I saw a handful of the DC Big 5 issues in the mid-90s (when the collection was discovered maybe?). My sole Salida is Fightin' Air Force 3.  Coincidentally it was the first slabbed book I ever bought as well!

I believe I heard or read the all the DCs went to one collector who still has them.  Most of the rest of the non DCs seem tied up in collections as well. Metro had about a dozen (all non DC) for sale I bought 5 or 6 Farrell and Harvey ones. I have seen a few Dells come up from time to time. Probably the best war pedigree collection.

I know of 5 collectors who got 10 - 30 DC Salidas directly from Ellsworth and they weren't getting "left-overs" so there was a decent dispersion of them.  They don't seem to change hands often.

I am looking for a Hank Chapman war story about a soldier who gets stuck on his own bayonet and decides to shoot himself with the weapon rather than be taken hostage. I doubt it features either Combat Kelly or Combat Casey. Is there anything published by Atlas with this exact plot? It seems to me that it could be "Guard Duty" from Men's Adventures #11. Does anybody know of any other ones more closely fitting his description? It sounds like a good read!

Since i have begun branching out of war comics (into humor) i have to post some goodies once in awhile

DSCN3563 - Edited.jpg

Humor, as in the comic book issues of Mad, or the whole genre?

Ger might have conflated two stories but his description in my mind match the Guard Duty story you linked to. However, I have in my mind another story where the soldier gets caved in and then might decide to shoot himself when he hears the enemy dig in his direction. You best bet of course would be to contact Ger directly. Since it seems tough to contact him via the blog, send him a message on eBay - His ID there is simply gerapeldoorn
