  1. Enemy Ace: War Idyll was pretty intense IIRC, probably file that under Vertigo.
  2. I don't have anything you'd want... That's a SWEET Mens Advs! Took me quite a while to find a decent copy of that one. And I LOVE that cover. Dan, I can think of one book for sure I would love to take off your hands for a price of course. I love this cover and I borrowed the scan when you originally posted this Beauty. I would love to see your Atlas collection. I've heard from a few war collectors that they're on the hunt for more of these classic Atlas War books or wished they purchased a bunch when they were more plentiful in higher grades for better prices. DC War is still my first love and these Atlas books are a close second. One day you'll get sick of that Navy Action 2 and you know how to reach me. Does anyone know how big some of these print runs were on these Atlas War books because finding any in VF or better is pretty tough IMO. EDIT: Hey this was my 3000th post and I thought I read in the forum rules somewhere that a seller has to grant one wish to another forum member when they hit that magic number. No one else likes Atlas. No one. It's a lost cause. Nobody should be buying them.

  4. People used to look at me like I was nuts, but now I see more and more guys wiping their fingers before handling a raw book (and it's a prerequisite to handling any of my books, as well). I wipe mine under the seat while I'm driving...
  5. I can't say pricewise, but I'd pay a whole lot for this piece if it ever became available.
  6. Funny, I'm reading Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler -- which seems to be a book on a similar premise. I'll have to get Bloodlands.
  7. Disclosure I was listening to a Barry Manilow song while I did so but you're not going to see me admit that in public. I have my limits.
  8. much like the 1950's funny pages and other funny animal books, they are generally considered "scarce"... in my years, I have found the last 10 issues or so of CC to be available in lower grade, but really scarce above fine... 58 is a tough one for sure...I only owned the one copy that was in my runs years ago Let's stop talking about your runs. This is a family-friendly board.
  9. Lordamercy Bill!!! That looks like a whole lotta fun.
  10. Bought a Wings 21, had the book in 2 days as described. Couldn't have gone better!
  11. "The pig that cost a hundred lives"
  12. +1. New one to me too! +2. Wow! I sure wish I owned more than a cover scan especially now that I've drawn the attention of you high-rollers to it. Iron page Clueless Jack I've got a true beater (no back cover) if anyone wants it. Just shoot me a PM.
  13. Hey Shep, Congrats on the copy of SSWS 6. Because Pedrin's guide listed that book as "extremely rare", I bought every copy I ever stumbled upon, unless the price was ridiculous. I ended up with 7 copies. I did the same with G. I. Combat #87, and I ended up with 21 copies. I did the same with SSWS 151 and I ended up with about 35 copies. Is SSWS 6 "extremely rare"? I doubt it. Tough to find? Yes. I don't have a copy anymore and I other than my last copy that I sold in 2010, I don't think I've seen another one in 2010 or 2011 so far. It is tough. Andy It's extremely rare because no child could get past the ridiculous cover! Shep, you'll always be sheep to us now.
  14. I pledge to take them into account every time I sell, and to ignore them every time I buy. So nothing really has changed.

  16. When I first got the book, I read ~200 pages and was bored senseless. Then I had a long plane flight & just grabbed it to see if it would occupy my time. Couldn't put it down.
