Forbush-Man Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Robin Corner Shock! I wonder how many "Robin Corner Shock" covers there are? Maybe he's just shocked by the folded up lower right hand corner?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I wonder how many "Robin Corner Shock" covers there are? Maybe he's just shocked by the folded up lower right hand corner?!? Interesting question! On Detective, if this is "shocked" enough, here's the first, Jan 1942 This is the first that really looks shocked, March 1942 On Batman, this one isn't quite shocked either, June-July 1942 Looks like it's an old ploy that didn't become a cliché until the 1950s. Here's a gem from Dec 1950- Jan 1951 It looks like maybe Mortimer started it, Moldoff picked it up and used it as a standard cover element. Classic Moldoff example from March 1957 Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Dammit, now I'm going to have to dig up all my 10 centers to show. Here's a few: Of course you do! Why have you been holding out on us! Nice greytones! *Ahem* I have no idea who turned me onto this book. *ahem* I think I know -- but it wasn't me. I'm still looking for a copy!

Aman619 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Every time I come back to this thread to read a new post or two, the screen always starts way back to comic scans Ive seen before. Anybody else have that problem? It seems to happen only in threads like this with tons of cover scans... I just clicked this thread and it went straight to your post, but sometimes it goes to posts I've already read,....so yeah... comes and goes...

bigfiver69 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 The Russ Heath masterpiece... And not just a masterpiece of a cover (gets my vote as one of the top five greytones) a masterpiece inside as well. Features the very first Haunted Tank story, drawn by Heath and another backup story drawn by Heath. I know this gets into the weeds a little bit, but that makes GI Combat #87 the only book in the DC war pantheon where Heath drew the cover and all the interior stories. Absolutely a must-have book. Good luck finding a copy above FN... they are next to impossible. If I can, I'll scan and post some of the wonderful Heath greytones between #87 and #100. The toughest books in that run are #88 (really hard to find) and #91 (incredible Heath greytone, and the first Haunted Tank cover.)

buttock Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I had a gorgeous set of 96, 99-102 and accidentally traded them away when they were in a box I didn't know they were in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfiver69 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 As promised, a handful of sweet, sweet GI Combat. A couple of these are 12-centers, so I apologize. But these really need to be seen together. Enjoy Shep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
