I DID NOT WIN THIS but thought I would share the result. Pretty darn rare Beetle with a classic cover you can even see the Fox symbol whited out on the front and the back cover is an add for Catman Comics.

Anyways, brought in $3848 or close to 25 times guide!! This book is so cool and has awesome interior splashes with the giant snake and the graveyard scene too including a double splash that is just killer!! If anyone has a lead to an interior I have the cover I know i’ve mentioned it before but it never hurts to ask again (and again:))

I was a bidder on this for a while, but ended up spreading the cash I don’t have around. I love these two Samson WWIICover books!

Here are a couple more I haven’t seen published in this thread

Picked up this one a couple of weeks ago. Great color.

I had the full set of Sandman WWII covers, traded a couple for a nice MLJ.

Last one for tonight. Fantastic 18 has a total of six on the census, but three are restored.

Another toughie, as are all the early Headlines, and this one happens to be a signed wwii cover Okajima camp book. Total of six on census with one restored.

Here’s a tough wwii cover (are you sensing a pattern in my posts 😁). 3 blue and one purple on the census.

And we jump to the lowest graded of 4 on the census. I think most of the Captain Aeros show less than 10 or in the low two figures.

Highest graded of 5. The early Quality books can be tough, though I wouldn’t say rare. I’m sure there are lower grades out there that haven’t been submitted for value/demand reasons. I love the multi-colored sea in the background. Reminds me of the Dazzle paint they put on ships later in the war to confuse submarines.

Here’s a pretty Fox wwii cover book. I should have this graded one day.

Highest graded of 6 on the census. No number and no date, but wwii vintage I think.

Okajima camp comics with racist Japanese portrayals are very very cool.  They capture an incredible injustice.  Very thought provoking, great back story, definitely the sort of book that should make a Top 10 list under my criteria.  Thanks!

Great points. I think this early signed camp book showing a planned Japanese invasion of the US is both cool and heartbreaking.
