ArAich Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks...there's only 1 on copy on the census so I guess they're pretty hard to come by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBedrock Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Those early reprint books were the bomb in the early days of collecting. But for a long time now they have been overlooked. Popular 12 is from what, 1937? Seventy years old! Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I have very similar tastes in books. Are you going to Chicago this year? I am trying to get him to meet us in orlando at Mega con...turn of the heat, pons Thanks Ciorac!!! I agree!!!! I was almost sick when you sold all those Famous Funnies a couple of days ago!!! I wish I had the funds for them, I would have taken them!!! So anyway I ended up buying a nice Famous Funnies #67 with my eye on a few more in a couple of days!!! Anyway Rick has been talking to me about MegaCon, but I don't think I'll be able to go!!! Chicago is definite, looking forward to meeting you there!!!! : applause: That is outstanding news. We will have a blast Here is a nice little, cheap, book that arrived today.

Buck Biggins Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Almost Silver age....For a 50 year old book this sucker is a fresh as they come. A nice painted cover and my only DELL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Wow! You hit the oddball jackpot. I don't know what's weirder, Martan's bouffant sleeves and mini-skirt, or his nubile partner staring at his head as she shoots a smoke-gun at his antenna! I like the sylized background, almost like Infantino used later for Flash, Adam Strange, etc. Toonopedia says that the artist is William Kent, but it might be a pen name. Bails' Who's Who offers: ALDERMAN, JACK BUGG, BOB (another pen name?) ELY, BILL KENT, WILLIAM STONER, E. C. Any idea who drew the cover? Jack Here is a nice little, cheap, book that arrived today.

Paratrooper Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Just won this off of Heritage, heavily restored but it took me forever to find a copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 143 asked me what the insides of the Remember Pearl Harbor look like. It's a mix of text and illustrations and also some straight comic-book storytelling. Here's a scan of probably one of the most striking images inside, the attack on Pearl Harbor itself - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
