks to Mr. Phillips for posting this photo a while back. This work by Alex reminds me of Dali.

    I think this pop-up page is from an early Mickey Mouse book which was reprinted in a large book about Mickey. I have a dozen or two giveaway comics from Wheaties and Cheerios. They have several Mickey and Donald stories in the set plus many other Disney characters.

    i was pleased by the page quality due to the linen pages. The book was kind of fun too and very popular back in the thirties, I think.

    i have two copies. I think one has a little spine damage but the interior is pretty clean.

    I lurked for a year or two before I joined in 2007. My first post?

    Frazetta published a few other covers and prints that I don't see often. This one has been photo-shopped a little.

    Never cared for the sandwich but loved the strawberry pie.

    you can probably delete this amimated cover if you get dizzy. (Delete) OK I stopped the animation cause it gives me motion sickness.

    I think the Arab raiders were human. By the way, Magic Hourglass was one of the first comics that I read as a youth. I loved it but cut up the cover to see how the animated cover worked.

    I like this scene from the comic. It makes me think of From Russia with Love or "39 Duck Steps".

    I saw this cartoon by Buettner recently and it reminded me of good girl art by Barks.

    Yes, the color scan is the outside back cover. My copy confirms this and the cover is still intact.

    I have low grade copies of both Whiz 25 and Capt. Marvel 18 and neither has been graded. I didn't think lower grades needed grading because they wouldn't get a premium price like the high grade.

    These are from Comic plus. I can make a higher resolution copy of the color back cover but the inside would be difficult due to staple placement.

    Back cover is easy to scan but not sure if I can get a good scan of the inside. One issue has Zoot and the other Rulah (b copy). There is also a Famous Crimes (b copy) instead of Jo Jo. Therefore the content varies a little.

    I have two copies and one of them is the same.

    Does your copy also have a Phantom Lady issue? The western comic seems incomplete in some Almanacs.

    My Contact 12 is just in pieces. Picked two copies up from Captain Blue Hen (Bob Horn)

    I have been very fond of Mac's Dynamic 9 cover since I first saw it in the Gerber guide. It is especially nice to find someone has posted the original art Edit: Mr. Tawky Tawny posted a scan of this art on the first page. My scan has been put through a yellow filter to enhance the contrast.

    I think the DC artists spent some time studying the structure of tanks used in WWII. The movie, Battle of the Bulge, eg., tanks were sometimes inaccurate. For B of the B, the Germans drove M-49 Patton tanks and called them Tigers. I think they had a lot of those tanks available and not so many Tigers which were destroyed by Russian T-34s.

    I dropped out of ROTC and stopped collecting Sgt. Rock at about the same time but I did like that Kubert art. I had an original page from OAAW 149 but gave it away (sold for $20) to Dave Reynolds. My new scanner does a better job picking up the color (HP8020).

    I loved all of those early FF stories and particularly the Annuals.
