What GA run have you completed recently?

[Earl Davis]

Sweet covers on those Ghosts. Like shiverbones said it's a series I have not paid much attention to before. I realy like that cover on issue 2.

Welcome to the boards!

 

We'd love to see pics or scans if you ever get a chance.

 

Is your post a request to purchase books or are you looking to see if anyone knows of other covers that include paratroopers?

 

If you are looking to buy books, then this is the best place to post your request:

Forum Buying/Selling

 

Even better, is to post a want list as part of a Signature Line (you can set this up by selecting "My Home" and then "Display Preferences") and then post scans or comments on the boards. Every time you post folks will see your list!

[Paratrooper]

Not looking to buy here, just trying to find out if anyone knows of any GA's with Paratrooper covers. I'll post some scans once i figure out how to, some of these books are pretty sweet. However, I sent a lot of them to get slabbed by PGX rather than CGC. I like the slabs PGX provides, however I like the services CGC provides.

[Montezuma]

I don't have a scan handy, but here's a link to Superman 133 on e-bay

Superman 133

[Paratrooper]

Just bought two more Paratrooper comics off ebay (god I love ebay, but it drains the bank a little) Just bought Captain Midnight #38 and SGT Fury and his Howling Commandos #53.

Looking for:

 

WonderWorld Comics #9

Star Spangled Comics #91

Action Comics #43 & 123

Blackhawk #140

Adventure Comics #150

Real Fact Comics #1

Our Army At War #19 & 26

Military Comics #24

VG or better

How did you happen to figure out which comics have paratrooper covers? Seems like it might take a bit of time. We have the Real Fact #1. I'll PM you.

[Paratrooper]

To find out which books have Paratrooper covers I usually just browse Ebay and look at picks. Or I surf the online comics stores like yours for GA/SA books. Most of the time I get lucky and find one like I did last night with the Captain Midnight and WonderWorld finds. However, my favorite cover so far has to be from War Heroes #4, I'll post a scan when I get home.

[CW]

Paratrooper,

Check out All-Select Comics #1,2 and 7. They cut the parachute out of the pic but they show Cap descending with the harness on. Great stuff by the way!

[Apotheosis]

Does this count?

 

[Paratrooper]

No that doesn't count...everyone knows that a woman in a dress can't be a paratrooper....Just kidding, as I have been researching Paratrooper covers I've seen a variety of different types

1) Military soldiers as paratroopers

2) Spy type characters paratroopers

3) Super Hero paratroopers

4) and now Women in dresses paratroopers

 

In my quest to fill this type of run I've failed to establish guidlines in which comics I consider worthy in this collection. For now I think I'll collect any comic which has a cover with a person with a parachute dropping in to danger or in mid-air combat while in a parachute. Then if I want to weed out the non-essentials that don't "fit" into this theme I'll sell em on ebay.

 

thanks guys for the help

[Apotheosis]

Aaww... come on... she's doing the military a service... notice how she is distracting the japanese plane while the P-40 swoops in behind for the kill. It's a perfect set up

 

Good luck with your quest though. I'm betting that 5 years from now you'll still be finding comics that fit your collection that you never saw before. It seems like GA covers constantly pop up that I've never seen. Makes it fun.

[Paratrooper]

Fun? try addictive. By the way you are looking for Wings comics? I think I have a couple graded for sell in my ebay store. Ebay ID vaughnwarren.

 

I might just buy that Rangers comic you posted anyway. My grandfather was a plane mechanic during WWII....maybe that's another run I can gather...

[HouseofComics.Com]

So now fighter pilots who have been shot down and are being strafed as they parachute are in!

(I'll get back to you on that Real Fact btw)

[Paratrooper]

oh, man me thinks I am getting in over my head (or wallet?) with this run I am trying to build.

[selegue]

Are you looking for humor or just "serious" paratroopers?

[Paratrooper]

That's pretty cool, I think I'll find that one for my collection. Although, this is not a paratrooper cover. A paratrooper is where a person is jumping into combat, not ejecting from harm like a destroyed plane. Man I'm sounding a little dorkish now....thanks guys

I realized that later -- what's the right word? Parachutist? Descent artist? Splat-ola in training?
