Duffman_Comics Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Lovely book Andrew, and as I have said before, a great "theme" to collect. Any idea how many more are out there that you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 I've limited my list to books with a war bond/stamp in the cover art or a buy war bonds message worked into the art work (WDC&S 30, 31, Famous Funnies 131, Our Gang 17 are examples of those). I keep my eye out for them but I wouldn't claim to know them all - this thread has shown me a few I didn't know about. My list has 50ish books on it and I have about half. (The cheap half for the most part...) I have a couple more on their way at the moment - Captain Midnight 22 and a Blue Bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Two new additions. One of four (I think) Fawcetts I didn't have. (Anyone have a Don Winslow 17 or funny Animals 6, 20 for sale?) And this one's a beauty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 I am unreasonably pleased with this new addition to my collection. I had it shipped to work and when I showed my coworkers there was a collective 'that's so cool'! I thought that was the appropriate response.

Well, I suppose that's what the fellow inmates would say within earshot. It's what gets whispered amongst them in the exercise yard, absent you, that is usually the candid assessment of your hobby. Very nice book, Andrew. I'll take PLOD 4.0's like this one all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is an example of a comic where war loans were still being milked after the war was over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generic user Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I was going through my "non-fiction" comics last night and ran across this one. Lots of Trues had cover blurbs about war bonds, but #37 is the only one I saw with a picture of one on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 How cool is this one? Based, of course, on the famous Rosenthal Iwo Jima photo. If you check out the link, make sure you have a look at the newsreel footage of the flag raising. I hadn't seen it before, but it makes the scene look a whole lot less dramatic than the photo.

Duffman_Comics Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Great book, and an illustration of how quickly that photo passed into the "iconic" realm. I really like the composition too - the lack of background really enhances the power of the image. Terrific acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelholt Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Even though it is very small, I guess this one counts since it is on the cover. It is along the bottom in a yellow box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Here's one: I hope that Don Zabel doesn't see this thread and decide he wants his book back. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
