I know I have to get back to editing the "master list" but I've been busy buying stuff! Now I know that these aren't comics and I'm not going to include them in my "master" but I've been eying them for a long time and since they are so beautiful and likely rare I decided to pull the trigger.

Very cool! I like!

It's great to see some of the rare LB Cole comic books.

Very few of the hand-drawn originals managed to have survive.

I got in those books in yesterday and they are beautiful! The painted covers are so cool. I hope to locate more!

Just got this one, it seems to be the scarcest of the Target covers Cole did.

 

 

Now I just need to get the Flaming Western Romances #3 as the honorary last Target cover...

[pmpknface]

That is a fantastic pickup! I love the colors and the detail. Great find!

 

Currently en route, one of the cooler FRISKY FABLES covers:

 

 

And Intimate Secrets of Romance #1, from a rare 2-issue run:

 

 

Then of course there's what I grabbed in last Sunday's Heritage auction.... but I'll leave those for later.

Also on the way:

 

Blue Bolt #107:

 

 

Blue Bole #110:

 

 

Blue Bolt #112:

 

Also grabbed a #111 & 113 in GD- & GD+. 5 in 1 shot that I didn't have!

Sport Thrills #12, AP version, but looks really sharp...

Nice colors on that war book,another side of LB Cole greatness!

One of my favorites is Eagle Comics #1:

 

Here's Eagle Comics #2 as well. Not quite as impressive a cover, but cool nonetheless:
