october Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Whitney had some great covers, including the Lunatic romance cover that's under-appreciated, probably because it's so tough to find. Good mail day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryw7 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 These should be listed as big fish that got away. Well maybe not so big but I have been trying to get this group into my collection for a while. Ad is from All Flash 8. I only have one in decent shape. Star Spangled.

cheetah Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 This came out of an estate sale of an aviation hobbiest, I paid 100.00 for it. not a bad copy at all. Suprizingly white for its age 1941 Too cool, and I think $100 is a great deal considering how pristine that looks. I agree. $100 is a wonderful price for that book. Ogden Whitney is under appreciated, I think. Maybe because he spent most of his later career toiling in relative obscurity at ACG. $100 qualifies as a steal.

Only in GA can you get logos like that. I really like the primitive feel of a lot go the 1940 books. It didn't take long for artists to gravitate towards a similar style in comics. 1940 seems to be the time artists would draw something without a lot of influence from the broader community.

adamstrange Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I think you did well with that copy of Whirlwind 1. It looks to be a particularly attractive 8.5 and I say that even after inspecting the Church copy closely last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
