1950's war comics

I loved the first 20 issues of Sgt Fury ! great stories in some of those issues,.. mini-novels even, after that when Stan Lee stopped writing them i didn't like them as much and didn't enjoy reading them even though I have most of the issues from 21-70 (going to unload them all together someday ....soon)

No pictures yet but just received my box of 15 comics back from CGC four days ago and I am looking at just one comic a day, I never look at my grades on-line,.. Its just like Christmas for 15 days in a row !!! Its so exciting knowing I have another comic to take out of the box to look at and examine and try and guess the grade each day for the next two weeks. Heck I waited three months to get them back, I certainly am not going to spoil the fun by looking at the grades on line in ten seconds or looking at them all at once in the box.... I really like the daily anticipation !!! so far: Brave and the Bold #22 CGC 7.5 (wow one of my better submissions ever!! ) even at cream to O/W,..and I bought it real cheap $15 I think War Adventures #4 CGC 6.0 (working on a registry set) Brave and the Bold #11 CGC 6.5 - very happy!! working on the 1-24 set House of Mystery #4 CGC 6.0 happy ! I did pay $140 for this one though

Received by CGC 09/14/15 shipped back to me today 12/21/15 (I was home for the signature) !! PS I never look at the grades on-line and I only take one or sometimes two out of the box to look at each day ! gives me something to look foreword to every day for a couple weeks

The cover of BA 12 to comics is what telly tubbies is to TV

No key covers compare with the ugliness of either NM 98 or BA 12 I would throw them away if they weren't keys

An issue #1 currently for sale on Ebay, looks to be a CGC 2.0 at best if graded, aggressively priced @ $500 to put it mildly

I has to be the most gruesome war cover of all .........

I never saw that #43 before ,..what a great cover !

i think Buzzy #70 is so interesting - must resist

Both of those books sound like good reads!

love hard to find golden age comics even if considered drek

wouldn't give a plugged nickel for a variant, its sort of like collecting the recent stamp releases among the countless issued every year, at least you can use the stamps

Is this silver war comics thread only for silver age? and if so is there a golden age war comics thread that I should be looking at also ? -thanks

The highest graded OAAW #1 that I have seen listed on E-bay in the last four years didn't last too long before selling, a nice mid grade CGC 5.0

I too plan on getting a couple early numbers graded and into the registry,.. someday... just for fun !! ... now if only squeggs would sell me his #1 CGC 1.0

I think "War Action" #14 is right up there with all his best !!!!!!

A brand new modern art museum opened in East Lansing a few years ago ,.. the building architecture itself is the only thing that is not completely unremarkable. I could write a novel dispelling this museums so called "modern art" but a few examples. : a whole medium sized room was filled with typewritten pages,.... I asked the guy working there what it was? come to find out , some nobody had another person record every single word that the nobody said for an entire week, and printed it out on 8X11 pages that now fill the entire room of an art museum. this was not art,... it was pure garbage, and 100% conceited garbage at that. another example,... in a large room was a very nondescript, long, pinkish plastic snake-like thing with white things on the top of it, it took the entire length of the room.. I asked the guy what it was and come to find out it was about 5000 used dentures connected and half-melted, I felt ashamed to be in the same room as this piece of "spoon" and left,.. these are just normal everyday example of the so-called modern art in this museum. will give more examples later.....

Bernie the Brain first appearance !!! there might be a movie in the works !!!

I really Like pink colored war comics too like issue SSWS #69.... those floating tanks were unfortunately pure death traps.

The one issue I bought was pretty bad, can't remember what number it was,... maybe 18 months ago..... it had a tiger in it, and exactly one panel of zombies. it was pure DREK except the only good thing was that Jesus was also in that issue.....

Gator some boardie just told me the golden age ended in 1945 and that OAAW #1 is a silver age comic I go by the ebay listings so I certainly wouldn't look for 1952 comics in the silver age section heck I would never find them there what are your golden age, year criteria?

My second favorite cover from the 1-80 run

Hi Andy, thank you for teaching me the photo-bucket! I enjoy reading military history as a hobby except I have never read much about frogmen, I believe the Italians may have sunk a couple of British ships in the Mediterranean, maybe even a heavy cruiser, I may have to read about their exploits someday,... right now I am in the middle of a great book on Midway called "Shattered Sword". If this is not an actual frogman cover (The cover says: Diary of a frogman) it is as close as it get in the OAAW pre Sgt Rock 1-80 run

Thank you again for this beauty Andy! Yes , beautiful color schemes on this all around great comic cover and also a rarely depicted "Korean War" cover !! DC big 5 war comics almost never depicted the Korean War.... this might just be the only one !!, Now Atlas War on the other hand....the majority was Korean War
