Tsp99 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Anyone ever seen one of these? I just picked it up. Nice! Snap was Chesler's continuation from Scoop comics. Only one issue of Snap was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Bump for one of my favorite threads… Still looking for the one where we showed and talked about all kinds of illustrated and propagandistic material of the interwar (1919-1939) and wartime (1940-1945) material.

BOOT Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Cross posting this with the Promotional Comics thread. Here is a 1943 promo comic called Cotton Goes To War. WWII era comic book, produced by the United States Department of Agriculture, to help cotton farmers produce quality cotton for the war effort.

vaillant Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Thanks for the bump! I still love this rarity of yours. I have a scarce german book that I just received which I will post. Maybe a thread about non-US comics rather than "most obscure covers", or a general thread about rarities from the pre-war and wartime period would be appropriate… And this interesting comic meant to convince readers that the U.S. had no business getting involved in the war...

There are ...according to the census... 13 copies of Bang-up #1 (pretty darn rare). More mind-bogglers: Two copies of HIT Comics #18 (only 9 copies listed in the census; also dated 12/41, ...on the newsstand October 3, two months before Pearl Harbor)... circumstances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat-Man_America Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 One of the subtlest and most obscure WWII comics, PRIZE #20 hit the newsstands a month after Pearl Harbor, making a profound statement of patriotic unity after having endured great national loss. It’s obscure because there are only four graded copies listed in the census (two 8.0 or above and two low grades). Originally, this was an Ernie Gerber Photo-Journal “No Show” as no known copies of this issue were thought to exist at the time of publication. While not a combat book, this is a clear example of America in a moment of national grief moving to a war footing while embracing pride in democracy...

A Gerber no-show didn't mean anyone thought it didn't exist, it just meant he couldn't find a copy to photograph. october 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
