Nearly a 20 year pursuit comes to an end - The Nedor Heroes Are Complete 4 4

[telerites]

Starting the Startlings with #1-3

[telerites]

4 thru 7

[telerites]

8 thru 10.  #10 is the first appearance of the Fighting Yank

11-15.  #15 was the last book I needed to complete the entire collection.  Earlier this year, all within a month of each other, I picked up two coverless copies (bottom two pics) and then a raw, restored copy.  I would love for this collection to be PLOD free but no way I can do that copies come up so rarely of some of these books and I am both exhausted and flat-walleted.  

By the way, Ed Wexler's art has a certain appeal to me just like Kin Platt.  Both should get more credit. I also believe #14 is one of the most common issues (especially in high grade) of at least this series.  I haven't checked the census - just from what I have seen.

16 thru 20.  19 and 20 are fabulous covers, imo.  And 18 is the first appearance of Pyroman.

21-25 a robust assortment of war covers.  The 23 is the Ohio ped.  

 

[telerites]

26 thru 29.  26 from the Lloyd Jacquet collection.  More war-cover themed goodness.

[telerites]

30 thru 35 - yet more great war covers.  I liked through much of the war themed covers, FY and Pyroman rotated covers.  

 

[telerites]

36 thru 40

[telerites]

41 thru 43 

 

[telerites]

And then came those wonderful sci-fi books
44-48

[telerites]

49 deserves its own posting

And closing this one out.  Thrillings up next after I take pics.

Startling 50-53

Wow!  Just great!  I love the Startling 25!  I finally snagged a copy a few months back.

Nice and congrats.  The Startling run of war covers is really great.

Great block of covers!  Always fun to see how the anthology titles of the golden age  would rotate the cover hero.

Startling is such a run of cool covers!

That Fighting Yank 3 is great.  Never seen that one I don't think.  Yet another book added to my wish list.

You know when I started this hair-brained venture, these books were not as sought after and referred to at least by as the poor person's Timelys.  But after amassing the books, I think they stand on par with many of the Timely books given the war covers and Schomburg using similar cover themes and just his art in general.  There are some great stories and splashes inside to boot.
