Hey gents and Fay,

 

This was just posted over in CG. Anyone know if the story mentioned was ever finished?

 

DC Special Series 13 features a Sgt. Rock story where Easy Co. is going up againt some kind of super German Panzer tank.

 

Kanigher builds up how powerful the Panzer is, and Easy Co. scrambles to figure out a way to beat it and then...the story ends.

 

IIRC there's no big battle, just a "To Be Continued..." which, as far as I know, was never finished. Maybe in an issue of Sgt. Rock?

Sorry Jeff, I don't recall ever reading the end of that story and I've read most

of my Sgt Rock issues. I'm still looking for a VF/NM copy of that DC Special

Series # 13 and I love that cover.

 

A few recent purchases and how can you pass up these books for two for 15.00

on the SSWS issues and 15.00 for a VF/NM copy of OAAW 199 from my favorite

e-bay seller.

Another package showed up with some sweet SA DC War and these BA Beauties!

My BA GIC run is looking pretty good these days.

I'm trying to complete 1 to 30 on these great WWT books. :luhv:

Nice books Fay and thanks for the reply.

 

The "sticky" on this thread is the only thing keeping it from falling into the nether regions of the boards. :(

Sorry I'll never tell and I think many members have it figured out. :sorry:

 

 

The SSWS 156 & 157 were listed in one auction.

 

 

The day before he had a Beautiful SSWS 75 in VF- condition that my good

friend Mike stole out from under me for only 33.00. :( Actually Mike or

"Lizards2" was only paying attention and I thought all his auctions

were ending on the same day. :boo:

 

 

The seller is Keith Marlow and he's probably in the top ten Premiere DC War

collectors in the country, but that still doesn't give you his e-bay ID. hm

Hey, Jeffro - thanks for posting this here.

 

I never did get around to reading those late BA Sgt. Rocks. Maybe some day. I suspect Shep could tell us, but I think he's taking a vacation from the boards for awhile, am I right?

I haven't collected BA war for a couple years, but when I did I was really into it. I managed to pick up OOAW 235-255, OFF 123-181, GIC 138-154, SSWS 151-204, Unknown Soldier 205-268, and a few other odds and ends.

 

Here's some of my key BA wars books...

 

It was thanks to these forums that I learned the importance of this first book. Hail to the King, baby!

I actually bought this one from Mile High...and it's not too shabby.

OFF123.jpg

 

My favorite BA war character. The stories in SSWS just keep getting better and better. And here's his real first appearance! ;)

 

SSWS151.jpg

 

SSWS154.jpg

 

"Now--Exploding in His Own Battle Blockbuster Mag!"

Here's some fun, goofy and weird stuff...

 

"Do not shoot, Hugo!"

 

Blitz1.jpg

 

One of my favorite Kubert covers.

 

WWT1.jpg

 

The Creature Commandos! A gritty, goofy, psychedelic nightmare from the feverish brain of...Robert Kanigher?!

 

WWT93.jpg

 

Marvel's attempt at weird war...this series is an incomprehensible mess, but it's a fun mess. A bunch of the issues were written by Chris Claremont!

 

WIS9.jpg

 

WIS10.jpg

 

WIS11.jpg

 

WIS12.jpg

 

WIS13.jpg

 

 

WIS14.jpg

 

And the final issue. I love this cover!

No problem. No one seems to know the answer though. :(

Awesome books and yes the Unknown Soldier is the greatest BA war hero and my all time favorite character- but SSWS 151 is his first solo appearance- the 1st appearance of the Soldier is Our Army at War 168.

 

Congrats on the books!

 

Respectfully,

 

John

Thanks, Fay and bronzejonny!

 

That's a pretty sweet OAAW 216 you got there!

 

And bronzejonny -- the Unknown Soldier's first app is SSWS 151! :sumo:

 

(At least, until I get my own copy of OAAW 168...)

 

I've been getting the war book itch again. I recently picked up Paratrooper's copy of the Chris Pedrin book and a GIC 103.

 

I've been thinking about going backwards into the SA/ and maybe picking up a few more early BA.

 

DC is putting out one of their B&W Showcase editions for Weird War Tales around December.

 

Does anyone know if the Losers Showcase reprints all the extra stuff, like the Toth stories? (I already have all the OFF floppies, but something like this might be nice to have anyway.)
