2 recent pick-ups from fee-bay

 

 

It seems to me that Atlas War and Horror books suck!! are becoming more and more popular.

 

NO THEY ARE NOT!!!

 

 

I concur and I would just stick to collecting DC War! (thumbs u

 

 

I think your secret is slowly getting out Dan.

 

[Fazybones]

WOW Fay. That's a heck of a haul (thumbs u

 

Thank you Richard and I'll post the other nine books when the package

arrives.

[comick1]

Eighteen books heading my way this weekend thanks to Shep letting me

make a few payments and here are a few of the high-lites.

 

Love this cover and don't see it up for sale too often.

 

 

Russ Heath!

 

 

It's great to finally replace this issue and although I miss my CGC 7.5 River City

I know it's in a good home and my buddy Mike is a fanatic about Frogmen.

 

 

 

Love this cover and this copy is a beauty.

 

It's going to be a great upcoming week and thanks again Brian!

 

 

 

A great deal from e-bay seller "Phdog" or board member Phil50. A great seller

that I would highly recommend! (thumbs u

 

Nice cross-section of the DC war trifecta: Kubert, Heath, and Grandenetti!!! Great scores, Fay!

 

 

[thirdgreenham]

Agreed! Great books, girl. (thumbs u

[Wild Bill Kelso-migration]

Love ‘em Fay!

Especially SSWS #49 and #58!

I just dig those covers!! The composition and detail on both utterly rock!

 

[Wild Bill Kelso-migration]

So, continuing the conversation, what other war books are, or have the potential to be, in the $3K club? Obviously G.I. Combat 87 is there. Would a high, high grade copy of Combat 1 or one of the other Atlas first issues get close? Two-Fisted Tales Annual would be around there.

 

We'll see , I consigned my copy of Combat 1 River City pedigree CGC 9.2 to Sparkle City comics. Will be coming up for auction soon.

 

Combat #1 in 9.2 appears to be a $1263 book. It also will soon be residing in Texas.

 

Awwww Richard... You shouldn't have! I'll be by to pick it up later this week. You're the best!

You big silly-billy.

 

Yeah, sometimes I crack myself up.

But seriously, when can I hold the comic in my hands? I may not own it, but I might still wanna drool over it.

 

[Wild Bill Kelso-migration]

Not to sound like a stalker, but I noticed a couple of nights ago that there was a new book included in the OAAW #83 census tally And, it happens to be a 7.5!

 

Thats a pretty big addition! I dont believe there has been anything larger than a 6.5 added in the last year.

 

Anybody got the 411 on who the lucky beneficiary might be?

Can you tell if it is newly graded or an upgrade?

 

Newly graded.

 

And I also see that the CGC Q 6.0 OAAW #83 that Hawkman and Peewee unearthed in that big collection—got itself pressed. It’s now a 7.0.

The 83 was the ONLY book in the whole 1600 book collection with a coupon clipped. Go figure.

[Wild Bill Kelso-migration]

I noticed that. What terrible luck.

Still, great find overall and some incredibly cool war books.

[bronze johnny]

That 83 is a beautiful book. Just to find one is an accomplishment!

[peewee22]

Thanks.

 

The OO was a stamp collector and 83 had a huge stamp coupon on the back cover.

Sorry I missed you at the shop today. ( Aren't those posters cool?)

Anyway, here it is...

[Fazybones]

Very nice Richard!!

 

 

What an awesome cover by Mr.Heath.

[bigfiver69]

Hey all,

 

I was refiling some comics after my recent war sale, and found a stack of books that I'm bringing to market this weekend... Keep an eye out Saturday afternoon. Some very nice stuff from early to late silver, with most of the DC war titles represented.

 

Thanks!

Shep

recent pick ups

[Aman619]

looking at the Capt Storm cover I was thinking boy, this guy cant draw feet very well! then I remembered Storm has a wooden leg! : )

 

Is that Ross Andru?

[comick1]

If you're thinking of Andru and Esposito, you'd be looking at Metal Men covers, [b&B] Suicide Squad (25-27), late 10¢/early 12¢ Wonderwoman, and most of the dinosaur war books (SSWS) that were NOT immediately recognizable (and usually signed) as Kubert or Heath. A&E rarely were given permission to sign their work (SSWS 125 comes to mind as a rare exception), but it's not hard to recognize their style. Their characters always had very distinctive eyeballs. That's usually the dead giveaway. See Wonder Woman 122 or 136. Or the gorilla on SSWS 111.

 

No, the Capt. Storm artist--Irv Novick--only occasionally drew covers for DC war (except early-on) but had volumes and volumes of interior stories. The Capt. Storm #8 is the only Novick washtone that I can think of.

Awesome. Definitely drool-worthy.
