yeah, those are okay

[bigfiver69]

Nice G.I. Combat Greggy! They are much harder to find in grade than most people think.... and a couple are downright impossible.

 

Sweet. Are they SD pickups?

No, a forum member offered them to me prior to SD.

Hey guys,

 

A question about the Oakland war books. I have a couple of them, but I suspect most will remain deep in collections for a long time. Was there a small handful of buyers who scooped the lot, or did they just get scattered?

 

If anyone was on the ground floor of that collection, I'd love to hear about it.

Just got back from the Toronto convention, and overall not a lot of war books... saw next to NO high grade Weird War or Our Army at War. However, did score a few nice upgrades. These were all under $7, and a couple of them were $2... so the deals were there at least...

And a few later G.I. Combats...

Here's a pair of early BA Furys that I picked up at the LCS this evening. These were among the first Fury's that I bought as a kid and I've always loved the cover on the 95

[Karma23]

BTW great pick ups Shep! The OFF 152 was always a favorite of mine!

[Hedge]

Great Grabs Shep, Isn't great when you can pick these up on the cheap! That #203 is awsome and HTF in hi-grade. Larry

[Hedge]

Hey Karma23, I just love finding books at the LCS especially when you find them in nice grade. Good scores! Larry

[bigfiver69]

Karma... nice Furys.... I grew up reading them too, and I am seriously considering putting a run of those together, particularly the Severin issues.

 

Hedge.... these few nice deals sort of made up for what I think was a pretty weak selection of DC war overall. I never saw a SINGLE high grade (ie... 9.0 or better) DC war book pre-1974. Which is pretty crazy.

 

Still, had some fun and finally got to meet Andy Greenham in person!

Thanks Shep

I highly recommend the Severin run on Fury, excellent artwork and fun stories made those issues some of my childhood favorites, and still are today. (thumbs u

Here's a question:

 

Who is the greatest BA war character?

[Karma23]

Do you mean created in the Bronze age? Good question not many stand out. Capt Savage perhaps?

[bigfiver69]

Here's a question:

 

Who is the greatest BA war character?

 

No question... it's the Unknown Soldier. (I don't take Our Army at War #168 as his first appearance - I consider him a bronze age creation.)

 

Shep

 

 

[Karma23]

Ah, I wasn't even considering the Unknown Soldier. His first appearance in SSWS 151 was, what 1970? right on the cusp of the BA.

 

Copnsidering that, he has to be the front runner!

[Jeffro.]

If you consider SSWS 151 to be the first app of the Unknown Soldier then yeah, he's the most important.

 

However, if you consider OAAW 168 to be the first app, then you have to start looking elsewhere.
