That's a great one Point Five.

I don't have a copy, but I think the skeleton on National Comics #16 was a nazi wasn't it?

Yep... which is a good segue to the cover below. :cool:

 

Those Zips and Peps had such crazy war covers! This is the only one I still have left, but I'm thinking about trying for a few more.

Being honest, I think I'd be a bit uncomfortable telling people that that was my collecting focus. But also being honest, every book posted in this thread is awesome!

 

 

I appreciate your honesty I guess but am kind of brought back by what you may be implying here my friend. I really don't want to get into it as that is not, nor ever will be my style but if Im reading this post correctly than you do not even have the slightest iota of what kind of person that I am. Really? you said it yourself, "But also being honest, every book posted in this thread is awesome!" Should having a focus of collecting, "awesome" books make me uncomfortable? I think not. I came to work for the Cleveland Clinic as a nurse manager for almost 10 yrs now. Before that a nursing assistant for the Medical College of Ohio. I do these things and chose this as my life's work to help others no matter who they are. It is my passion. There is nothing wrong with finding the way these baddies were portrayed intriguing. The artwork and the collectibility of these particular pieces of history speak for themselves don't they?

 

edited to add this - :foryou: as like I said not trying to cause trouble and I always appreciate your posts and your books...I just don't get this particular one

Sorry Gino, it sounds like we crossed wires there. I wasn't at all implying anything negative about you nor would it ever occur to me to do so. My apologies. :foryou:

 

Just stepping back a bit and musing out loud about what the non-comic folks that I know (many whom have direct family connections to WWII, either Jewish or Russian) would think about these covers. Some people would certainly appreciate the historical significance; others, depending on their specific family history or background, might say that they are trivializing historic atrocities. I find the covers fascinationg, so it's not something that's keeping me up at night, just a bit of perhaps clumsy speculation on my part and speaking to my own insecurities. And anyhow, I've at least sporadically collected covers like these for 15 years, so we're very much in the same boat. (thumbs u

Oh hey, here's a few more. The Speed and Pocket 'digests' had a lot of cool covers. (I tried for a long time to collect the rest of these runs, but never got any further than this!)
