War Comics 17 17

[GL1]

Has anybody here ever read the Blitzkrieg five issue series from DC? I've been wanting to get them to read but wanted to see if any of you guys have read it?

 

 

Terrific storyline. Very progressive to do a title like that in the 70's.

Nice stuff, Fay. Love the OAAW 29. Such beautiful colors on that books. My fav in the bunch, though is the OFF 73. Grandenetti from that period is exquisite. It took some getting used-to, but Grandenetti's lines grew on me. Most of those late 10¢ and early 12¢ Grandenetti-cover OFFs are the bomb.

Great stuff every step of the way. They look like some truly pretty copies, too. Fay, you have been on quite a tear lately!

 

Thanks Mick!! I couldn't agree more with you about the 10 cent and early 12

cent OFF covers Grandenetti drew and I love his work thoughout all of the Big

Five. He is a very close second to Russ Heath in my books and did

Grandenetti ever work for another company or many other titles?

 

 

I really need to buy a new scanner with my bonus in February and sorry

for the lousy pics you guys.

 

 

CGC 5.5

 

CGC 5.0 - I love both these covers and they are very nice for such lower grades.

 

CGC 7.0 - Awesome Grandenetti cover.

 

CGC 7.5 - I don't really see why this book only received a 7.5?

 

CGC 9.0

 

 

Thanks again Andy!! I can't thank you enough.

What a day and I received a BIG package from Andy and

he has to be one of the nicest guys on these boards to deal with. (thumbs u

 

 

Here is one book and I will fire up the scanner and camera tomorrow

to show a bunch of very sweet books. Thanks again Andy!!

 

 

That is one fantastic flamethrower cover!

[Allen James]

You really made out! Congratulations!!

Hey all,

 

I spent a little time over the holidays with my collection, and realized I hadn't posted a lot of books. In particular, this nice little OFF run (many of which came from Andy Greenham... thanks man!)

 

This first one was an ebay find, and while it wasn't super cheap, it was definitely a nice affordable mid-grade copy. Nice to know good deals are still to be had on ebay.

This is it for now!

Nice stuff Shep. I keep going back and forth about wanting to sell what few early OFFs I have.

[adamstrange]

Sweet Grandenetti cover!

 

[Jeffro.]

His cover compositions were unusual and inventive. Much different than both Heath and Kubert.

Thanks man. BTW, If you ever decide to let 'em go, give me a shout!
