Detroit MIke Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I sold a decent copy of WW III when I joined eBay and now wish I hadn't (sold the book that is). Here's a recent addition to my detective run: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have missed a few lately but this one makes up for it. What I think makes this particular issue tough is that the colors were blah to start with so it's difficult for any copy to wow. My copy was a CGC 3.5 and suffers from that problem. The pale blue background field really tones down the cover's effect. All the copies I've seen have that faded / dull effect or are structurally in poor condition. All the more reasons for you to celebrate on the copy you posted!

october Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I love these brutal, bizarre funny animal Timelys. The cover looks pretty benign, until you realize the little Japanese dog was trying to bomb a school full of little kids. It it's own way it's as disturbing as a Crime Suspenstories 22, as even younger kids were probably reading books like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It it's own way it's as disturbing as a Crime Suspenstories 22, as even younger kids were probably reading books like this one. Timely funny animal comics from the war era are certainly cool - I'll give you that - but as disturbing as CSS #22? I think your reaching Andy. Nice book though - I'm starting to get a real appreciation for funny animal WW2 covers - it's an odd mix - too bad Barks didn't do some (or did he and I haven't seen them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 That Comedy 17 is super sharp. I like the colors very much on that book. Congrats on a neat book (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice book though - I'm starting to get a real appreciation for funny animal WW2 covers - it's an odd mix - too bad Barks didn't do some (or did he and I haven't seen them) Maybe, but I figure that 7 and 8 year olds were reading funny animals, while something like CSS 22 was read by 12-15 year olds. To us the Comedy isn't as shocking, but I bet a story about a guy throwing a bomb into a grade school caused as many 7 year old nightmares as ECs did with older kids.
