The first Mitzi page had me doubting Baker art, but the last two panels on the second page are classic Baker. When did this book come out?

I flipped through this book at my LCS a few weeks ago. Reproduction quality isn't the best. Just a heads up for the online mail-order types.

Gotta love comic books. The guy is in the middle of a bunch of smokin' hot scantily clad island girls and all he's interested in is wondering if Alani knows about the ape man.

I can't see what does Sheena sees in Socratic Wonder either! Especially now that he seems to be getting rid of her namesake's books. 1. I was talking about Bob. 2. SW is selling off a few books to purchase something big. I wish him luck because it's a book all you will recognize, one of my favorite GA covers, and one I would not mind owning one of these days. 3. If a Jumbo 31 comes up for sale, anticipate a battle between us for it. Pistols at 50 yards or something dignified and honorable like that. You do know his (SW's) girlfriend is actually named Sheena? She digs the funnybooks too. I didn't know that. Is she a punk rocker? SW and I are discussing a meet-up at the Magic Castle in November when I'm in LA. I'll have a chance to meet Sheena in person then.

Kudos to Socratic Wonder for offering me a great book at a reasonable and fair price then getting it to me within a week of me mailing him a check. The first round is on me when we make it to the Castle.

This bad good girl just arrived thanks to Socratic Wonder. My co-workers now know what a slab is and great white pages are. My wife commented on seeing the picture after I purchased the book that Bob was hot. I had to explain to her that he was the doofus Sheena had to rescue every issue. Honestly, I don't know what Sheena sees in that guy.

It's Action 1/Detective 27/Suspense 3/All-Star 3/etc. cool. Very nice.

Or maybe the grandchildren in six or eight years. Congratulations, btw.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: We have covered this. Fiction House books do tend to have a fading problem. You may want to do a search and see if you can find any of the old posts.

That's the best cover I've seen in quite a while. LOVE IT.

Are there enough women for you in this Cowboy Maggie page? Yup. Kamen art?

More girls! Less purple!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Wimbledon Green is a must read for anyone who enjoys Golden Age comics.

No 45. I need 40, 41, 45, and 46 for a sweet 40-49 run. Those 4 are now high on my want list.

Sweet book, Sean! Did you get that from the Comic Heaven auction? I apparently won a couple of Lost Valley Tip Tops but I just got the invoice a couple of days ago. I actually won it on eBay. And I was actually NOT sniped in the last seconds, which I would have bet money would happen. I looked like this guy - - when I realized I wasn't sniped. I love the war-era Rip Carson stories also. Great propoganda of the type you don't see anymore in our "enlightened" era.

At the risk of killing this thread (as my image posts often seem to do), the recently acquired Lost Valley pedigree Fight #42:

Lost Valley. It's amazing how Rip Carson always manages to land on the enemy soldier right near a beautiful woman. He's a paratrooper's paratrooper.

I haven't posted recent books in a while, but this new arrival deserves being shown off. Fight Comics #42, Lost Valley Pedigree:

Beautiful book. Have you read it? Is Rip Carson now a soldier in Korea?

And.. the piece of reference that Mr. Heath used in the creation of that masterpiece spread! Shep! How cool is that?! What cool tidbit of info! Now I gotta build me Karma's First Tiger! Ha! When I was a kid, I loved building plastic models. I've contemplated lately getting an M3 Stuart model so I could build a Haunted Tank.

So last Monday I had the pleasure of visiting Marc's House of Comics and spending an hour or two talking war comics and flipping through a few boxes of DC war. Marc, happy to talk war comics, not only educated me on many aspects of DC war about which I was ignorant, but pulled books from the boxes to show off great panels and stories even though he knew I wasn't going to be buying that particular book. I'll never forget sitting in the office drooling over Russ Heath's artwork for Our Army at War 244. I knew Heath was great, but I didn't know that in the early 1970s he was GREAT. Anyway, I did manage to purchase a few high grade Bronze books that Marc was kind enough to set aside. Sorry for the crappy images, but I used my camera instead of the scanner.

Absolute kudos to Weird for sending me a box of great DC war comics for a great price. We cut a deal for some GI Combats then I sent a few extra bucks for shipping and "throw in a few surprises to make up what isn't covered by the shipping costs." Here's what I got: Hard to see the extent of the books from the photo, but it's a nice stack. There's also some high grade Unknown Soldiers and 20-25 cent Our Army at War books. Way more than I was expecting.

Fuelin' up for more comic eatin'! Those are shredded X-Men #1 (1991) in the bowl. Cheaper and easier to find than cat food. Jack (Cyclops cover tastes best) That would be animal cruelty! No X books for my kitties. Only high grade DCs!
