RedFury Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I picked up a Spy Smasher #6 a few weeks ago and loved it so much I went looking for more. Here's a Spy Smasher #11 that arrived in today's mail. Love the paratrooper cover. I think someone else around here likes those too. Here's a shot of the first splash. In the first story Spy Smasher investigates "haunted" machines at an American war plant, and this is a pretty cool action shot of him fighting one. Of course the "hauntings" are really trickery by Japanese saboteurs. This centerfold splash I really like. Nice colors, nice layout, and I like the way the flags frame the scene. And the villain, the Man Without a Flag, has a delightfully ludicrous origin story: "I was born on a Red Cross ship on the International Dateline! The Captain was Swedish! My father was German! My mother was American! The Ship flew the Dutch flag! I WAS CLAIMED BY NO COUNTRY! For years a wrangle went on over my citizenship. Then my parents died! The ship went down with all records! And I had no country! NO COUNTRY AT ALL! I was bewildered, lost bitter... So I became the Man Without a Flag. If no country would have me, I would bow down to no FLAG! I sell my services to the highest bidder!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Nice books Ronaldo! I get a lot of my GA from a collector friend...and he always asks me to post pictures here...I'm kind of shy about posting books, but I like to post them, in order to thank my friend. MOST of these were from him, but not all, and some I've had for a while...also I realized that a few are ending on Ebay tonight (I need to pay for something else;) So, I'd better show the picture FAST, while I still have them:) So this is to share with you guys, but also for my friend Richard:) Here is the shot, Richard:) Hope you like them:) Pictures aren't too good, but the books are charming of course, thanks for helping me obtain them, I always appreciate your help! Awesome groupshot Sharon! I've been tracking some of those you put on ebay. I was very tempted to bid on the 17, but I'm pretty broke at the moment.

Socratic Wonder Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 My first ACTION!! And the main reason I didn't buy anything at the Cali Con yesterday... Guardineer cover! I am treading on some dangerous ground, dipping into the DC's ... I can't wait to flip through that one! Awesome book Ryan! Very true that you are treading in some dangerous water with a DC like that. The good thing is its like crossing a piranha filled river to get to a pile of gold.........or Jessica Biel if you are Rick Either way you are a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice its sold out on the website, but maybe a LCS has issues still on the racks. I think Guardineer is quickly moving up the ranks of my top ten GA artists ... Maybe we can convince Greg Theakston to do a collection of his early works??? Greg, you out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
