Nice ones, guys! This one's my personal favorite of the Fawcett war books.

That is great!!!!

 

Senator McCarthy must have been overjoyed when he saw that on the newstands :grin:

 

That's why I love it. It's such an indicative relic from that era--about as explicitly propagandistic as you can get, I'd say. I remember seeing it in the Gerber Guide about 20+ years ago and putting it on my wantlist. Then I found it in (of all places) a box at my LCS (after the owner--a war collector himself--scored a bunch of Salidas for his own collection). It was an outrageous $22.00. :cool:

Here are a few more non-DC/non-Atlas Salidas.

 

Adding to my shame of selling the Salida War 11, I also sold the Salida Foxhole 4. :cry:

Love that book, Dan. The colors and the squish graphic that expresses the moment of impact for that rifle butt are reminiscent of underground comics that came out more than a decade later.

Yeah! And check out the guys face and flower in his helmet! Just weirdo. The colors are so out of place on a war book.

None of these are Salidas, but I like straying away from those boring DC war books every now and again.

:takeit: River City?

 

Not sure. It doesn't have quite the transfer staining/bleeding from the inside front cover colors to the outside cover (or vice versa) as is often typical of RCs, so I doubt it, but it could be some kinda OO collection of note. The scan seems to show a bit of inside color underneath, but I think that's just normal transparency with a white cover. Does that notation look familiar? It came from ebay awhile back and one of those few books that you get that are strictly graded.

Oh yeah, I remember those. Got a dozen or so from there IIRC.

Thanks Scrooge and thirdgreenham!

 

I am hoping that I can find some nice copies at affordable prices...I would really like to buy 1 or 2 of the 10 cent issues but I know how rare those are. The wash tone covers are absolutely gorgeous...I think GI Combat # 78 is my favorite cover of all.

 

 

I'll have another sale coming up soon, Jay. I'll be sure to make a post here when it's ready to go. There'll be some nice deals, I'm sure. (thumbs u

many thanks thirdgreenham!

 

Here I am in the VCC. Just so you know, if you want to buy someone's stuff in the VCC, you have to do it through PM. Don't post :takeit: in the thread. 2c There are others set up in the VCC offering war books, so don't forget to look around. (thumbs u

Anybody going to San Diego Comicon?

 

This is on-topic, because I'm inviting anybody who'd like to come to show up at our annual Big-5 war comics banquet on Thursday July 22 at 7:45. We're holding it at Filippi's in Little Italy on India Street (as is the custom).

 

PM me if you can make it and I'll adjust the reservation head-count accordingly. Last couple years, Russ Heath has shown up and dropped a bunch of Heath-esque one-liners. Hopefully, we'll get him out again.
