Robot Man

I don't care what grade I get. I just want to "Hold " and turn his pages...

When LB Cole drew a horse it wasn't just a horse..... it was a SUPER HORSE! Here's this 3 issue mini run, although the #5 is the AP reprint and you can tell. This copy is much more faded than the Star Pub copy, and I think a tad smaller. Some AP's you can't tell except for the logo but this isn't one of them.

Very nice! Cole loved to do wild life. He did a bunch of fishing magazines with beautiful trout and bass images. I'll see if I still have some laying around.

I've shown this before, but it just seems right to post this funky homemade "annual" here again...

Annother Atlas. Battle Action #5. Great colors and gloss on this one. I believe it is the Church/Mile High copy. I bought it probably 40 years ago from Chuck at the Casual Con he mentions in his Church article. Many of my Church books came this day. I was buying the "cheaper" stuff mostly horror, crime, SOTI stuff. Most people were on the superhero stuff but I have always like the "other stuff" more and I was able to get a lot more books for the buck. It isn't listed as well as the other stuff I got that day on his master list probably because he did the list after this show I'm guessing.

Here's another nice Farrell. Battle Report. Great colors on this one with very racist verbage. (Blankis/Salida copy). This book has the brightest white pages you could imagine.

I like these Farrells a lot. Also underated. they are all very violent and some of the stories aren't all that bad. Nice black cover and a flamethrower on this one. War Report #1

This one needs no introduction. This is a good short run and all of them are pretty good. I think I have all of them now.

Here's another nice GI Joe cover with a hot babe on the cover.

I didn't know what to post today but since I'm on a war kick and you guys seem to enjoy them, I'll list the ones I have in my bucket right now.

Here is GI Joe #35. Hot good girl art cover. I like this run and have quite a few of them. They are cheap and not to hard to find. Some of them have Yardbirds stories by Dan DeCarlo as a bonus.

Last but not least, one of the most famous Atlas war covers...

 

 

That one always reminds me of the Baker flame thrower cover.. Do you have any other Baker war covers?

Yeah, I have most of the run only for the Baker Canteen Kate stories. The covers (other than this flamethrower cover) are pretty tame. I think I like the War cover is a little better. Black background really makes the flame stand out plus it's a little more detailed and gritty.

Spy atomic bomb cover classic,,.. . Never saw it before thanks

Probably only one of a couple ones I've got. They are pretty boring reads but this one has a great cover.

I gotta get me a TAR #9 someday. Did you get all these "Nancy's" all at once or discover them one by one in the wild? I'll keep my eyes peeled and check my boxes and see if I can turn up any more for you.

Unfortunately, there were no romance comics in the "Paul" collection. I dug hard hoping there was some Baker stuff. Very little but no romance which makes sense. I love these "name" collections especially if you know what was in them. My favorite "name" collection was the "Rex Parker" collection I wrote about over in my thread. I got the whole collection of about 1,000 1948-1956 books. I pretty much bought them sight unseen. Was like opening King Tuts tomb as I turned them over in the pile! (no romance in that collection either, boys don't buy love books).

Oh, I LOVE that one! I keep thinking of all the ones I missed...

With all the talk lately of "Paul" books I thought I would start a club to see whats out there.

 

 

Here are the only two I have.

 

 

Yours came from Ed Robertson's buy. Did you get them from him?

I like to trace the "lineage" on these. I know the original purchaser sold a ton of them on ebay so there are lots of the real good ones still out in "circulation"

He sold a jaw dropping Marvel Mystery #26 before I hooked up with him.

Killer stuff Bob

 

I don't have them all scanned yet, but have some in my photobucket. I'll get some more scanned this weekend

Thanks Bill! Yours aren't bad either! I've got a bunch more but will have to find some time to dig 'em out and post 'em. I need to find the ones with the coupons filled out like your Our Gang.

Paging Tricolor Brian!!!

Now that is a frightening scene!!!

Awsome book! I love that Everett cover. Crack it! Crack it! Crack it!

It is suffocating in that tomb!

I'll collect 'em if there's a Flash 96 in there..... GOD BLESS....
