Yeah, but they should have also told them to wear foil hats so aliens couldn't read their thoughts...

Ya know, I didn't even know it was aimed at schools until I started this thread...so ya learn something new everyday. I always wondered why it had no price on it.

I don't think the public was fully aware of the radiation problem or the range of a nuke in those days...or maybe the artist wasn't, but that's what makes it such a great oddball cover...you'll notice in that video that they never mention radiation...just the blast and heat...those kids under their desks would have been toast.

In their defense, the atom bomb was a really big concern in those days, and school kids were taught to "duck and cover" in case of an atomic attack...so yeah, I can easily see that choice being a good one to get the schools attention...no matter how unrealistic the cover was.

So...we're looking at bears, chickens and romance covers...fine...here's one of mine:

and another...

Thanks. I never knew (until last night) that there was an outer cover...

Anyone else want to join my club? I know there are others out there, even ones with the wraparound outer cover...I seen 'em...GLORY!

He assured me in an e-mail a few days ago that the book will get done. He's just been swamped...

Well, it's a lot better than Smokey the Bear riding a chicken...

Monsoon is my buddy Rob...I brung him here...

Sometimes I worry about you Jamie...

Welcome Monsoon... someone will probably like that book because it has red on it...

Congrats on the new book...

Here's my original copy...

The guide price on this book has just exploded in the last few years...so when I saw a low grade copy in an obscure comic shop last year for $40 I bought it. Now I have two also...

These spaces below FOR RENT-CHEAP!

Well, that was fun...I just read that whole Leatherneck Jack story on Comic Book +...

Are all those books in your sig line yours? If so, you're as varied in your tastes as I am, except for modern books...

I know...

I just try to help out wherever I can, so I can get to the next level in post counts...

But, actually it's very embarrassing as an L. B. Cole cover collector that I never knew about that book until a few days ago when I saw it on these forums.

It might scream 1950s, but the book is from 1945... Nevertheless, nice find...

My two Bethlehems

I am so tired of people saying..."oh, I've had several of those..." Grrr....

That makes me feel much better...

I've been trying to find one for 20 years.

I really, really, really need a copy of Wartime Romances 17 in VG or better if any of you Baker people have one for sale...PM me...please...

I just bought myself a couple books from Ritchie for Xmas. They were on his website and on Fleabay. I got his Police #25 (VG) after his second look at it, and an Adventures into the Unknown #38 (Devil cover-not a friend of Jesus ) in about VF. Didn't pay even close to what he wanted on Fleabay. He's a good negotiator if you ask for the discount. I wish Payette would adopt that attitude...
