My top ten,,,I have only been collecting war books for a few years, and I only collect DC Big 5 so that is what my list will consist of.
10. Our Army at War 112 - Brady Bunch Cover
9. Our Fighting Forces 71- Awesome Grey Tone
8. All American Men of War 67- 1st G&S
7. G.I. Combat 56 - Love the cover and prototype issue
6. G.I. Combat 80 - One of my all time favorite covers
5. G.I. Combat 91 - Another One of my all time favorites
4. G.I. Combat 87 - 1st Haunted Tank and what a cover
3. Our Army at War 81 - Almost the 1st Rock
2 G.I. Combat 68 - "The Rock" and also, my first DC War book
1. Our Army at War 83 - 1st True Rock
thirdgreenham's top 10 DC war books
10. Star Spangled War Stories #151 1st Unknown Soldier (not really, but it is to me. I doesn't have a great story as SSWS #154, but it introduces the character that filled my dreams for many, many nights)
9. Our Army At War #2 (incredibly scarce early DC war book, probably not on the top 10 of 100 other DC war collectors' lists, but due to it's scarcity, it makes mine)
8. All American Men Of War #67 1st Gunner and Sarge (tough book to find in nice shape and introduces a couple of real losers)
7. Star Spangled War Stories #84 1st Mlle. Marie (a very sought after book that sells for multiples of guide at times, very important for DC war collectors)
6. Our Fighting Forces #45 early Gunner and Sarge (strangely more important to me than the 1st appearance in AAMOW 67, I find both books very difficult to find in nice shape, but this one has a bigger draw for me)(side note-just try to find a copy of OFF46!)
5. Our Army At War #1 (a very important book for me, my first expensive DC war comic that I ever bought....it cost $150 for a VG about 13 years ago)
4. G. I. Combat #68 Sgt. Rock prototype (a surprise hit among DC war books, once thought to be the first Sgt. Rock appearance, now just a lowly prototype book that goes for gobs of cash!)
3. Our Army At War #81 last Sgt. Rock prototype (Overstreet lists this as the most expensive DC war book, but #83 should really take that crown. Can anyone with GPA confirm this?)
2. Our Army At War #83 1st true Sgt. Rock ( the most desirable comic book for DC war collectors-except me)
1. G. I. Combat #87 1st Haunted Tank (mesmerizing cover and it just so happens to be a monumental issue)
