Only three of these in the census, this is the highest graded. It's so rare CGC put this copy in their gallery.

Hope the letterer got paid double on that one.

A book (and title) you never see in high grade...unfortunately I don't think there are to many collectors of it :(

 

Only 2 9.0's, no 8.5, 9.2 or 9.4 copies and 1 freaky 9.6

Great book! I would think there'd be plenty of collectors of that...

A book like that might be better suited for one of the auction sites rather than a selling thread here.

Thanks for showing.

Classic Estrada!

Man! Adam beat me to the punch again!!!!

Definitely one of the coolest Estrada works. He wasn't allowed to do covers very often, which is another crime DC committed. His interior work was very stylized and underappreciated to be sure. Lotsa great stuff in the Kanigher Gallery of War in the Big-5 books from approximately the same time period (and into the 70s).

Estrada was a helluva nice guy, too. Always gracious to the fans. Came to the war comics banquets with an armload of artwork he'd worked on (previous to the con) at home just to donate to our annual auctions. We'd usually clear about $600.00 on Estrada's artwork alone. The guy flooded the market with his own work, but we could never get enough Estrada war. He was a force of nature. One of the true gents of the industry.

Well, at least it was a swift end for poor Michael Collins!!! Buz and Neil are screwed even if they don't get nailed by the moon sphinx.

Absurdly difficult to find in that grade.

 

The DC counterpart to that book is tough as well.
