[Captain Tripps]

MAJOR DC WAR NEWS! Pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell, recently purchased a collection of all DC war titles and the entire collection is now live in our April DC Big 5 War Auction. The auction began on the night of Wednesday, March 29th and lasts for two weeks (14 days) until the night of Wednesday, April 12th as a separate event on the Pedigree Comics website (www.PedigreeComics.com). The first half of lots will end on Tuesday night, April 11th and the second half of lots will end on Wednesday night, April 12th. There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and EVERY book from the collection is listed with no reserve. Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $30 for this exclusive DC war auction. You can view and bid on all the war comics in the Auction Listing right now. Just go to the Pedigree Comics website and click on the Auction banner.

The collection comes out of South Florida and includes very deep runs of the 5 major DC war titles. There are almost 800 books to choose from the following titles: All-American Men of War, G.I. Combat, Our Army at War, Our Fighting Forces and Star Spangled War Stories plus a nice group of books from Capt. Storm (almost the entire run) and Unknown Soldier.

Many of the early issues of the titles are in low to mid-grade and then go to mid to high-grade on the higher numbers. The collection starts in 1953 and goes into the mid to late 1970's. The collector collected multiple copies of some of his favorite covers so there are many doubles included in the runs.

Here is a list of the runs for each title:

All-American Men of War #3-#101 (101 issues)

G.I. Combat #43-#108 (50 issues)

Our Army at War #7-#301 (226 issues)

Our Fighting Forces #11-#180 (199 issues)

Star Spangled War Stories #3-#199 (158 issues)

Again, all 760-plus issues are now live in the April DC Big 5 War Auction and are being offered with no reserve amount. There are many great issues and iconic covers in the runs to choose from. These books NEVER come up for sale at auction, especially in such deep runs.
