Weird

From Kevin Boyd's post in the Modern forum: Supposedly in December. Very cool.

I thought it was pretty sweet seeing it for the first time. Wish the corner wasn't missing, but wasn't a deal breaker.

Ajax-Farrel art was produced by the Iger shop and that artists adopted a house style similar to Robert Webb and pre-EC Jack Kamen. It's hard to say who did what as often multiple hands were involved. I'm not sure if even the expert indexers are always confident of their attribution of artists for this publishers. Ahhh, I saw in OS it said something like "Kamen-ish art in all" or something. Thanks.

Couldn't leave the Tampa Con today w/o a purchase. I had not seen this one before and I really dig all the elements: the tophat on the skull, the snake-eyes on the die, the devil. Can someone tell me the artist?

Yup, that one just screams "Pedophile." It is also the only Kubert Rock original cover art that I always see for sale. Continually re-listed on ebay (valnsteve, I think), due to creepiness and the steep asking price no doubt.

Thanks to BassGMan, nochips and Blazing Bob for some recent purchases of mine.

I'm waiting for a 9.9.

Shout outs to: Rich Henn and Rip for some Rosa Weird War books and GACollectibles for a nice HOM 234 to go with the cover art I have for it. Thanks to Sterling, Timulty (I knew there was one I forgot last time I left kudos) and svndst1030 for purchases.

When does it go up for sale?

What's the grade? Got a scan to share? Sounds cool. Anyone know if they have a Showcase Presents SSWS in the works or anything?

Yeah, I didn't even get a bid in. It was a sharp looking book. I'd really like to see a new HG 153 come to auction as well. There's only one #153 graded (a double cover to boot).

The cover says something like "Goster & Koblish"(sp). I think the reprints interior is the only McFarlane art for that issue. The cover is just a swipe by some other dudes.

Got a HG Ghosts #42?

Big ups to Sterlingcomics and svndst1030 for purchases last month and to Comic Supply for for some Mylar combos off their site. I think I am forgetting someone though.

Thanks, but I think me and a few other's owe a nice thank you to Mr Rosa for bringing his collection to the market. Those WWT books are so difficult to get hold in top order, I had been hunting around for quite a number of years looking for top condition with no success until his books entered the market. I'm confident there are more high grades out there, but nothing else to date had the consistancy of his books. I would love to see the finally tally on the grading of the Don Rosa collection. I've bought multiple books for the same title from varying sources of the collection, so it seems a lot of people got equal dibs on the books at first offering. The deck cetainly had a good shuffling. I have 18 Rosa WWTs, but most were cheapies from later in the run. I bought the Rosa #9 raw in NM- and then preceeded to put a small tear on the top of the front cover when transferring it into a new mylar. I totally yelled out loud. I should be banned from handling any pedigree books.

Phenomenal.

Sulipa had a raw VF/NM SSWS 154 in his last mailing for like $150 or something IIRC. I almost pulled the trigger. G.I. Combat 275 is killing me atm. Have no idea why I cannot find a NM copy of it. 274 is the Crisis book, right?

Yeah, the only run I am really into slabbed are the SSWS Unknown Soldier issues. Other bronze war can be raw for all I care. It is a very cool run to collect, you've made a good choice. US is right up there with Jonah Hex and Batman as my favorite comic characters. I did get some good deals if you compare them to what was originally paid for these Rosa books. I don't know if he is just tired of comics - didn't really notice him buying comics much before the Rosa Collection came out - or what. I think I nabbed both books yesterday at about half of what he paid for them (or less) within the last year.

Yeah, I don't know what that dude's prob is with shipping. Nice book! Put in a request for a SSWS registry in the "Please add these sets" thread since you seem so intent on beating me out for HG slabs.

Thanks man. I think that is Rock's brother on the cover, don't have it raw.

Super DC Giant 25 CGC 9.4 I agree. I'm thrill bidding on ComicLink war books from now on. That's all I do and I end up winning some.

And besides the Rosa stuff, I also got back some slabs from CGC this week. And for those keeping track of how dealers do vs. CGC standards, I submitted 3 Oakland SSWS that were Metropolis NM (I am hoping there will be a SSWS registry in the future or I would have left them raw). Two were directly from Metro (152, 162) and one from board member tkg2627 (156).

OFF #133: I think this cover may be my favorite Losers cover. Love the pruple, the red, the snakes, and the collective "HOGWASH!" 9.0 OW-W for $22. Can't go wrong with that.

OAAW #236: Great charcoal-effect on this cover and I love the light source coming from the grave. It's a 9.2 OW-W.

OAAW 231: Little dist. ink at the top. Cover reminds me a lot of SSWS 151 with the color scheme. This is a 9.4 OW-W.
