Just picked this piece up last weekend at a Flea Market (sorry it is a little blurry). I believe it is a page from Speed Comics 32 by Jill Elgin, from a feature called Girl Commandos, 1944. I grabbed it mainly because of the dark war subject matter. I've never heard of the artist but I'd be curious to hear what some of you think of it.

You all are seriously amazing to watch in action. What books to sell, what books to buy!

Latest pick up, never know what you'll find at a flea market! Presents nicely, I think. Missing CF, anyone has an extra hit me up.

Stupendous show! Clearly this should've been the winner for Best Short Film.

Fantastic books, what a beautiful run!!

My only Crippen.

US Marines 3, per PM. Great books on offer!

Holy cow!! Amazing, many congrats on a major score!! Definitely curious if you have an undercopy...

I've been wanting to add a few more '39 books but needed to get them scanned/photographed. And if Bedrock is the luxury boxes and skypinkblu is the cheaper seats, then these must be in the nose bleed section, as most of these are very rough and/or incomplete. MF 42, MF 47 (cvr only) MF 48 Adventure 35, Adventure 39, Adventure 42, Adventure 43, Top-Notch 1. But they are rare and cool and I love em!

I was scanning a few more 1939 books for that thread, but didn't want to miss cross-posting them here. I'm interested to learn more about this artist. It surprises me how often he is mis-attributed for Flessel, including on CGC labels. Hopefully they have their info correct now. My copies are very rough, but I love the covers, and they are so rare I'm just happy to have them.

This should be fun!

I noticed this was missing from your Want to Buy line a few days back so I figured something was imminent. But wow, what a pickup!!

1939 was a great year for the industry. Hard competing with some of you heavy hitters, although viewing what you have is a real pleasure! Here a few of mine...

Being of a somewhat younger generation and only collecting GA for the last decade, I have not been privileged to grow into the hobby with many folks like Marty around. It is so fascinating to me to hear these stories. But I have met one local guy who is about Marty's age I think. He has let go of pretty much all his comics over the years, but I know he still has the New York World's Fair 1939 issue that his aunt brought him back as a present/souvenir from when she visited the fair. It is super rough, since he was a young kid at the time, but I always thought that story was so cool, especially since it is a 1930s book. Not an online guy at all though. So Marty is likely reigning champ on here.

Didn't realize there was a 14 club meeting this weekend! Mine pales in comparison to most of yours, but just happy to have it! And Markentoth's Church is really wonderful, what a feeling to know that you likely own the single newsstand fresh copy of 14!

Beautiful book! GLWTS!

Holy Planets! Very nice, both of you!

I think this one hits all the categories...

Great examples!!

Thanks! Yes I just won it from eBay. Thought it was a great deal at that price.

I was hoping the incomplete Contact 12 would've been more reasonable, but no... I saw a 105 for sale at C2E2 last year in about 1.0 for I think $1100 or $1200. So this seems like a deal in comparison, and I think this one presents nicer too.

Congrats on the Adventure 42, that is an awesome book!
