keeping this alive:

 

Don't worry! I'll still be posting scans from my collection in December.

 

 

Here now are scans of the comics from my collection cover dated January 1956:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here as well are the half dozen comics from January 1956 that I'd most like to add to my collection:

 

 

Mmmmm, Lorna!

 

 

Gritty Atlas war tales from Korea!

 

 

Mmmmmm, Nyoka!

 

 

Oh man! Too cool with the goat and all!

 

 

I'm getting hungry! I've been heavily into Dagwood sandwiches lately.

 

 

Wow! Who knew that Quality war comics were so gritty?

This is the mega rare James Frost pedigree!!!

 

 

Speaking of pedigrees for Atlas comics, which pedigrees include a good cross section of Atlas and other fifties comics? It seems to me that pedigrees are either Golden Age or Silver Age, while the Atomic Age is missed.

 

 

Bethlehem, River City, Circle 8, ....probably a few others...... 50's books GOD BLESS....

Here's another from the post-code fantasy atomic age nether zone, including Jack Kirby, Gene Colan, Dave Berg (!) and Paul Reinman, who I think gets a bad rap. Astonishing #56 from Dec. '56:

095 prefix serial numbers are tight books. I've got a 3.5 ASM 1 that is an 095, same story.

 

That's a NICE looking 3.0.

Here now are scans of the comics from my collection cover dated February 1956:

 

 

 

Here as well are the five comics from February 1956 that I'd most like to add to my collection:

 

 

Hey! An actual Apache? Wow!

 

 

I love those MiG covers!

 

 

I seem to be the only remaining fan of DC funny animal comics. Sad.

 

 

Disney plus diner equals big hit with me!

 

 

Mmmmm! A gritty Atlas western with Joe Maneely cover art!

And another western. It's a bit of a beater but it's 1956. I don't think the cover is one of Severin's stronger efforts.

I think that cover is great!

[Hepcat]

Yeah, I really like it too!

Hepcat, you've got some absolutely gorgeous raw books!

[Hepcat]

Here's a scan of the only comic in my collection cover dated March 1956:

 

 

 

It was another great month for comics though. Here are pictures of the six I'd most like to add to my collection:

 

 

Joe Maneely was a true master at his craft. Had he not suffered an untimely demise, he might have stayed the star of Marvel's bullpen through the Silver Age. Had I seen covers like that as a kid, Wyatt Earp would have become my favourite cowboy hero!

 

 

Wow! Talk about obscure! And I love that mushroom cover.

 

 

Awwwww! Another Rex the Wonder Dog cover that knocks it out of the park.

 

 

Did I ever mention how I love those mushroom covers?

 

 

Great composition! I badly need to add this one to my collection of Lone Ranger comics.

 

 

Mmmmm Uncle Scrooge, a nice one!
