Popular Post lbcolefan Posted January 11, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2022 It’s very hard to find any of LB Cole’s men adventure mag covers in high grade so I was very happy to add this one to my collection. I was even happier that it sold for less than $20! OtherEric, Artifiction, Jayman and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Dowling Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I have a couple of those Rage mags. Very cool! I've been on a buying hiatus, but I picked this up a little while ago (it's an upgrade). Increasingly, I've come to identify certain issues as what I would consider "classic covers" for the genre and this is one of them. lbcolefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never responded to this but meant to. Back in the day I found myself in some bidding wars with Rich Oldberg - and ended up with a copy of this without the date stamp, both from the Ohio warehouse find. The seller had listed two hi grade copies, and I had won the one shown here. But the seller got his wires crossed, and I got Rich's without the stamp and he got mine. To me, the stamp meant nothing, but Rich was absolutely gutted. So we agreed to trade, which was only fair. In our back and forth, he told me that he had multiple high grade copies of all the Man's Story, Men Today, Man's Epic etc etc, and whenever hi grade copies turned up he would bid strongly on them, regardless of how many copies he already had. He alone could perhaps account for the apparent scarcity! Edited February 10, 2022 by Flex Mentallo Randall Dowling and lbcolefan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Mentallo Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 ..and when I landed a previous of this 'un, Rich contacted me to say that he needed it to complete his run, so I let him take it from me in trade. Took me many years to replace, which suggests that it's unusually scarce. Randall Dowling and lbcolefan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Mentallo Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Further back in the thread someone mentioned Norman Saunders. There is a great book on him published by Illustrated Press - now OOP but copies can still be had. Randall Dowling and lbcolefan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Mentallo Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Saunders would pose for many of his own paintings. So all those Nazis in uniform? All him! Here he is posing with model Ellene Politis, also his wife. jimjum12, Randall Dowling, lbcolefan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
