Don't you just hate it when you're hiking on an alien world and some creepo demands that you take him back to earth so he can destroy it. God, I hate when that happens.

Thanks to october for a most excellent purchase.

My newest acquisition. Amazing cover gloss.

Just picked up this beauty. Mid grade definitely but the cover gloss is amazing. I'm quite happy with it.

 

That is a great cover! Another one to hunt for...... SHEESH!

It's amazing how Layton could make even Ron Wilson's pencils look good.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed by Kubert.... I even tried to draw like him! Actually, aping the Kubert style was pretty good practice. In the end, he has to be called the greatest DC war artist... even as much as I love Heath, Kubert towers over everyone!

 

Shep

I honestly don't think it's even fair to compare Kubert to Heath. They have radically different styles. Kubert, grim and gritty and Heath, clean and precise. Both phenominal in their own way. Heath is a master at facial expressions.

Funniest book I ever read

Yeah, that book was entertaining.

I have the two page OA spread for Spidey Intellectual Stories.

You guys do realize there are other titles out there besides X-Men

Yup.

I have all eight issues of the Legend of Daniel Boone.

Cool!!

Ageed!!

! Validation from the X-Men twins.

My newest friend. May not be terribly impressive but I'm happy with it.

Good god, that's purdy. Blows my mind (and makes me very, very jealous)

I've always liked these two covers......and added these to my collection this week!

 

Murphy Anderson ruled DC Silver Age SciFi covers!

I agree.

I was fortunate to meet him a few years ago at a con in White Plains NY. Very nice guy, and a great talent. Very smooth and clean style.

Nice books indeed

Another grail for me.

Also picked up on Saturday.

 

That's such a sweet mag. I wish mine was in as nice shape.

To keep the fires burning, here are a few more I recently got in:

 

John Buscema was almost too good.

Now on to the 35 centers which are sooo much more fun to hunt and much more of a challenge to find.

 

Like this small group

 

 

I would crack those two slabs........

Why would someone slab those two books in those grades?

That cover is amazing.

 

Here's one on eBay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/Big-five-DC-war-comi...1QQcmdZViewItem

Expensive with a capital E but you may be able to get it for a reasonable price with the "Make best offer" option.

 

Good luck!

And here's one that shows how silly prices can get. It's a good book, but it aint that good.

http://cgi.ebay.com/CHRIS-PEDRINS-BIG-FI...9QQcmdZViewItem

The Pedrin Guide is a guide to the DC Big Five War comics (Our Army at War, Our Fighting Forces, G.I. Combat, Star Spangled War Stories and All American Men of War) that was compiled by collector Chris Pedrin, with articles by some other prominent war comic collectors. While not perfect, it's a really useful guide in that it lists writer and artist credits for every issue of those five titles (and their offspring, Sgt. Rock and Unknown Soldier). It's getting tough to find now, but they do pop up.

And they can be quite expensive too when they "pop." Am I ever glad I got mine from Bud Plant several years ago. Great book!

How did Subby get so big?

Doug Sulipa for most except the Tender Love Stories and the Young Love, which were eBay purchases

Is it just me or is his website a complete nightmare to navigate.

Now THAT is a cool cover. Very nice.

<added to want list>

 

I'm really a sucker for picture frames if they have a villain I really like.

And a Gil Kane "up the nose shot" to boot.

Seeing those books makes me want to start collecting The Three Mouseketeers

 

Me too actually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah, so inside joke kind of thing then.

However, if you had done followed with then I would have known that. No problem though. Not trying to start a fire here.

You're right. I should have done it through PM though.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.
