Haven't seen any action on this thread for a long time.

Sorry for the crappy pic. My scanner doesn't do well with slabs.

This came care of war collector extraordinaire, Andy.

Nice book Mick. The artwork on that one is fantastic. I love the facial expressions.

Hiya Folks,

Some time ago, I promised we'd do some kind of survey on which comics actually are washtones or are NOT washtones or ones that fit into some "grey" area (pun entirely intended).

 

At any rate, what I thought I'd do is begin by gathering all the washtone images (DC only) that were cited throughout this thread and then put them up for folks to see. I got a lot of help from Collectron on this one so hats off to him for that. Searching some of these out was not an easy task for either of us. In some cases, we needed to leave the CGC boards and go to obscure websites just to get a mediocre scan. SSWS 130 was strangely the one that required the most searching.

 

To keep this uncomplicated, I'm going to post this in its own Silver Age thread.

Here's the link.

Just got this beauty courtesy of boardie Loboagain. Great colors and very white whites.

 

I'm now halfway home in completing the 24 issue run of BB Dark Ages issues. This one has the typical fantastic interior art by Kubert and Heath, in addition to the beautiful greytone cover.

Biachin' book, John!

Love those early B&Bs. Tough as nails in nice shape, too. Sweet purchase every step of the way. I think a bunch of people appreciate them, but underestimate how outstanding the early ones really are.

Have to keep this thread alive. Here is the Mound City copy of SA 150. Colors on this book are amazing and better than the White Mountain copy. This was one of the books sold raw.

That's a beauty, Ken. (thumbs u

 

I snagged an unslabbed 11-book House of Secrets lot. Bright covers, super-clean backs, and off-white pages. Not quite pedigree quality, but definitely one of the nicest collections of 1959-62 DCs to emerge in recent years.

Killer copy, Ken. Classic Murphy Anderson all the way. Awesome.

[Inaflash]

Thanks guys.

Gorgeous copy. One of my favorite greytones!

Rex looks suspiciously like Pooch from Our Fighting Forces with Gunner and Sarge. Maybe he had a twin.
