Popular Post EastEnd1 Posted October 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2021 One interesting thing I noticed as I went through the books is that the Kamen issues picked up from the bi-monthly run of the title but switched to monthly about mid-stream... so obviously the GGA was working! Some of the WW2 era issues are really nice too... but they're for another thread. Here is a bonus cover though... #46 which led into the Kamen issues also has a bondage cover... maybe a try-out?

I was recently looking to freshen up my Ebay store and pulled an old box of golden age books out of the back of my closet. I knew I had a nice group of about 25 Blue Beetles in there that I'd acquired about 15 years ago (at a local auction of all places!), but I was very pleasantly reminded when I went through the box that the group included a complete run of the Kamen GGA issues (#47-57). Have to say, it's pretty cool to see them all together! So here you go... enjoy them! (And btw, the interior art is as wonderful as the covers!) #47 Instead of your eBay store, I hope you'll "freshen up" the Golden Age sales thread here on the Boards! Really wonderful books!

The #52 really stands out for me... just a great bondage cover. I bought the Crippen copy when Heritage brought those to market a while back... I wasn't familiar with it and it really jumped out at me at the time. Looking over the run now, I really like the #48 and #50 as well... they're very similar... the large femme fatale figures grab me. And of course the #54... love the pose and hair and curves... such an atypical image of the post-war 1940s! RareHighGrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So show em if you got em, and by all means show us your wins! You never said that the GGA had to be on a cover, so here is some interior art by Nicholas Viscardi. (He would have been 21 years old when he produced this centerfold!)

jimbo_7071 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Here is more interior art from the same issue. I don't know who the artist is on these, but the poem was sent in by Private Jack Kamen of Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Finhead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shows Kamen, who I think may be a tad under appreciated, really did have the ability to draw women with more nuanced expressions than found in his typical cover Finhead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
