As soon as I saw the cover of Contact 12 in the Gerber Photo Journal I wanted one. It took a year of looking and placing ads in the old CBG to get this one. That was in 1994. I'm sure it's a little easier today...but probably a little more expensive too I remember Harley had one on his list several years after I got mine. He wanted $1200, and it sat on the list year after year...I thought that was strange since I wouldn't have taken $2,000 for mine, and still wouldn't...

Always laughed at a woman in full dress and high heels trying to knife a giant whale on the cover of a comic called "Guns Against Gangsters". :insane:

Perhaps it's actually a 'Loan Shark'? ?

 

Or maybe it should be "Gams Against Gangsters"! :grin:

 

heels, shmeels. Always loved this cover :cloud9:

We've all seen this, but since it's my absolute favorite Cole cover I just had to post it here.

Thanks. Here's a few more from my stash...all been posted before, but who cares...

 

 

Nice copies of terrific books. (thumbs u

 

Brian has some stellar copies of some killer books. I've been lucky to pry a few ou tof his hands. ;)

 

BTW - the BB Ghostly Wierd Tales is one of the best and difficult to find Cole covers. Just throw out the guide on it. However many want it when it's up for auction decides what the value is at the moment. I'm happy to have a VG copy.

I won't be getting my copy until January :tonofbricks: because I have a PO box...

but it will be tough to know whose copies they used because they cleaned them up for publication. Many people sent in scans of the same books, so...oh well. At least our names will be in the acknowledgements in the front of the book. I suggested they put our names with each of our books, but that was evidently too complicated...However, you can all be assured that the Eagle #2 is MINE...as well as that Target V10 #3 with the airplane and castle on it...ahem... :acclaim:

 

I can provide a list of books I submitted if anyone wants to write my name in under the pictures in the book... :roflmao:
