It was also part consolation prize for a very, very nice All American Men of War #12 that someone bought on EBay a couple of weeks ago that I coveted and missed out on.

You'll want to be keeping her!
Nice book - great art!
Shep
Ha, definitely! Of course, this still puts a serious dent in my comic budget for the month. Not that I'm complaining!

This one was a Valentine's Day gift from my wonderful wife!

agreed, that image was burned into my brain the first time I saw it when I was just a kid. the detail is just amazing
Yeah, that's just a great panel. Awesome composition, realistic, and gritty.

Kudos to ignimbrite for his quick payment on the Next Men books! Thanks for everything!
-
Kudos to BigFiver for a pair of Our Army At Wars! Schweeeeet books!
-
Well, I hope that's the case. It's funny: my New Year's Resolution (comics-wise) was to focus on two series, SSWS and Unexpected. So far, I've found myself buying Our Army At War and House of Mystery. But they were oh, oh so nice.......
-
Goldust snagged two of them. A lot of good stuff in the past week here and on EBay. This whole "restraint" thing sucks.
-
Oh the back is nice. VERY VERY nice.
How about another nice one? Picked this up today. Alas, not a pedigree, but still ok.
Not a pedigree??
Jeez....throw that sucker out.
-
Kudos to The Beyonder for a very nice House of Mystery 191! Thanks again!

Courtesy of our own Dmac!

Kudos to Dmac538 for the very nice OAAW #143!
You definitely know how to package a book properly!
-
As long as I can keep getting nice 9.2s for guide or less, I'm going to be a happy camper. The horrors are starting to get the premium in the 9.2 area and that's got me peeved a bit.
-
Nice books all in all, Buck. Agree on the SSWS. It's nice, but not for the price and advertised grade.
-
Oh, my wife wouldn't have it any other way!

Hey buckos,
Seeing as I can no longer put up teaser headings in the WTB/WTS selling and buying forum, I'm sending out a heads up on this thread that starting tomorrow morning, I'll be posting some more war books for sale. The last sale I had went really well. I've had a lot of folks on the boards ask me about when the next one was on, and rather than send a bunch of PMs, I've decided to post a general heads-up here.
What's for sale? There will be VF and better BA OAAW and Sgt. Rock, some VF and better G.I. Combat dollar size books, some mid-grade SA Captain Storm, Our Fighting Forces and All American Men of War, and scattered BA copies of OFF, SSWS and Weird War. Might even throw a few Atlas books in there too, depending on if I can get to them. Probably won't have as many books (130+) books listed as last time, but there will be lots of good stuff and it will all be listed in the morning - won't be spreading it out over the week like last time, title by title. I'm still not sure exactly when, but I will post a 30 minute warning on this thread before the books post over in the selling thread.
I still haven't got all the lists together, as I will be pulling books, scanning and uploading most of the night. 'I'll Take it' will be getting priority, so get those trigger fingers ready.
Apologies for putting this message here, but I don't want to get my knuckles rapped by the arch.
Thanks fellas,
Shep
Dang it all, I've already spent my monthly collecting allowance, but if there's a nice SSWS in there, I could see myself going a little bit over my allotment.
-
Nice books, Jim. Especially that AAMOW. I hardly ever see books from that series in anything above Fine.

Come on, Greggy, don't be modest now.....

What's the deal with this one issue wonder that arrived in 1978?
Was this book part of the DC implosion...I know that G.I War was a reprint series...All Out War lasted 4 issues (that Viking character was a hoot). any other short lived DC war series? Was the early 80s the "gasp" of the war genre? (If I recall, western was going through the same pains).
Blitzkrieg predated most of those, but it only lasted 5 issues. Men of War lasted a bit longer. It's fair to say that DC stretched itself pretty thin on the war books. The western genre for DC as far as I remember was Jonah Hex, and that was it. Everything else died out years before.
-
Just looking at some of the Batman and Detective Comics that are up in the Marketplace right now, and it occurred to me: The whole mystery format carried over quite a bit into at least the Batman books. I'm loving some of these covers, and even though they're Batman, some of them feel like they were ripped from the covers of House of Mystery (Neal Adams art helps quite a bit).
-
It sounds like we started reading them right around the same time. I knew nothing at the time of Our Army At War or Weird Western Tales or SSWS until later. I thought Sgt. Rock and Unknown Soldier always had their own books.
-
I see Dead People...really!
Remember and love that cover!
-
I grew up with all the DC war, western, and horror books, mainly because that's what my dad liked. The Unknown Soldier was always one of my favorites, and stood above Sgt. Rock, The Haunted Tank, and The Losers in my book. Then I started reading some of the Enemy Aces, which I had skipped previously, and found another character to rival the Soldier in terms of coolness....and all this leads me to the greatest book of the DC War genre....Star Spangled War Stories....three distinct and fantastic runs in that comic...the dinosaur era and its awesome covers, the Enemy Ace run, and the beginning of the Unknown Soldier. Nothing tops it....all IMO, naturally.

So, Sterling...does the new avatar denote a shift in collecting habits for '07?

Wow, I've never seen that G.I. Combat cover (the #88) before! That is just gorgeous. That just jumped to the top of my want list.
