Bart, I was wondering, is that cover credited to Cole anywhere? I know he did a bunch of paperback covers but the ones I've see have his sig. Just curious as to how you dug that one up. Thanks!

ADDED!!!

Well, shows you what I know. Four Favorites #13 it is then! I can't get past how different it looks from his other stuff though, regardless of what Gerber says. The faces look nothing like Cole's, and the composition is awkward. Even the signature looks wonky. Maybe a different artist penciled it and Cole inked it? That's a decent guess. But I'll count it! excelsior1986 - Thanks for the info. I'll remove the Super Mystery, but add in the notes to my DB on his interior work. That will come in handy! And, UPDATE: 1) Four Favorites #13 2/1944 2) Terrific Comics #3 5/1944 3) Power Comics #1 6/1944 3) Suspense Comics #4 6/1944 4) Contact Comics #1 7/1944 5) Power Comics #3 8/1944 6) Suspense Comics #5 9/1944 6) Catman Comics #25 9/1944 6) Contact Comics #2 9/1944 6) Power Comics #4 9/1944

You got it! ADDED!!! I found a bigger scan and updated my post above for all to see. His sig looks a bit different, so even if it was published 2nd, it's possible it was drawn earlier. So here's the publication listing: 1) Super Mystery #19 1/1944 2) Four Favorites #13 2/1944 3) Terrific Comics #3 5/1944 4) Power Comics #1 6/1944 5) Suspense Comics #4 6/1944 5) Contact Comics #1 7/1944 6) Power Comics #3 8/1944 7) Suspense Comics #5 9/1944 7) Catman Comics #25 9/1944 7) Contact Comics #2 9/1944 7) Power Comics #4 9/1944 Bart - do you have any info on the Super Mystery???

I've never seen that one before - does anyone have confirmation on this that it's his? If this is his, it's in the running as #2 of the earliest published cover by the dates I have. If it's not, I have these as the oldest in order by publication date: 1) Super Mystery #19 1/1944 2) Terrific Comics #3 5/1944 3) Power Comics #1 6/1944 3) Suspense Comics #4 6/1944 4) Contact Comics #1 7/1944 5) Power Comics #3 8/1944 6) Suspense Comics #5 9/1944 6) Catman Comics #25 9/1944 6) Contact Comics #2 9/1944 6) Power Comics #4 9/1944

No problem Adam! Here's the last page of that one: It's from an auction listing that ended not too long ago. Thank the seller!

Is that really a Cole cover? IMO the faces and linework look quite different from his style. The eyes certainly do. This is Cole's 2pg spread from the issue prior:

D ick Tracy = +1!!! I'm not certain on adding paperback covers, what do you guys think? I can attempt to keep a separate paperback list too.

DUDE! Where has THAT cover been hiding? I knew he did a killer story in the issue before it but I wasn't aware of that cover. ADDED!

TOTAL UPDATE: I had 387. Add in the 12 I just added plus the BOLD #2, Red Fox #15, and Wit & Wisdom #1 and we're up to 402!!!!

Thanks for the info guys! On the following: All-Famous Crime 8, 9, 10, 4, 5 - ADDED! Ship Ahoy 1 - ADDED! Gasoline Alley 2 - ADDED! Western Crime Cases 9 - ADDED! All the Classics Illustrated issues - ADDED! On this one: A1 Comics #108 (Red Fox #15) - is that his cover or just interiors? I'm only asking because this is a "covers only" list. Maybe afterwards I'll work on and interiors list. Bold Comics #2 - I didn't see this one in my DB, and haven't found anything on it yet. I'll add it to my list of issue to add to the DB. Another one I'm considering on adding is WIT & WISDOM #1. It's not a comic but is in a similar vein. Now these below: Weird Jungle Tales 202 Shocking Detective Cases 201 Flaming Romances 4 Gasoline Alley 3 Ship Ahoy 2 ...are tricky. If I'm remembering correctly these covers were all created but never used. So they really aren't collectible but do exist, correct? I'll keep this for reference, but as more of an addendum to the main list but not part of it. Sound good? As far as the AP reprints, I can understand with some of the covers (POPULAR TEEN-AGERS #6 with the god-awful pink cover comes to mind). But some, like the POPULAR TEEN-AGERS #5 is dead on and looks great! In my opinion it goes on an issue by issue case.

Thanks. I guess the only copies that ARE reprints on the list are the Accepted Publication reprints. Honestly, I'm not sure if they should be counted as entirely different issues or not but either way there aren't THAT many of them. Do you (or anyone) consider the AP reprints of lesser value then the Star copies? I have some that look exactly the same, but then there are some that have different colors and different image quality on the cover.

