The text blurb is a little big, but that's a very nice cover! 893applaud-thumb.gif

I picked up a few more issues of Smash last year. Not enough but now I know there are a bunch of Cole fans out there bidding against me.

 

This is one I have had for a while but I still like it.

Those are all great images BB Gun ...and you picked two of my favorite Cole Police covers (25 & 26) to boot!

 

This copy of Silver Streak #7 isn't the Mile High book that I regrettably sold long ago, but it's almost as nice in every way. :cloud9:

 

While there are several GA books in my collection that I like almost as much, this remains my fave, with a spectacular Jack Cole cover and four awesome Cole illustrated stories (38 pages of Daredevil, Silver Streak, Dicky Dean and Pirate Prince)...

For Cole fans, it just doesn't get much better than this! :luhv:

I've shown this picture on the boards before, but it needs to be added here as well. This is my little Jack Cole holding a comic by his namesake.

 

So who else has saddled their children with comic related names? I know there have to be a few Kirbys out there...

Voyages II

 

--And yet this great wink of eternity,

Of rimless floods, unfettered leewardings,

Samite sheeted and processioned where

Her undinal vast belly moonward bends,

Laughing the wrapt inflections of our love;

 

Take this Sea, whose diapason knells

On scrolls of silver snowy sentences,

The sceptred terror of whose sessions rends

As her demeanors motion well or ill,

All but the pieties of lovers' hands.

 

And onward, as bells off San Salvador

Salute the crocus lustres of the stars,

In these poinsettia meadows of her tides,--

Adagios of islands, O my Prodigal,

Complete the dark confessions her veins spell.

 

Mark how her turning shoulders wind the hours,

And hasten while her penniless rich palms

Pass superscription of bent foam and wave,--

Hasten, while they are true,--sleep, death, desire,

Close round one instant in one floating flower.

 

Bind us in time, O Seasons clear, and awe.

O minstrel galleons of Carib fire,

Bequeath us to no earthly shore until

Is answered in the vortex of our grave

The seal's wide spindrift gaze toward paradise.

 

 

 

and Theo from Theodore Sturgeon
