Somebody picked up a sweet OFF 40 last night on ebay. It even had White pages.

[Jeffro.]

A couple new purchases that hopefully will be mine very soon. These are both upgrades. I'll buy war books from this era in these grades all day long.

Great books Jeff!!

 

Man, I need to upgrade my #96. I love that cover... it's one of the best 'Oooooh, that's weird and scary' cover in the war books.

 

Nice ones!

Any of you war comics collectors planning on attending the San Diego Comicon?

 

A number of war comics folks are getting together for a banquet on Thursday evening. We're holding it informally at Fillipi's right after the show starting at 7:45 and going for a couple hours. I don't need to collect $$ from anybody, but it'd be helpful to know who's appearing for that so I can make reservations for the restaurant accordingly. It was a nice group of folks who appeared last year and there was a lot of discussion about everybody's favorite DC genre.

 

For anybody who HASN'T been there, it's the best pizza and Italian in SD AND it's very affordable (about 20 bucks per person INCLUDING alcohol. . .cheaper still if you're tea-totalling). I drive 20 minutes each way every couple weeks for my Fillipi's fix.

Geeks, Pizza and War books

[Karma23]

Another group of books picked up from October.

While not as impressive as some of the books being posted here recently, I'm happy with them just the same.

OAAW 179. One of the best Kanigher stories EVER. Kanigher used Jackie as a vehicle to explore the notion that racism wasn't just a product of the nationalism of the Nazi variety. Story had balls. Way before GL 76, too.

War books RULE!!!

[bigfiver69]

GAAAAAAWDDDDDDDD...... how I wish I could be in San Diego eatin' pizza and geekin' on war books with you, Mick, and all the other war collectors.

 

Man.

Shoot for next year, Shep!!

I'll eat a garlic/anchovie pizza as only Fillipi's can make it in your name, buddy!

Sorry, but that sounds awful.

[bigfiver69]

You could have a turd served up on a bull chip at Fillippi's, and it would still be awesome.

 

Sigh.

[Jeffro.]

I'll take your word for it Shep.

Home Cookin'

My mom used to make creamed corned beed (the stuff in a tin) and serve it on toast, which my dad lovingly referred to as s h i t on a shingle.

This is probably one of the last OAAW that I bought at the news stand.

I still like the cover.
