How Many Ashcan Copies Exist Of Different Books? 0

FWIW, I agree completely

 

Well, I guess we won't be seeing you in the 'Confessions of a CGC crack addict' thread (but it's OK to sneak over, we won't tell )!

how many different dc titles are ashcans and does anyone have a complete inventory of scans for them.

only golden age ashcans

Your best bet is to pick up a copy of Comic Book Marketplace # 71. Moondog wrote the feature article where he lists every known DC ashcan title. Many also have pictures.

I've been wanting to put together an ashcan gallery for a while, so here goes. I have scans of 50 Golden Age ashcans so far, but I know of about 10 more that I can't locate a scan of. Notice that DC used the published artwork for Boy Commandos #1 on no less than 11 ashcans! I guess they really, really liked that cover. If anyone knows of any titles that aren't represented (or especially if you have scans of any more), please let me know. Enjoy!

Hard to pick one favorite, they all look so cool.

[JJBEE2001]

If I had to pick just one, I'd pick the Action Comics with the knife-wielding ghoul! I've always loved that cover.

[JJBEE2001]

I've also come up with what I believe is an accurate ashcan census. After all, that was the original topic of this thread. Individual books have been discussed, but I haven't seen an all-inclusive list posted before. As with the scans above, if you have any corrections or better info, please let me know.

Most slabbed ashcans say that on the label.

[Moondog]

The All-Star and Wonder Woman I miss the most.

 

I believe there was a scan once to the Superman/Superhombre ashcan someplace, but don't recall right now.

[Ashcan/Comics]

would love to see superhombre ashcan.

Hey - you can create your own. I have to buy mine! (Of course mine are real )

[Ashcan/Comics]

which ashcans do you have,and real is perception , for example if the interior is from a real book ,and is the right pages and the backcover is a real authentic backcover and frontcover ( the paper that is , is from 1930's) with the right image printed on it , what does that make it,an ashcan maybe?
