Some new babies

I'm lovin' 'em Tat... 'specially that OAAW #90. One of my favorite books, and a glaring hole in my early OAAW Sgt. Rock collection.

Oh man, this thread makes me sick...in a good way

[bigfiver69]

GOD I wish I had a local comic shop that still got war comics....

 

It's probably been four years since any shop in Toronto has had in any nice silver age war books in any kind of nice grade.

 

You are very, very lucky Dmac to be finding such gems locally... good stuff.

Also, the next time a GIC 87 comes up on e-bay remind (pm) me that I already have the book.

I saw that. I would have been bidding, but the seller is one of those "US only" types.

Don't you hate that? I have lost out on quite a few last minute snipes lately because of the whole 'US-bidders only' thing.

 

And dudes - NICE BOOKS LATELY. Seems like everyone is getting their share these days - great to see!

Nothing like a killer run of Mlle. Maries to start the day! I wish they'd carried the series on longer than that. They should've started the dinosaurs later and let Marie run for at least another 10 issues--one of the smallest runs of anything in ALL of the DC universe.

I thought some of the SA War guys might want to participate in this.

Yep, its that time of year folks. Time to dust off those Atlas war covers & polish those Timely Schomburgs with Nazis being blown to smithereens to a fine shine, because the 2nd Annual Memorial Week Post-A-Thon is coming.

 

For those who weren't here a year ago, the concept is simple. We pledge an amount per war cover that we are willing to donate to the veterans organization of our choosing (typically, a dime per cover). Or we make a standard flat pledge.

 

We then overload the thread with as many Golden Age war covers as we collectively own, of all grades and publishers. The goal is to raise some money and get it into the hands of organizations that deal exclusively with vets, in honor and remembrance of their service and sacrifice to this country.

 

Last year, we raised $1,900 in donations to various Veterans groups, and I'm looking to beat that this year by at least $1k. In the process, we got to share in some of the best war covers of the 40s and 50s. (Richie Evan's collection of Timelys is not to be believed \(worship\) )

 

The Post-A-Thon will kick-off on the beginning of the Holiday weekend (Friday, May 23rd) and go all the way up to actual Memorial Day (Friday, May 30th).

 

I will have more information and places to donate in this thread within the week.

 

 

It's okay if you don't have GA war books to post -- you can participate by posting war books from another era or just by pledging.

Dont forget SSWS #90. Although this one is tough to get because its the first app/cover of the WAR BEFORE TIME series, there is a great Marie story in this one as well.

Here are a couple of Barney Barker issues.. wonderful Severin covers. I would love to see some more of these "funny' war books posted...Salior Sweeney, Sgt. Bilko, etc.
