Glanzman

 

Heath

Double ditto ! I have always loved Mr. Glanzman's work, although not as polished as Mr. Heath, or Mr. Kubert, there is just something about his style that really appeals to me.

Here's a BA G.I Comabt page that I'm sure I'm posted before, but as a kid this page was burned into my brain.

Cool book Jack, but, man, that is one loud cover!

Dude, that is truly awesome!

It's small and B&W but I'm sure someone will show us the a color scan soon enough

Overstreet, Shmoverstreet.... I'm more interested in hearing from the REAL experts... mainly you guys.

 

I want to hear everyone's top 10s. For what it's worth, here's mine. This have nothing to do with price and everything to do with sweet, sweet love....

 

 

 

Shep's Top Ten War Books of all Time

 

10. Star Spangled War #154. The Origin issue of the Unknown Soldier, and a much more satisfying story than the first appearance in #151.

 

9. Our Fighting Forces #123. First appearance in this title by the Losers, drawn by the truly underrated Ken Barr.

 

8. Our Fighting Forces #49. First Pooch. Need I say more?

 

7. Star Spangled War #146. I know everyone raves - rightly so - about 'Burma Sky', but Toth's finest DC war moment was undoubtedly 'White Devil, Yellow Devil', a startling Bob Kanigher Gallery of War tale.

 

6. Our Fighting Forces #45. First appearance of Gunner & Sarge in their own title. Love it.

 

5. Our Fighting Forces #71. The best greytone cover of all time? Yup.

 

4. Our Army at War #81. Okay, okay.... it's not the first appearance. But the main story sets up the coming legend, there's a Heath back up story, and just look at the purple on the cover... PLEASE!!!

 

3. Our Army at War #244. Is 'Easy' First Tiger' the perfect Sgt. Rock tale? Yes.

 

2. G.I. Combat #87. First Haunted Tank. The only DC war comic with the cover and all stories by a certain Russ Heath (as my friend Mick Rabin called it 'An Azz-kicking Russ Heath Tour de Force.' One of the finest covers of all time.... PINK!!!!!!!!!!

 

1. Our Army at War #83. First Sgt. Rock by Kanigher and Kubert. 'Hey! Your chocolate fell into my peanut butter!' The perfect combination... Mmmmmmmmm

 

I recently read an interview with Heath where he commented on OAAW 244. He said something to the effect of, "nobody had drawn a tiger tank before and I wanted to draw it so well that noone else would try". Not verbatim, but that was the gist.

 

I'd venture to say that he did just that.

Great story, He did indeed do that. That is just a jaw dropping splash page.

The lead stories, and fun ones too, IIRC

The War That Time Forgot =

Karma23 = dogma93 on e-bay

No luck on getting this thread pinned eh?

Cool books, Andy (thumbs u

This thread hasn't slowed down abit for at least 6 months!

That and the cover to Sgt Fury #10 are two of my favorites of the entire run. I'm still looking for nice copies of both...I'm just sayin'

Cool book Cap (thumbs u

Nice book Jeffro! (thumbs u I love that cover and actually have

a copy not as nice as yours of course.

 

 

Here is a book that arrived yesterday and purchased from e-bay

and what a great seller this guy is. It was superbly packaged in a

big box and graded properly as a VF/NM. I sent him an e-mail to

say thanks and it turns out to be board member, AtlasFan. (thumbs u

 

Thank you Bill.

 

 

Here's a slab I bought a while ago and some how Spidey snuck into

the picture and will do anything to get into the SA War Thread and

must know about the prices of war books lately.

 

 

I don't why but this is one of my top five Rock covers.

 

Great books, as always, Fay! You've added some sweet books to this thread and the BA thread! Congrats

Great book Jeffro. (thumbs u

I didn't even know that Charlton did 100 pagers.

Great books Bluechip

All SA War books are very welcome here, although DC's Big Five get the most love, I for one love Sgt Fury, and your G.I. Joe #10 is a fantastic looking book!

Welcome to the War threads (thumbs u

Thanks again Fay, I really appreciate your help, and getting this book really made my day!

It's quite a community we have here.

So, last Saturday morning I'm sitting down to my first cup o' joe, and I log on to the boards and have a PM.

It happens to be from our own Fazybones, who had noticed that I was very eager to get a copy of OAAW 218, well she alerted me to a nice copy on Ebay, and I hit the BIN.

So many thanks to Fay for looking out for the Dog of War and helping me to acquire a semi-grail

Thanks Fay, you're the best!

sweet books canickus, boy, those sure bring back some memories.

Nice books Whisp! I especially like the colors on the AAMOW 63

Isn't that Donald Trump?

Gotta love this one. Does anyone know what's going on with this guy's hair?

 

Great books, love that MM #15 (thumbs u

Two great books Fay! Congrats
