Took me about 2 years to find a copy of this issue. But the wait was worth it!!! It is as if it was just bought off the stands!

That's a beautiful copy Mark. Congrats! What do the insides look like? I have never seen it before and wonder how boys and girls can help win the war.

 

The insides are gorgeous. White as snow. There are multiple stories about donating money (and a list of what $ would buy what type of ammo, armor, etc), exercising and joining civic organizations, etc. Very cool book.

Congrats Mark. There were 2 copies on eBay over the last month. This must be the first one that sold. 893applaud-thumb.gif

 

Go ahead and show the back cover with those coupons. That'll give Mr. BedRock an idea of the content. What's the content anyway? popcorn.gif

 

And on a lower note, here's the book that got me excited today yay.gif

2, really? Surprising that I didn't catch the other one with my search. Have a link?

 

I can't find it but the second copy was up about a week after yours and a far lower grade.

Another issue that required searching. I needed a cover in nice shape so I can frame it on my office wall. As many of you likely know, Charles Moulton (a/k/a William Marston), the creator of WW, was also the "father" of the modern day lie detector device. I've spent several years challenging the federal government's pre-employment polygraph program because it is based on as much fiction as our darling WW.

 

Interestingly, other than the cover and the introduction to one of the stories featuring a similar image, there is no mention of the lie detector device in the entire book!

I couldn't agree with you more on the polygraph....awesome cover too....not to mention if a polygraph can't even work on wonder women herself how can it work on government employees 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

It seems a bunch of folks got together to make this a comic book weekend! Hope everyone had fun. During our gathering there was a little accident and a couple of my boxes spilled.

Amazingly, some of the books leaned themselves up against boxes, while other spread out into a nice display across the floor. I'm still a little bit bewildered......................

Hmmm...

 

Comics look nice in those things.

 

So, I suppose those are the Mylar whatchamacallits and backing boards I've heard so much about??

 

I think I should give them a try. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

They make everything very shiny!

 

Shiny........and SAFE! grin.gif

Mike

Don't know who bought the unrestored 6.0 but I'll be picking up the restored 7.

 

The unrestored 6 was a stretch too far.

yeah...it sold last month or earlier, but only Metro knows who, as I have not seen anyone with it...shoot stephen or vin an email, I am sure they can get you one...

Bought this one from Chris thumbsup2.gif at the VCC last month. Have always wanted a copy of it...graded as a blue 5.5 with cream to off white pages. Nice to have it. Not too many copies on the census...when is the movie coming out??? grin.gif
