  1. Ok. That's it for Atlas. 2 really impossible war books coming up.
  2. War Adventures 9 4.0 $75 Infamous Heath cover with the gruesome broken neck. This one looks great, but has some faint staining. I tried to get a transverse picture to show that.
  3. War Adventures 4 7.5 Cr/OW $225 Really nice copy of an early Heath cover.
  4. Spy Cases 12 5.0 light water stain bottom cover. $25
  5. Navy Tales 1 7.0 $195 This was sold to me as the River City copy and I have no reason to doubt that, but it has no cert nor code. It's a 9.0-9.2 with some creasing at the top corner that would improve with a press, but I doubt would eliminate. Also a few pre marvel chips there. Gorgeous book nonetheless. I took a pic showing the wear as poorly as I could make it look. As you can see in the main pic it's pretty unobtrusive.
  6. Navy Combat 8 4.0 $25 I missed the 1.5 inch tear when I bought this one Everett water cover that looks like Kirby.
  7. Navy Action 17 7.5 $125 Another Everett water cover, this one more in his late 50s hyper realistic style. Interior stories by Colan, Baily (sharp art), and Drucker. Great issue! Tiny corner off back cover.
  8. Men's Adventures 14 5.0 $75 Just a wonderful Everett water cover. He did maybe 8-10 Atlas war covers and most were water related. This one is in his precode style where he was a bit more cartoony, my favorite of his periods. Really difficult book to find on any reasonable shape. This one presents nicely.
  9. Man 15 5.5 $95 General wear. No big flaws. Heath with some Burgos added in. Sometimes Atlas had Burgos fine tune any covers that wouldn't pass the code. This is obviously for another reason since this is precode, but there are a few cases with Burgos and Heath. In this case it works really well.
  10. Combat Kelly 3 7.0 $75 Front cover is 8.5, back cover has some light abrasion to the edge. I think 7.0 is fair.
  11. Combat Casey 34 7.0 OW $75 Another structurally HG copy that has wear on the overhang keeping it down. There's minor writing on the top of the back cover.
  12. Combat Casey 31 7.0 Cr/OW $75 HG other than the scuff at the spine.
  13. Combat Casey 23 7.0 OWW $125 Great looking copy. Would press higher. I remember hemming and hawing over an 8.5 at $125 because I had this copy. I wish I would have bit. That's a $350 book now.
  14. Combat 9 6.0 OWW $150 I really want to grade this one higher. What a great cover! Packed with detail. 1/3 inch very clean split at the top, 1/3 clean tear at the bottom of the front cover. High grade appeal with great paper.
  15. Combat 7 6.5 OW $225 Great cover. I just paid WAY more to upgrade, so this is - relatively - a fantastic deal. Solid book. Light overall wear.
