A golden age alphabet for February 2012

Here is the Torchy missing from your picture..... (thumbs u

 

 

Here's another

 

 

Now I can accept the fact that kelholt's 8.5 is a book I'll never own, but I am shocked (shocked!) to see that cheetah has a 4.0 brittle book in his collection!

 

Think how lonely she must be having to live amongst all those 9.somethings and pedigrees...

She should be allowed to live with her brittle and water damaged sisters in my collection

 

It looked like an 8.5 C/OW when I submitted it. First time it came back a 3.5 brittle so I did a straight resub at WW Chicago and got a 4.0 Brittle. Really sucks coz it is a very pretty book. There's no damage or chipping anywhere and it has great cover gloss. I'd sell it to you if I had a decent replacement.

Holy #$%^& -- copper and lead-- a classic double-element cover!

 

You're not going to convince me that daughter is related to "Ma."

 

In fact, I suspect that "Ma" is really "Pa." Good ol' Shelly.

 

Thanks for posting this cover.

I vaguely recall a Churchill kidnapping cover -- possibly by Schomburg.

You might be thinking of Sub-Mariner #3. I don't have my copy scanned, but it is the one where Churchill is christening a ship and Subby is foiling the assasination.

[Scrooge]

Is it Churchill for sure?

 

[walclark]

Is it Churchill for sure?

 

 

CGC notes it as "Winston Churchill assasination cover"

[selegue]

Is it Churchill for sure?

 

 

Apparently so

 

GCD:

 

Characters:

GA: Winston Churchill; V: Mueller (I, D), Nazis; I: Cestis and a race of sub-sea Druids

 

Higher res attached.

 

Winston certainly seems like a yellow-suit kinda guy. It's either him or W.C. Fields.