Yes! That does help a lot. I was able to find each and every one of those issues. In some cases (mostly with the CI Jr.'s) there are multiple reprints but I'm putting L.B. Cole's name on all of them just to be complete. With those additional books that makes 387 covers so far (not including reprints) and counting!

Ok, thanks guys! I'll have to add to the list the following issues into the DB as they don't exist: TRUE TO LIFE ROMANCES 3-21 BINGO COMICS #1 SPORT THRILLS 11-15 HI-HO COMICS 1 EAGLE COMICS 1, 2 MIGHTY BEAR 13, 14 UNSANE 1 WESTERN ROMANCES 106 JUNGLE THRILLS 16 INTIMATE SECRETS OF ROMANCE 1, 2 SMASH-HIT SPORTS 1 FLAMING WESTERN ROMANCES 3 I already updated the Captain Flight & Dime Comics plus I recalled a few others like TOYTOWN and TAFFY Comics. Then along with the Classics Illustrated there was another title called "The World Around Us." I'm aware of a few of the CI issues that he did, as I own a few of the cover proofs, and I'll update them as I locate them. I've seen 3 or 4 of the TWAU issues credited to Cole, but if anyone has any info I'd be glad to document it. Without the CI / TWAU issues I count 370 covers total. I'll re-run the list after I update the CI issues at least. Maybe after I add the above issues into the DB too. We'll see. Thanks!

Ok, just to show you I wasn't kidding, here's a preliminary list I was able to dig up. I can add a few more columns if you guys want to see other types of data, if it's available from my software that is. One example is the "Notes" column. I'm pulling this from my ComicBase DB that I just upgraded to version 16 of. I'm finding it easier to run reports from and I know a little SQL so it's not that hard for me. I know that some titles are missing. For example TRUE TO LIFE ROMANCES isn't yet listed because I have to add that title to the DB (I guess it's not that popular of a title among CB users!). SPORT THRILLS and BINGO COMICS #1 are two other ones that need adding on. But besides all of that, here's the list! If you have any other additions let me know and I'll edit the software when I can. It's up to 322 covers, then add on the others that I mentioned that are missing and you're likely near 350. Whadda think?

use the "Text to columns" function with that character and move the data fields into their own columns.

Great covers Bart! Of all the covers you posted, this is one I'm missing. Nice copy!

Thanks! I noticed a smudge on the cover of the INDIAN book... right by the horse's butt. HA!

The hand is right because we're looking at the back of it. I think the problem is the elbow bend. Try putting your arm in that pose - it's possible but not something you'd do naturally. (Well, not if you have my right elbow anyway.) Yeah, I tried posing like that while looking at the picture and nearly dislocated something. Glad nobody saw my here in my cube at work.

Latest purchase: Indian Warriors #7. Actually a few of these have sold lately. I think there's a GCG 7.0 out there now. This copy looked mighty fine to me, and the price was right!

Cool cover. Is it me, or is the dude with a turbin on the right have his hand drawn backwards?

Thanks Adam! I love tracking down the not-often-seen issues. Just secured this one off of ebay (listing's scan), Terrors of the Jungle 20, This isn't the best copy, but it's a tough one to get in nice shape. There was another copy out there last week, but there was a spot on the front cover that was killing me. This one may have a bit out of a corner here and there, but I think presents better - and was cheaper! Now, if I can just get a #21 I'll have the high numbered run (which I think also came first). Then I'll still need the 4-8 to complete the whole run.

YES! Killer Rangers 26! Congrats! To add to the 2 I just picked up above, I snagged this one for a good deal over the weekend:

I just got the above book in, and it looks beautiful. Some tanning on the top corner, but the colors are quite bright. AND I just snagged this one last night. I'll have to cross it off my want list!!! (pic from the auction) TOP LOVE STORIES #6

Awesome! What comic is that one from? It was reprinted in Amazing Mystery Funnies 2/7, but appeared earlier in another issue somewhere. Centaur was well-known for shuffling/reprinting select stories around. The full story ("The C-20 Mystery") is available in the Bill Everett Archives Vol. 1, Amazing Mysteries, from Fantagraphics Books. Highly Recommended. Thanks! I got the "Fire and Water" book about Bill, but the archives book is still on my Amazon wish list. I'll have to bump it up! Oh, BangZoom: I totally recognized that panel and the Archie comment still threw me for a loop!

Love this cover! I've now got it and a few other Jungle Comics on my radar. I don't think I'm insane enough to want a complete run of any title, but I'd really like to have a handful of issues from a bunch of FH titles. I've already got a Wings 90, and I just secured these 2 yesterday:
