tth2 Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 Did you actually have a coonskin cap when you were a kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro. Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Did you actually have a coonskin cap when you were a kid? No, and I grew up in Connecticut, !. I have wanted these books ever since I was a kid and I saw one of the covers in the Fireside book, America at War - The Best of DC War Comics. Got a couple Frontier Fighters as well.

burntboy Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Did you actually have a coonskin cap when you were a kid? Daniel Boone was a nobody compared to Davy Crockett in the early 50's. Fess Parker's DC on Disney is a pure dose of americana............oddly (or perhaps not) he then went on to play Daniel Boone in the 60's. i never owned a coonskin cap, but am positive that i wanted one really bad............

SteveLRoberts5 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Very impressive run. I've always liked the title and Frontier Fighters as well. I have a Daniel Boone 1 and a Frontier Fighters 6. I've been looking for nice mid-grade copies, but they're very difficult to find. I really enjoyed looking at your run--Great Books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 bigfiver69, Really nice books. That OFF # 20 has a gem of a cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntboy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 just a GREAT bunch of covers there............. forget the structural grade - they all present pretty nicely and the colors are outstanding. i've never seen any of them before, but that #20 greytone with the sub really stands out for me...............

bigfiver69 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 bigfiver69, Really nice books. That OFF # 20 has a gem of a cover! Thanks Jayman, One of my favorite covers. The incredible thing is that the artwork for that cover (unlike so many greytones) still exists. A fellow DC war collector friend of my mine used to own it.... sweet piece of artwork!

Sharkey Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Awesome book, Dan! Um, don't you need to sell that to pay for your recent original art purchase??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLRoberts5 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Wow! That's a fantastic copy of JLA 6. Have you had the book for a while? That's the best copy I've seen. Congrats on owning a sweet-looking copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummy Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Steve et al - Why, yes! It is indeed for sale. Thanks for mentioning it. This is a great copy, but it's on the block due to my OA purchase. 9.0 is top census for this book, too. Anyone interested can PM me if they're interested.

Red Hook Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Red Hook's only graded 10 center. Also my lowest graded slab. But it sure looks better. It has a couple of big ncb creases, that did 'er in. One of only four in the census though. Colors are great! A very good looking sample. Oh, and Infantino rules.
