I have a Star Spangled War Stories Question

[tth2]

You guys are good! Here's my contribution:

 

[FlyingDonut]

I really wish these kinds of threads would come back on the boards.

 

[Scrooge]

I am in complete agreement with you FD.

 

Here's a last one for tonight - Bob Hope # 19 -

 

[Scrooge]

Here's another one Millie 9. Bidding just ended at $26.55 on eBay -

 

[Scrooge]

Hard to see but it's there in this Heath JiM 10 cover -

 

[Norrin_Radd]

Very cool, Scrooge.

[FlyingDonut]

Nice books.

 

I'm pretty sure there an Action and a Detective cover. Let's get Scrooge to start a thread...

 

The Detective is Detective 160, but I can't find a scan. Anybody?

[Scrooge]

Here's the GCD scan - Thanks for the reference FD. I had never seen this one.

 

[Scrooge]

There's also this one which I have known about for a long while but can't find any better scan than this one I snagged off eBay a long time ago -

 

[Norrin_Radd]

Not a SA comic, but here is the original art to a Goofy comicbook cover that just sold on eBay...

 

 

 

 

 

There was a Gold Key Beatles comic with an Eiffel Tower story, but it wasn't featured on the cover.

[Scrooge]

Here's another - Thanks to This Week in your Collection Thread - JLA 129 -

 

[Norrin_Radd]

Found another one...

 

[Red Hook]

I love wacky stuff like this!

[Norrin_Radd]

Update for defunct links...

 

My two favorite Eiffel Tower covers.

 

 

[FlyingDonut]

I may need to make an Eiffel Tower collection. This is just goofy enough to be fun.

[Scrooge]

Then don't forget to include this magazine (as seen in the Mag Forum) - Hulk AND the Eiffel Tower -

Seeing all these Eiffel Tower covers has made me wonder whether there is any landmark that has been featured on more comic covers. My guess is no. Other landmarks I could think of were the Washington Monument and the Empire State Building, but I doubt the latter has featured very much at all, even with so many Marvel comics taking place in NYC.

Capitol Building and Status of Liberty are pretty popular. I suspect that one or more of the American monuments is used more prolifically, but I can't prove it. I had no idea there were this many with the Eiffel tower so figured there's got to be more of the others. Maybe we need a monumental competition thread?

Forgot the Statue of Liberty. I don't think there have been that many covers with the Capitol Building, but I'm betting there have been a ton of Statue of Liberty covers. And the Statue of Liberty came from France, so it turns out the French have been influencing our comics all this time and we never even knew!

Capitol building is used. It's a distinctive shape that isn't that hard to draw and there are lots of photo references. WWIII, Str Adv 121, Whiz 107, Spy Smasher 4 are ones that come immediately to mind.
