+1. :hail:

 

My records indicate I have a copy of 20 but can't recall that cover I guess I'll have to dig it out.

Never see books from that run in above VF.

You can run a search on comic connect and look for high grade Atlas war books and come up with just about nothing.

 

So these two are indeed amazing and rare and more importantly some of the better covers.

Definitely two new ones to my want list. Thanks for the pics inside and out Scrooge and adamstrange.

Here's one of my SDCC pick-ups featuring a really cool Heath cover:

This cover should be broken out as a classic no doubt.

Complete Collection of Jungle Action, Jungle Tales, Jann of the Jungle, and Lorna, the Jungle Girl.

 

I saw these at a local convention yesterday.

 

Not a genre I collect, but I was nonetheless impressed with the overall colors, gloss, and page quality of the collection.

 

All from the same source, they had a stamp on the back I hadn't seen before.

 

Dummy me, forgot to take a picture...

I completely agree with you!

 

War Comics 11 sports THE classic Heath flamethrower cover, but this one isn't to bad either.

The color design was done by Heath as well. He was very pleased with his work, which isn't always the case with art from his early days.

WAR 23 is an excellent cover.

I've posted this book but, iirc, it was a while back in a different thread.

One of these days I am going to take a census of all Atlas books graded 9.6 - I bet there would be less than a dozen.

 

This is a complete freak of nature like the Uncanny in the Clink auction.

 

To my knowledge there is no Atlas book graded a 9.8.

A quick check on Greg's site :hail: is 17

Of course, I don't / can't know how consistent CGC is at listing Atlas Comics for these books and there are some goofy stretch of time in there, meaning it includes some later issues of TTA and TOS. You can amuse yourself looking at each title here:

to ferret out which 17 they are. For example, there is a 9.6 Millie # 6 from 1947 and also 9.6's of Patsy Walker # 8, 9 & 12 from 1947. Also there are both a Marvel Tales # 110 & 111 in 9.6

 

Also note that there are 2 listed in 9.8 including a Patsy Walker # 2 from 1945.

[Johnny545]

Thanks Scrooge!

 

17 is more than a dozen, but still amazing that out of all Atlas books only 17 graded a 9.6 and only two made 9.8.

 

Amazing.

 

Titles x issues per title x print run per issue = (insert rough calculation of how many tens of millions).

 

Insanely rare to have a 9.6 Atlas book.

I think that including books from 1945 and 1947 isn't appropriate when trying to understand what "Atlas" produced. Patsy Walker 8,9 had "Marvel Comics" printed on the cover. Marvel Tales 93 - 96 might be considered early Atlas but they all have the Marvel Comics bullet on their cover. It isn't until Dec 1951 with issue 104 that you see an Atlas globe.

 

The transition from Timely to Atlas is fairly confusing as it included books with a Marvel logo followed by inconsistent use of different Atlas logo's over a several year period. I think there was a CBM or Alter-Ego that had an extensive article on the evolution of the logo.

 

There are probably a few books out there that are 9.6s that just haven't been slabbed.

I have to agree on War 23. And as adamstrange pointed out, the attention to detail with the coloring really makes it stand out.
