Hansi

[tigers comics]

Would this be a bronze age comic? Picked it up at the LCS this summer [/img]

[Doc Joe]

The Spire Christian Comics started to be published in 1972, so yes this is Bronze.

 

Its a somewhat surreal read:

Yes. Hansi is a Bronze book.

 

Great, bizarre one-shot. Nice pick up.

[Spider-Variant]

Wow, that was a whirlwind read. All that and Terry Bradshaw too.

 

Very Neat book.

Here's my Hansi. Sorry for the krappy scan....

Yup; note that there are two versions, one with 39 cents and one with 49 cent prices. The 49 cent is a couple of years after the original 39 cent version.

"gum-chewing gangsters"

 

Was that a big thing back then? Nazis hating on gum?

 

those Americans...with their freedom, food, and gum

 

I need a copy

True. I've never run across the 49-cent version.

 

39-cent was published in 1973.

49-cent was published in 1976.

Jesus made her see the light.

 

The book is weird on so many levels. From the original concept to the printed matter.

 

A true non-mainstream classic book. Based on the content, the book should've been published in the 40's not the 70's.

 

It's a tough book, and always goes for well above guide (unless you get really lucky). I remember years ago looking at Metro's 9.2 copy (in Philly, I think). Almost bought it, but held off. Got super lucky when I acquired the copy I scanned above for much, much less (I'd grade it 9.4).

Man, that book is wrong on so many levels. I have to get me a copy.

The Cross and The Switchblade and God's Smuggler would be fun to read if there anything like Hansi

It would appear so.
