Paratrooper covers RUN

[Socratic Wonder]

Went to the Comic Vault in Radcliff, KY...didn't find much. But found two that fit the bill.

 

this one of course is beat, but complete. would do for a filler copy:

 

I love the ad's on the bottom!!!!

 

I can't even remember the last time I won a small jingle contest much less a giant one.

 

Nice additions Trooper!! (thumbs u

[Paratrooper]

Another sweet addition to my collection...and another pedigree

 

US Paratroops #2 Bethlehem ped

 

[Paratrooper]

Seeing this beauty has motivated me to track down all the beth peds on this series...anyone know who has the other 5 books?

[adamstrange]

No. I recommend large dosage of patience.

[Paratrooper]

good advice, the seller I bought this book from had all 6 of the beth copies from this series at one point, just got to him a little too late. The rest will pop up again sooner or later.

Opportunities like that don't come around often. Good luck on the hunt! (thumbs u

Here's a cool addition that I picked up on the 'bay, and my second pulp:

Another cool addition:

 

Wings Comics #11 CGC 6.5

In your run does it count if the word "paratrooper" or "parachute" is on the cover?

[Paratrooper]

only if there is someone on the cover wearing one.

[ft88]

I'm sure if it had a parachute on the cover with no body wearing it, you'd give it a go.

 

My question is - How many of the covers have the dude in a parachute actively shooting at someone or something else. That seems to be the instant classic. Tough for even a crappy artist to mess that one up.

 

[Paratrooper]

Hmmm, going to have to check that out. I have started to separate the covers by action scene...jumping/shooting, pilot ejecting, civilian parachuting, spy jumping, and more. I just have to calculate what I've got.

[zzutak]

Pilot ejecting This may not qualify, as his chute has not yet deployed. I guess there's no rush when you jump from eight miles up!

 

[Paratrooper]

Very cool book, I had it on my want list for a little while, but took it off. The pilot is not wearing a parachut on his back, he's strapped to a chair...plus the book is too expensive.
