Paratrooper covers RUN

[Paratrooper]

This next book I had my eye on ever since I saw it at Bob Beerbohm's booth at the mid-ohio con last year. It is actually part one of a story arc that continues decades later in Showcase #50. I offered a absurd offer to Bob, thought he actually might get offended. He counter offered with a more reasonable $. So I bought it. What was really bugging me is that I hate reading part 2 of story arcs without reading part 1.

Next are a few books picked off on the boards that didn't require me to reach into the bank. Fairly cheap and great reads. I love these boards...

[Paratrooper]

I wish all my paratrooper books cost me only $5 a pop....like this one.

Cheap is good when the cover looks this one does!

[Paratrooper]

Cheap is good when my WTB list is still very extensive.

Now why would I ask that question

[seank]

Did you pick up Spriit #7, now on the newstands? Hard to see from this image, but those are bikini babes parachuting onto the beach to nab the Spirit.

 

[Paratrooper]

Cool! Have to add that to my want list, I don't have a LCS near me...not that I know of anyway. Have to pick that up sometime. Thanks for the heads up.

No, then he "finished" and threw away that GA comic "Young Lust"

Here's some interesting stats on my collection. Once I figure out how to make a graph I'll use it to make a visual on how many trooper books were printed in each year (at least the ones I've identified anyway)

[adamstrange]

Cool! You're definitely making progress in all decades!

[Paratrooper]

Bought this months ago, just forgot to add it to my thread....I think I have a few more I forgot to add....

 

Ace Comics 105

[Paratrooper]

Not a paratrooper book, but kinda relevant being the first full comic devoted to war. Won only $33 on Heritage (now here's a book Metro failed to get and jack up 5x on their site)

 

War Comics #1
