Do you have any other book recommendations on palaeontolgy Steve? Here's one for you. wonderful life Was going to recommend that. Wonderful Life is a fascinating book. Gould raised a lot of interesting questions about whether we really understand the evolutionary process. Surprised to hear it was controversial, but then adherence to dogma sometimes gets in the way of open-minded exploration. Thanks again for this fascinating thread! Although the latest monster pics you posted gave me a start!

And this interesting comic meant to convince readers that the U.S. had no business getting involved in the war...

Here are some D.C.-produced WWII era giveaway comics: - Two versions of "Tomorrow The World", about how to deal with a hateful young German visiting the US - Two giveaways from Pearl Buck's East West Foundation promoting Chinese/American cooperation, reprinting stories from World's Finest and Comic Cavalcade - A rare unlisted giveaway about the Merchant Marines

This taught soldiers how to avoid hypothermia...

This was to promote safety in aircraft factories...

This comic was produced in Tegernsee, Germany in Autumn of 1945, presumably to encourage good relations between American GIs and local residents. Here is an interesting article in the New York Times about how Tegernsee was spared from destruction.

Here are a couple of comics produced to help motivate the Homefront...

Not an actual vintage WWII comic. This is a prop comic produced by D.C. for Spielberg's Empire of the Sun, the great movie about J.G. Ballard's internment in a Japanese prison camp in China during WWII. Also a picture from the movie of Christian Bale as Jim reading the comic.

More WWII comics produced by service men and women...

These giveaways were produced for distribution to servicemen overseas...

An early 1940s comic book about the telephone, and a tough Will Eisner-produced fertilizer giveaway.

Did someone say uncut?

This is Silver Age and not really a comic, but an interesting promo for the Comics Code...

People know about Elsie, but did you know there was actually an Elmer of Elmer's Glue? Seems they had the same art director!

The Feds wanted people to know that anyone who bought too much sugar could have been...a moonshiner!

Seen lots of the GE Adventures series, but haven't seen one earlier than this one from 1945. First in series? Check out the back cover - like some grim German Expressionist painting!

A couple Red Feather promos...

A few random promos...Here is a Dell Surprise Book stickered with a Blue Bird promo...

Issue 30

Great one, Marty! I like the later issues, too, with the Crandall/Willmer Space Patrol and the green-suited villainess.

I don't know where I'd put it, but I need one of those displays. Far too cool... Love the gray Hulk...

That's a super clean one! Nice. Do you have the set or just a few? Any multi-packs? Just have a couple of the individual cars.

Back to Marvel, they are still mining Kirby's bones... Check out this recent display for a line of Marvel Hot Wheels. 5.99 each!!!
