Since I'm a WWII cover guy, I haven't made a run at the last two sci-fi issues.

Great run! Congrats.

To complete the thread, here are the last two:

 

 

Never realized that Captain Flight was a si-fi cover as I always thought it was just another WW II cover. 

Guess I never really took a close look at it and definitely not in the same league as the more stylistic and classic si-fi triumvirate of Captain Aero 26, Captain Flight 11, and Contact Comics 12.

Congratulations. All great, but this one's my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

That's a great cover!

Reminds me very much of the highly acclaimed and much sought after classic GI Combat 87 washtone cover done by Heath some 15 years later.

Needless to say, there's absolutely no better way to start off a run than with the Edgar Church copy of a book.   

I know what you mean.  If you're going to start showing a run, you could do worse than leading with a 9.6 Church #1.

I think the first comic in the run that I acquired was #6.  Woman walked into the LCS 30 years ago with a small stack of GA comics that she found in her closet when she was cleaning.  Maybe a dozen books, not a monumental find, but I snagged the Captain Aero and a Catman #10.  Don't think there was much else that caught my eye.  Later, I added the Church #1 and was off to the races.

I didn't notice this until now, but that attacking plane looks like it has French markings on the underside of the wings, and this was published well after the fall of Paris.  Interesting!  Maybe this was a De Gaulle plane?

Never saw this thread before, so congratulations!

I just picked up my first one (#5).

That number 1 is incredible!
