Paratrooper covers RUN

[Paratrooper]

You'll have to post the comics I sent you as soon as you get them.

I forgot which ones those were...don't tell me, leave it as a surprise! Thanks! I have a couple of books I'm thinking about getting pressed and CGC'd. I'll post their pics in another thread to see if they're good candidates.

[Paratrooper]

Another fantastic book, that's fairly hard to track down.

 

Thrilling Comics #44

Very nice pick up!!!!!

 

I'm gonna have to get a copy of that book one day. Great cover

[Paratrooper]

Thanks SW, that's by the way is my very first Centaur book....they are fairly scarce and hence expensive. Thinking about pressing this book to eliminate the spine roll.

I would say get it pressed. Spin roll can really ruin the look of a nice raw book!

I'm still watching!!!

 

Especially when you post cool books like this!

[Jeffro.]

That Thrilling is awesome!!! (insert non existant jealous graemlin)

[Paratrooper]

Thanks guys, will be posting another one tonight....I'll leave you in suspense as to what it is, but it's as impressive as that Thrilling.

[Paratrooper]

And here it is, my first OA piece!

 

From Our Fighting Forces #28, page by Russ Heath

 

[Jeffro.]

KILLER first piece. Russ Heath

[seank]

Nice page.

 

The more I look at Heath's art, the more I like it. It's not flashy or anything, but it's so... damn... solid. The man was a pro.

[adamstrange]

I LOVE that page, Trooper!

 

What a great fit to your collection. It's about a paratrooper using his chute in a very clever way.

 

You just need to find the page where he jumps. I have seen another page from the story (the last one) so I suspect the whole story if around.

[Paratrooper]

Low grade and dirty, but my first Centaur and very very hard to find at a price I can afford...another perfect candidate for pressing and cover cleaning. (was previously in my want list)

 

Keen Detective Funnies v2 #9

 

[selegue]

I can never keep track of what page your list is on.

Got this one? Battle Cry 18.

[Paratrooper]

Thanks, but I've got that one...in fact I've got one in about the same condition as the one you just posted.

Those little mini chutes remind me of the Apple II game I used to play where you owned a fixed position gun and simply shot the paratroopers as they floated down. If 4 landed on one side you were killed as they scooted and then threw a "grenade"

 

I never got Atari so floppy games were where it was at.

[Paratrooper]

I think I remember that game, hated it because I could never bring myself to shoot at those Paratroopers.

[selegue]

Thanks, but I've got that one...in fact I've got one in about the same condition as the one you just posted.

 

It's the GCD scan. Possibly it's in EXACTLY the same condition as yours.

Once in awhile a book pops up on ebay that you have to buy, even though you promised yourself to stop buying for awhile.

 

Here's that book for me:

 

Action Comics #43
