War Comics 17 17

[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.

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

Anyway, here it is...

 

Damn, that is mighty fine.

Nicely done Richard. Nicely done.

 

Yes, those posters are unreal. I'm going to try to swing by tomorrow... And potentially cause trouble.

[Wild Bill Kelso-migration]

Awesome. Definitely drool-worthy.

 

I need a bib.

That Combat # 1 is a real Beauty Richard you lucky devil.

 

Two packages arrived today including the one from Brian and here are

the balance of the books. What a day and I just caught my breath from

dancing around the living room.

 

I just love the green color on this cover.

 

 

 

Awesome cover and very nice book.

 

Thank you to Bill or Blue808 and he passed this one off to me. (thumbs u

 

 

 

 

 

 

This little surprise was thrown in the sweet package.

 

 

This book is even better in hand.

 

 

Thanks again Brian!

Verrrrry nice!!

 

Hey, what are War Comics doing on page two?

 

 

Thanks Andy! One more payment heading your way on Tuesday and

then the mother load of 29 books will join my collection. (thumbs u

 

 

A small sample of that awesome package.

Thanks for keeping this thread on the first page, Fay. One day, I'll conquer re-reading the whole thing. So many gorgeous books and educational dialog, that it should be done. (thumbs u

[Fazybones]

I've read this thread from page one when I was collecting scans of books

I've never seen before and you sure are accurate about some very educational

information about DC War through out these pages.

 

I hope with Shep selling off so many nice books he keeps posting in this

section and he's one of a handful of members that really know their DC War

information and I always enjoy reading his posts.

 

 

Nothing better than reading Mick, AdamStrange, Shep, Jeffro or yourself

talking about DC War. I wish Keith wasn't so busy hunting down HG 10

centers and would post more and show off some of his books. Another

member I wish would post some of his awesome collection is Aman619.

Thanks Guys. I PM'd Shep about the GI Combat 44 since I was pretty sure it was a key. These were the only 2 books the guy had amidst a lot of 90's toys and other drek. I saw the 44 and new there was something about it, but could not remember. I am glad I pulled the trigger.

 

These boards have certainly opened my eyes over the last 2 years I have been here. I might have passed on these before.

 

 

[thirdgreenham]

nice grab!

 

Also, beautiful book, Richard. (thumbs u
