Very nice.

Nice books! I've been waffling on grabbing the lower grade Flaming Western on eBay for a while, myself- it's the last LB Cole Target cover I need, even if the book is no longer Target at that point.

Thanks man. I can take more pics of the inside if you want. I'm very happy with it!

Here's a couple odd ones I just picked up in a collection...

Nice. I hadn't seen those before.

[pmpknface]

Nice. I hadn't seen those before.

 

Me neither! I'll have to add them to the list.

Heres a couple more interesting and obscure Cole covers:

 

 

One-handed rifle shot while stiff-arming a polar bear!

One of my favorites:

 

 

Cool little pulp digest, Cole didn't do the art but was the editor on this one!

[pmpknface]

I've seen a few of them, not the gator cover. He edited a TON of those style of mags. I haven't picked up any yet. Yet, of course, being the key word there. If I'm not getting comics I'd rather get some of his other digest covers as most are even older than his comic work.

 

So much time, so little $$$...

Great cover! I've been lurking around this thread for a bit and you (and others here) have a very nice collection of L.B. Cole covers.

 

Congrats!

Great cover.

 

Similar style here, not sure if this is Cole or not. Pmpknface, I'm guessing you might know. If not an idea who this artist is?

 

[pmpknface]

Thanks guys! I'm up over 200 and counting.

 

I'm not sure who did that Billy the Kid cover. I can see where it has similarities of many funny animal covers of the time, even to the one I posted above, but I doubt it's Cole. Even when Cole drew horses he usually drew the anthropomorphic ones like real ones (see above!). He loved horses. Really, lots of artists were able to draw those "cutsie" looking animals with those big eyes and what not. I also don't know if he ever did any work for Fawcett. If I come across any info on this I'll post it though!

31 has always been my fav, but this cover is growing on me. (I realize the book may have moderate amateur restoration and several clipped coupons, but I don't plan to CGC it any time soon. Ignorance is bliss!!!)
