Here are mine, though I have added 3 or 4 since taking this.

Wow!!!! Great books

We demand a recount?!

 

Can't wait to see the updated group shot!

[Point Five]

Damn, man!

 

Now that you've whipped out your Cole group shot, mine somehow feels...inadequate.

[adamstrange]

Welcome to the GA side, Danny!

 

Here's a group shot of my LB Coles...I posted this last summer, but might as well dust it off again. I just love the bold color palettes he used on his covers...

 

 

A very different set, but all classic LB Cole covers! I'm sure there's a few in that will make October jealous.

Would you, please, provide us with detailed scans of that

Ghostly Weird "Death Ship" & that Snow Storm Make-Out cover?

THX Edit: No. Wait. They're classic covers and are posted somewhere in this thread.

Does NVRMND = Nevermind?

 

Anyways, I'm a Cole fan, myself, from way back, but mine are low grade.

I'm embarresed to post them. Perhaps the romance covers I own are rare, though.

I dunno. We'll see. Eventually.

 

Edit 2.0: WTH. I'll scan and run 'em now.

 

Edit 2.5: GD Software by HP -

Use diff. products by HP bought at diff. times and I get conflicting software.

An upgrade battle to see what loads on top.

 

Edit 2.75: God this is interminable. Reload the software . . . *choke* "Good Lord!"

He is oh so right. There are three I covet in particular.

My first golden age book and I got it from none other than Point Five.

Can't wait to see the updated group shot!

 

Twist my arm.

Upgrade NOW to version 3.0

with an added

 

Christ in a Sidecar!

 

I'm talkin' hrs. to get you this.

Come to think of it,

(and I've had time, what with this "scanners live in hell" thingy.)

I've seen these before so they aren't rare.

 

Bother

 

 

 

Back cvr of both >

 

 

I've got more but I cannot just put my hand to them just as easy as YOU please.

 

(Is my collection, then, reduced to a base accumulation?)

Nice romances! The LB Cole romance covers from the 50s are terrific and way underrated. Very tough to find some of the better ones...I would think a complete set even in mid-grade would be nearly impossible. If I still have it saved, I'll post the large scan of the "snowstorm embrace" cover tomorrow.

[BLAM_BLAM_BLAM-migration]

I'm so fed up . . .

Sorry for the massive dump with no exploratory context.

It's late and I'm on a mission to get it done.

I'm too grumpy to be snarky.

 

Whilst it's uploading, it occured to me to remember to mention that I'm including the

"Funny Back Covers" not for the humorous aspect but for the identifiable characteristics.

 

That is, in case anyone is keeping a census. Rare v. scarce and all - Gerber-wise.

 

There. Done. Here we go. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whoops & yikes! That is way OT.

 

 

Stop it, now!

 

 

OK. We get it, duh!

 

 

Enough, now, I swear.

Your pain is our pleasure!

 

Very sweet group of books you're building -- even a couple of those 40s books winking at us from the middle of the pile!

[adamstrange]

Great set of comics & pulps, B_B_B!

 

Thanks for wrestling with the scanner!

[CKB]

 

I have work to do! Lots of new stuff! I'll get to updating the library as soon as I can.

[pmpknface]

Those pulps rock!

 

Glad to hear you're still on the case CKB!

 

I've now got a home PC, so if/when I get a scanner I'll load up some better pics of my Cole books. I can't seem to get good pics w/ the digital camera.

Hi, Jamie, how ya been?

 

Hey BBB, looks like you have this one already!, but here it is anyhow...Popular Teenagers #15.

The snow effect is so cool...it really looks 3-D. Andy's Catman #31 is another great example of this trick...
