Alzabar Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Here's a recent pick-up. I really like the cover, but I wonder if the Fighting Yank ever felt a bit of a let down in his post war career. Saving sleepwalkers seems like a significantly less exciting pursit than battling the Axis, although the sleepwalker here is signifiantly more attractive than the average German or Japanese soldier.

Straw-Man Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 i picked up a replacement b'hem before i put my mt 157 up on the boards. i also was a little troubled that my late mt issue was technically a silver age book ['57]. this will be more representative of a "golden age pedigree."

Alzabar Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 This book is not really in my collecting interest, but for some reason I couldn't resist it in the November Heritage auction. It is a neat cover and I liked the white pages I guess. Also, with apologies to the consignor, I was able to pick it up for a lot less than it went for the last time it was auctioned.

Alzabar Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 One more. This is the only Phantom Lady that I own. While I have not actively pursued them, #21 does seem to be harder to find than the others. Maybe 2 women on the cover makes it more desirable.

telerites Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 It has been a little bit since I have posted here but I was excited about this one. It is books like this that make me stray from my collecting focus. I picked this one up recently. It is the Ohio copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Kid Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Great book, Jeff, especially since it is the only issue in the run with a cover by Calkins. His name appears on #1 but apparently it was actually drawn by a young Tuska, and #3-#6 were drawn by S. A. Douglas. That makes #2 the best issue in the run as far as I'm concerned.

It's definately my favorite cover of the run and the one that I most wanted to have a really nice copy of. Maybe it's an acquired taste, but I love Calkins quirky style and awkward anatomy - it's so pre-Golden Age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
