Very recent pick up from a fellow boardie. Took me a long time to find a somewhat affordable copy. I’ve had one circle of friends agree it rarely surfaces and then another on the Timely/Atlas Facebook page that seem to think it was pretty common. Thoughts?

it's tough especially these days ... and it is a key cover due to probably the best portrayal ever of the 1000 yard stare

Definitely not pretty common.  But I don't know that it's tougher to find than the surrounding issues.  8-11 are all very difficult to find.

Awesome book.  I may have once owned that book.  I had a copy with a pence stamp in that same area, and about that grade... I wish I had an old scan to know if it is the same copy

OAAW 112 is one of my all time favorite books.  I'm so happy that I chose it for my Halloweenized Cover by Shiverbones here on the boards.  One of my very favorite things.

Surely ‘tis spectacular in high grade. Congrats!

Though I’ve never quite understood what’s going on with that red on the cover.  Is it an explosion (if so, of what)?  Is it purely artistic license (he thought it best to throw it smack in the middle of the cover for no discernible reason)?  Or am I just missing something here (which is entirely possible, lol)?

I always kinda figured it was anti-aircraft fire??

Ah, ok, cool.  As I had mentioned, I had missed something here ...
