Guess who you were bidding against! I suppose we should have some kinda signal, huh??

I cross-posted this in Teen Humor. A purchase so recent, that it hasn't even arrived yet.

Here's a purchase so recent, it hasn't even arrived yet!!!

Pardon me if I've commented on this book before Surfer, but it's a kill kill kill KILLER copy Seriously now ....

It just goes to show you how hard they are to find: You still have my old copies of 6, 9, and 14, which I sold to you better than a half dozen years ago. I see you upgraded my old 2 and 12. I still want that 6 back if you upgrade Billy boy. Actually, I'd take back the 9 and 14 as well

Who can say no to a 9.6 GA book, especially as pretty as this one? Congrats! Well, not me I guess. Thanks for the praise Thor (thumbs u

I hope that pumpkin stem isn't TOO long I was just going to post something very similar to that regarding Bill's comment, but you beat me to it! Glad the article is still appreciated! Great (dirty) minds think alike I guess Your article will ALWAYS be appreciated!!

I hope that pumpkin stem isn't TOO long

That really is stunning! +10. Black cover, 1946, incredible! Thanks Surfer Yep, the colors did it to me

Awesome grab Matt Even if it DID cost you more than it should have, look at it this way: It's no fun to say, "Hey gang, check out the scan of this book that I ALMOST bought".

That really is stunning! Thanks Matt (thumbs u P.S. I STILL love your monster cereal article from Freakie Magnet

Ok Gator, is that a this is pretty, or a it's not a Timely??

I bought a couple of high grade Populars that had War Bond covers. They are great reads too - though that won't help you. Welcome to Dellcollectorville. Thanks (thumbs u If I can find more cool ones in this kinda shape, this one won't get lonely!

Himmel ! Mine head !

Thanks guys (thumbs u

I'm sure this has happened to most of you before: I was totally taken with the cover colors and condition of this book to the point of purchase and I don't remotely collect Dells!!!! I guess I could have worse problems ....

A great book and a great cover. I like the fact that, somewhere in its history, some young man could probably not stand the bare-chested, no-cleavage cover and added a little pencil line. I bet Scrooge did it

Welcome to the boards (thumbs u What a fine batch to start off with

Billbo, I purchased the artwork directly from the buyer who got it from Chet Kozlak himself. I still have the catalog from the collection and it states this about Kozlak: "Chester Kozlak illustrated various adventures of D.C. characters from 1942-1947 - Flash, Green Lantern, Atom, Wildcat, Hawkman and Justice Society. To assist in his illustrating duties, Chet was often given comic books, tear sheets and art to use as character guidelines." That is why the collection contained art from such D.C. legends as Jack Burnley, Joe Kubert, Sheldon Moldoff, H.G. Peters, Irwin Hasen, Paul Reinman, Hal Sherman, Mart Nodell, Hibbard, Blummer, Young, Mayer and Kozlak himself. Enjoy the artwork pal, you were about the only person I'd sell it to The next time I go to Chicago, I'll try to remember to bring the catalog to show ya the OTHER artwork found in the collection. You've got two pieces of it so far Billbo!! Not too bad for a guy who wasn't interested when the collection surfaced. I will acquire them all I may actually know where a few others are. I think I know someone who has a page from the same All American #55 (page 8) and I believe a different collector has the Peters page from Sensation #76, as well as the Sheldon Mayer Scribbly page from All American #4, which is one page gag story. However, I believe that NONE of the aformentioned pages are currently for sale. Now that works in your favor, because you've got plenty of time to assemble a cash stash and could have me inquire at your leisure. Something to think about ....

You're a Wacky Duck. But a higher grade WD than that one Coming from a tough grader like YOU Billbo, not on land or under the sea, have I been paid a higher compliment
