Wow - great Everett art! Thanks for taking the time to post the complete interior - very interesting stuff. I'd forgotten that it was small size, like some of the Centaurs.

Can't complain, because I have picked up a few Centaurs recently, so here's a couple.

Tough to find! Oddly, this is the 2nd copy to pop up on ebay in a month. Rarely see either issue of this title. I suspect I was one of the losing bidders. Congrats, it looks like a really nice copy.

Seemed to recall reading about limited German American internment (was a big WW 2 buff a long time ago), but was surprised to learn about Italian American internment too! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_American_internment Interesting cover - always enjoy the covers that actually make reference to real people/events/places. Actually, surprised an Okajima book hasn't been posted yet. This is not a Japanese war cover, but only one I could find. A really interesting piece of history - wonder if this came from Tule Lake? Here's a closeup of writing - used Picasa to try to make it a little clearer; "Okajima 3-29-44 2T"

Actually, I believe there were internment camps for German Americans during WWII. Like the Japanese Americans, even some US citizens were interned. But the number of German Americans interned was a small fraction of the number of Japanese Americans. Still, the Japanese were depicted much differently than Germans. I suspect the attack on Pearl Harbor had a lot to do with it, and the government's internment of so many Japanese Americans as enemy aliens didn't help. Comic covers reflected that (I know it's already been posted, but I like the cover). Though Fiction House covers tended not to depict the racial stereotypes that most other publlishers did, I think they still were more than able to get their feelings towards the Japanese across!

Already posted in another thread, but figured worth posting again! Fortunately, the Death Drill wasn't effective as the Nazis had hoped!

ZOWIE! nice copy! It is - mixture of horror and Hilter! Actually, I used to own that copy a long time ago. Now I'm wondering why I ever let it go! Not quite up to the level of Mystic, but here's one.

Great books - that old funny book smell is priceless. Congrats!

I'd say you did very well! The cover is really clean - good colors, no tanning - and pages are very nice. All that and well under guide!

Thanks. The More Fun MHs are so nice. Always dreamed one day of owning one or two - hasn't happen yet. I remember when Mark Wilson was selling the pre hero set of More Funs MHs (#14-51 with a couple missing) - dreamed of calling him and saying !

Very nice! Just posted my "Keiser" copy on another thread - for a "lazy" cover, it sure has a lot going on! This copy looks like it just came off the newstand!

RHG, you are absolutely correct. Actually, CGC is my source, since it attributes the cover to Flessel on the label. To be honest, I was suspicious too, it just didn't look like his work and I believe almost all his covers are signed. Both Gerber and OPG correctly list it as Guardineer. Okay, now I've got to correct the situation and post a real Flessel cover!

Very cool book! I gotta get me a copy of this issue one day. I have been enjoying some scuba diving this summer. Also, Flessel covers rock! Thank you! It´s going to be ifficult and take some time, but I wish you good luck with your search (thumbs u That is one cool cover and one very tough book to find in any grade!

Just read through the whole thread - very cool! And there's a lot of very cool and rare covers included. The high grade copies, like Mile High, are amazing. I especially like the early DC covers by Flessel, Guardineer and O'Mealia. These guys were true pioneers and really put a lot of effort into the art and layout. Just fun stuff. Thought I'd add one I hadn't yet seen in the thread.

It's been awhile since I've picked up anything new, but have gotten the bug again. Will try to focus on Centaurs - as you can see the board has been very helpful!
