EBE Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I looked through this entire thread again yesterday, and realized that except for #110, Famous Funnies is flying under the radar! Here's some Famous Funnies War Bond and related issues: 93, 94, 95, 103, 116 (paper drive), 117 (paper drive), 120, 131 (a really good one!), 136. --ElJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBE Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I came across several more titles that would fit this thread. Calling All Girls 20: Buy War Stamps Calling All Girls 40: The "Letter" plus a very young Elizabeth Taylor Sparky Watts 4: War Stamp Batman 27: 6th War Loan Wilbur 2: Buy War Bonds; Buy Stamps and Bonds --ElJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Thanks EBE! I spotted Wilbur #2 just recently, but I'd never noticed the CAG title. I can live without #20 since I tend not to go for just a text addition, but the others fit just perfectly. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 I've wanted one of these for a very long time but never found the right $/eye appeal ratio - until now. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I've wanted one of these for a very long time but never found the right $/eye appeal ratio - until now. Nice copy of a cool (and hot ) book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBE Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Congrats on the Action 58! That one has been on my list for over a year, but I haven't yet found that right $/eye appeal ratio. --ElJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Another DC war bonds cover. DC, Fawcett and Dell were the biggest supporters of the bonds drives on their covers. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBE Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Picked this up off eBay this year. Mega spine roll, tear at the staple, a couple of loose pages, but I like it! In spite of the condition, this was a book that I was excited about and quite pleased to find. The second image is the inside back cover. While it does encourage the reader with "Reddy Dough" (ready cash) to purchase bonds, the art and story seem to indicate that an editor just grabbed someone to crank out a comic page in order to fill up that back cover! --ElJay telerites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBE Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Time to add to AJD's list. Big Shot 23: War stamp. With all of the war-themed covers that you see in Big Shot, #23 is the only one pushing stamps. Red Dragon 5: War stamp - blends in with the background so it looks like the minuteman on the stamp is just another superhero running into battle. Catman 17: Buy bonds; buy stamps - this one is hiding in plain sight. Catman 18: War stamp as part of the background. Exciting 38: Buy war bonds. In addition to the usual Nedor "flag" (Buy war bonds and stamps for victory), take a look at the billboard in the background. Fight 25: Tiny little "Buy U.S. war savings stamps!" in the lower left fc. This is one I didn't notice until last week! Heroic 31: Buy more war bonds for victory. --ElJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
