Great covers...wish some decent copies would come up for sale...greytones are on the list right after Enemy Ace appearances.

This is from the "Kubert collection", and was Joe's copy:

Nice signed piece. I've got a OAAW 151 signed by Joe as well. I doubt it's from the "Kubert Collection" though.

Here is my personal favorite DC War Washtone. Its also the first issue of DC issues after the Quality line folded, so could this be the first DC War washtone?

Can't count Adventure 40 either as it makes use of a similar washtone technique as SSWS 45. That's why I consider SSWS 45 to be the first DC Silver Age washtone.

Just placed this book in the WTB/WTS thread. Very early DC greytone.

Ah, SHOWCASE 3.... the Holy Grail of "Frogman Covers". Awesome book.

Woo-hoo!

I just won a 1957 grey-tone Big Town 46 for $1.75!

OK, it's only vg+, but who cares at that price?

Thanks, Andy and 'Bones.

Radio (originally starring Edward G. Robinson) then TV show about a big-city newspaper. The DC title ran 50 issues, and since it was a licensed property, will probably never be reprinted.

 

Dan Barry did a lot of the artwork. This is a Gil Kane/ Jack Adler (of course) cover.

Gil Kane, eh? I thought that it might have been Grandenetti.

 

That is a great book... never saw that cover before!

I'm with bigfiver. That doesn't look like Kane. It does look like Grandinetti.

 

Nice book!

Thanks to both of you for the kudos and art ID. I'm the World's Worst Art Spotter (especially unfamiliar with Grandenetti [sp?]) so that's the GCD attribution. I'll raise the question there. If you don't mind me mentioning your real names, please let me know in a PM.

Strange Adventures has a few really nice greytone covers. The car on this cover adds to the nostalgic 1950's feeling this cover invokes.

Now that's Gil Kane!

 

What a beauty! But then if it's the copy I expect it is, that would be no surprise.
