nearmint Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 This 1947 photo is on eBay right now. Check out the kid in the back row, 2nd from the left, proudly wearing his Captain Marvel sweatshirt. Pretty cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosocane Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Very cool photo!!! Figure he is in his early 70s today if he's still around. Wonder if he has an original owner, newsstand-fresh collection about to see the light of day ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I like many of these early post-Pearl Harbor covers. There is a sense of solidarity somewhat reminiscent of the U.S. right after 9/11. Note the WW I-style helmets on the soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zosocane Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Note the WW I-style helmets on the soldiers. One of my personal favorite covers. The WWI-style helmets were in fact the very early WWII helmets used by the U.S. armed services at the outbreak of the war, when the United States had not yet mobilized. Because the cover was probably drawn sometime in December 1941 to very early 1942, C.C. Beck would have been using photographs of the very first WWII U.S. soldiers donning those helmets.
