Railfans+Comics: Collecting Railroad Themed Comic Covers

73 posts in this topic

I have an obscure promo comic called George Washingtons Railroad.

The cover has George overlooking the construction of the railroad, with a steam ship sailing on the nearby river. Seeing how Mr Washington died long before steamships were invented, I tend to think the comic is not very historically accurate.

 

not as obscure as you think considering someone posted the image in this thread previously

Since this thread started, I eventually DID pick up an Action Comics 41.

I also picked up this copy of Human Torch #22 and added a couple of modern issues like Superman: The Man of Steel 81.

I do recall that Batman #304 has Batman in a Railroad Roundhouse against the Spook but it doesn't show on the cover...does that count???
