Readcomix Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 And that is everything planned for this thread! Thank you everyone for the takes, looks, and Kraps! Since we wrapped up on the early side, I am going to file three recently-added GA books into my PC (Lovers Lane #8, Kid Eternity #4 and Navy Heroes #1 — cuz I’d ask!) If I need room in the boxes, I may identify an item or two to add. But I am pretty sure I am done. Thanks again, and look it over — many things posted prior to tonight have received price cuts. You never know— You Might Find It! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back cover has additional Twilight Zone material instead of ad. $100 Looked at MCS website. They offer more money on the book with Travelers in the Twilight Zone than the book with the ad. I never saw the book with the ad on the back cover before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting; not many on eBay, and Heritage had both in their archives but did not call out the difference. I didn’t notice a wide discrepancy in results.

It was a watercolor that was shown in Soldier of Fortune Magazine ages ago. "Fireforce External" by John Hopkins, who does a lot of war watercolors. As you can imagine, trying to google "John Hopkins" is a nightmare. Finally found it at a London Auction house online with about three minutes left, and of course, put in my bid. I was always intrigued by the painting because I was a smokejumper for nine years, parachuting into mountainous, rocky, rough terrain to put out forest fires. Add in people shooting at you, and you get the picture. I bet you missed the real adventure life. That’s explained why you collected the comic books with the parachute cover. it’s kinda cool that you jumped out and fought fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s explained why you collected the comic books with the parachute cover. it’s kinda cool that you jumped out and fought fires. It was a great time of life. Nine years - got to most western states and Alaska. 226 jumps, 108 on fires, I think. Rocks, trees, stumps, cactus, wind. Luckily, I think I got out with the only injuries (that I know of so far) being a concussion (mild?) and a little barking in my right knee, which I can keep at bay through light exercise. As far as the comic book covers with parachutes go, it is always fun to spot the stuff that defies the laws of physics. And a lot of the artists didn't have much concept of what they were drawing. crassus, TheComicsPreacher, MusterMark and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
