Thanks so much guys!

 

MrBedrock: That is a perfect copy for my tastes. Well done sir! I always liked the yellow sig on that one.

 

Damonwad: Thanks! Nice avatar!

 

One of these days I'll have to upgrade my Mask issues, and seeing those nice copies above make that tempting. Until then I'll be sipping my martini while I sit next to these 2 beauties which shall henceforth be known as...

 

THE SPIDER SET!

 

 

very cool, I have the STT 11, but need to find a decent copy of the Suspense. Grats!

[pmpknface]

Thanks!

 

And in the category of I cannot be stopped.... I grabbed these 2! This one, I hadn't seen too often before and got it cheap:

 

 

And this one I had to snag as it is an upgrade and I will now have the only 2 copies I've ever seen up for grabs:

Found a few bargains this weekend. I'm getting this one for around $10 and I hadn't seen it available before. Missing a few chips out of the bottom but otherwise looks great:

 

 

And then this one, which just gets STUPID $, but maybe everyone was watching the NBA finals or Mad Men last night. Looks to be about VG-, and that's good enough for me, especially considering what I shelled out for it.

From a fellow boardie:

 

Guns Against Gangsters v1, 5. Now I only need 2 more for the run!

 

Then a few nice copies of the World Around us:

Thanks! There's some interior LB Cole art in the Guns book too!

Thanks! There's some interior LB Cole art in the Guns book too!

 

I get the feeling that cover was just an excuse for Cole to draw ducks, or is there a matching int. story?

There is a matching interior story! I just flipped through it and quick read the panels, but I think the guy that's shot is a judge and the bad guys want to try and kill him. There's a scene when the hero even stays alive by breathing through a hollow reed underwater. He eventually shoots one of the guys with a shotgun and all is well.

 

Then the following page is a detailed look a 6 different kinds of shotguns and the type of ammo they use.

 

There's also a Toni Gayle story that takes place in Holland where, I swear to god, she yells to one of they guys trying to kill her, "Aw, go stick your finger in a dyke!"

Nice one! I wanted to take advantage of a 10% off coupon, so I pulled the trigger on this one:

Here's a 4th present to myself:

 

 

Great cover! I just love Cole's animal covers

[pmpknface]

Yeah, and I've been looking for that one for a while. It consoled me a bit after missing out on a Fiction House book too. This cover reminds me of this 4Most cover, only this one is a tiger instead (not my copy, but I have one):

 

 

Cole loved to draw horses, but he drew everything from whales, fish, funny animals, and wolves. Great stuff!

[Scrooge]

Great cover! I just love Cole's animal covers

 

Agreed. Fun stuff and I don't recall seeing it before

[pmpknface]

Not quite up to my grade, but I put in a thrill bid and won for $20:

 

[FastFasterFastest-migratio]

Holiday Comics #7, Animals On Parade, Star Publications - L. B. Cole cover art - Beat but complete

 

[pmpknface]

Thanks for updating this one bro! Nice pickup!

 

I almost bid on this, but didn't wanna pay the premium. However, it is cool:

 

[pmpknface]

One more to go!
