Nice BB 105...Yeah, I saw my Eagle's brother when Adam Strange owned it.  Nice...Does your scanner do the same thing mine does?  Scan too light?  The colors on your Eagle 1 should be darker...right?

It's a little darker, but the book is pretty bright.

Its actually a fairly common book. You just cant get anyone to part with one. I know it would take an obscene amount of money to sell mine. Seems to be a common thread with bb105 owners.

Lovely books Andy, especially that Startling Terror black logo! This book though. Has quickly become my favorite BBW cover from the run. Something about the swirling linework, colors and composition that puts it above the rest IMO.

Here's my copy...

Nice copy! The colors on this cover are really special.

I was lucky enough to get mine from the 6th Street collection. It was actually the first book he listed on eBay and flew under the radar.

Mine was from one of Roy's sales threads right here on the boards. I snapped it up quickly too!

I was fortunate to buy one Sixth Street book and the colors are exceptional. Wish I had bought more.

Me too. I ended up with 5-10 of them and they are all pedigree quality. Actually, I would rank them ahead of almost all 50's peds.

They are nice, although some have rusty staples from being stored in a basement.

This L.B.Cole cover is not shown much, and many dealers do not know it's by Cole.  Like Tailspin, it was a One Shot issue (and is not signed).  I sold my copy to Pumpkin Face 3 years ago and just picked up this replacement last week.  Not as spectacular as his sci-fi or horror covers, but i like it:

This has to be the worst Cole book I ever bought...What was I thinking?  Well, I was probably thinking, uh...$10...OK...

[Tri-Color Brian]

Here's the Ship Ahoy counterpart...a nice airplane war cover...Metropolis doesn't even seem to know this is a Cole...at least not on their ebay copy...
