What Hitler And Axis Covers Comics Do You Have? 11 11

[BB-Gun]

Droids?

 

They are pretty expensive for me but I would like to have a #10-13 sequence of Zip some day. I need the Inferno storyline as I was dreaming of publishing some Biro stuff here in Italy.

 

I take the opportunity to ask: is the National Comics #18 you have incomplete? I saw you posted a group pic in the "missing parts" thread.

 

The National 18 is incomplete. All the comics in the picture are incomplete and are mostly bits and pieces.

Wow! Great array of books BB. I like that Pocket, and I've always been a fan of the Sun Girl 2 cover on the subway....

I was very excited to get these in hand today. The DDBH is a book I've wanted since I was a very young collector. Thanks to a boardie for both.

Thank you.

All-time classic. Crack that sucker out & read it!

Hey Dan, I'd love to but fortunately there's Digital comic Museum so I don't have to. ( I know it's not quite the same though)

Hey Twissty, what a nice #1. I don’t know if I’ll ever buy one, it’s a little too expensive and I prefer to give precedence to #10 and #4, which I still miss.

 

And yes, it’s not definitely the same thing to read the scans. I am thinking to replace my #2 (which is CGC) with a raw copy to have it handy to read.

Here is one of the scans that I made of the National 18 splash.

Those Lou Fine stories, and their coloring as well, are so accomplished you gotta love them…

[Twistty1]

Will Eisner

[vaillant]

Most likely, #18 was chiefly Fine, although I am sure it’s Fine/Eisner and/or a combination of the studio talents for many other National issues…

Oh, I was just looking at the top of the page BB scanned and it said Eisner... But you're right though the pencils and inks were done by Fine.

Yes, all Uncle Sam stories are signed by Eisner, but very little show only his hand. Very likely, they were quite a teamwork at the studio, but this is so inequivocably Fine.

After Fine, many are by the great Reed Crandall, different style, equally awesome!

 

The Ray, on the other hand, was signed "E. Lektron", but still Fine.

Really nice Superman 17 in the HA auction. I love this book for Hitler/Axis covers, and still somewhat undervalued imo. I think with the movie coming out this book should be due for a spike, especially with how Hitler covers are selling lately. White pages to boot.

 

Superman 17

I prefer other, later, Superman war covers. This is nice but the covers parodying Hitler/Tojo (and occasionally Mussolini) have been done several times.

[SammySamSam]

Thanks Vaillant! I half-jokingly say morbid as essentially, these wartime caricatures depict my family background. But I do find these WWII covers fascinating and humorous!

 

I was also looking for non-satiric books on the Japanese-American experience during the war and found one, EC's Frontline Combat 5, which featured a lead story on the 442nd (the famed Japanese-American combat unit). Anyone know of others?

 

Another of my favorite covers. Too bad about the tape, though...

 

 

i love the colors

[Timely]

Here is a favorite of mine. Pretty rare too. It's the only graded copy!
