Wouldn't it be fun to post lets say OAAW 1-100 or the whole run in order with guys jumping in and posting when they have the book? We could do one a day? I know Andy would be able to do it.... It would be a great reference. Unfornuatly I would not be able to post to many....

 

Good idea for the future?

This is a great idea, Larry. I'd like to see if we can get this going too. My only issue is that I don't have many of my books scanned. Probably none, actually. This entails pulling out the issues and scanning, blah blah blah. Lossa trouble for me. I'd actually prefer to do this with Our Fighting Forces or Star Spangled War Stories before getting into Our Army At War. Only reason is I haven't started grading my collection from those two titles and if I'm pulling these books out to grade, I can scan them at the same time as well. (thumbs u

 

Who's going to start us off? Anyone out there have Our Fighting Forces #1?

I have number 2... someone get the OFF Number 1 up and we'll do that title. I think that would be a ton of fun.

 

Does it need it's own thread.... like 'Full run of Silver Age DC War Glory'.

 

Thoughts?

Shep

 

 

[Jeffro.]

I say start new threads. We could have a separate one for each series. I can contribute pretty heavily to OFF (earlier issues), SSWS, and GIC. AAMOW less so, and OAAW pretty much hardly at all.

[Jeffro.]

Shep, your tiny little Rock avatar is irritating. Here, use this one.

It's not the size of the avatar... it's the skill of the poster

Well, if you're content with a tiny little Rock, who am I to complain?

[bigfiver69]

Well... I was considering an avatar enlarging procedure, but my insurance doesn't cover it.

 

And I've heard some horror stories.

I think I put this in the Sept. thread, but forgot to post it where it counts most.

Wow Fay

That's one helluva nice lookin' midgrade AAMOW 40. Looks like at least a VF.

Heath HT, and Atilla. Magic combo!

What do you Sgt. Rock collectors consider the 1st Sgt. Rock book? Not having read any of the stories, I'm confused as to why the prototype in OAAW #81, which isn't even Kubert is worth more than #83 which Overstreet indicates is the first true Sgt. Rock appearance. And when the guide says #82 has a brief appearance in name only - does that mean it's a different character with the same name? If the the G.I. Combat #68 prototype is closer to the actual character in #81 - shouldn't it be more desirable? - or is ultimately the real appeal of OAAW #81 that it kicks off a consecutive 340+ issue run?

 

I'm sure all this has been addressed somewhere - but I'd also be curious to know what board members think.

[comick1]

Somebody else wanna tackle this one?

[Aman619]

heres a brief rundown, but Im not the authority by any means

 

#81 long considered 1st appearance, getting softer of late.

#83 Now the up and coming favorite for 1st REAL appearance of the real Sgt Rock.

GIC#68 increasngly considered the MOST important tryout Rock

#82 a filler issue with no real support as anything in particular, except the chap who just paid 6K for the HGC copy!

 

 

hows that?

[rjpb]

Good

 

Thanks - that puts things into perspective - so #83 may end up surpassing #81 in value.

I guess I'll have to pick up the Sgt. Rock Archive and read them all for myself.

[comick1]

A worthy investment. The Showcase edition is pretty cool, too, because you can see the artwork in it's B&W form which is occasionally preferable to color sheerly for appreciating the exquisite blacks in Kubert's inking at that point in his career. I actually like both the color AND B&W reprints.

The originals aren't anything to shake a stick at either.
