Norrin_Radd Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Cool, inexpensive EC war. Can't wait to read it. I like any WWI flying cover/story. I need to check out Two-Fisted Tales. They'll probably be the next EC reprint set I buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I like any WWI flying cover/story. I need to check out Two-Fisted Tales. They'll probably be the next EC reprint set I buy. then you should try G-8 and his Battle Aces pulp, nothing but WWI flying stories written by a WWI pilot veteran giving you that authentic feel contemporary authors can only dream of and I'm sure you've an eye on this: EC-Archives-Two-Fisted-Tales.

TheEyeSees Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) Wow, now I want to start collecting G-8! I have always thought the cover art on those pulps was very strong. Well, the FedEx man was kind to me today... after a few months of time payments, I got my SILVER STREAK #6. A lower grade copy, but solid, with nice paper. And the art inside is fantastic... really top notch stories (two by Cole I believe), esp. the PLANET PATROL strip, which features giant star-fish/octopus men!! And the cover speaks for itself... I would have just bought the cover. Edited November 16, 2006 by RyanH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentaurMan Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Awesome!! Plus that's a "Harold" book. I've seen his nice calligraphy on a number of issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEyeSees Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Thanks guys! Its a really nice book, inside and out. And yes, the "Harold" signature does kind of add a "cool" factor to the book I think. Many would see it as a negative aspect, but I love covers that kids have scribbled their names on. It gives the books some personality and history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Silver Streak 6 is an all-time classic, Ryan. I'm sure that you'll get tons of enjoyment from the book. Isn't the Golden Age just great! Now you need to look for a Silver Streak 7 (lots of Cole). STEVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJBEE2001 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Another ashcan arrived today. It's amazing how many use the cover art from Boy Commandos #1. The guys at DC must have absolutely loved that cover. Although the fact that it's by Simon & Kirby makes that pretty easy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there just happens to be a (restored) copy of SS #7 on Heritage right now, and its killing me!!! Would love to bid, but I'm basically done for the year (and a good part of 2007 also) (** excluding AMF vol.2/#5 of course!). Oh well, I'm sure it will come up again. (missed out on the dentist's copy, which sold under guide!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Surfer Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 One of the few books that I would ever buy with detached pages (my Marvel Mystery #4 is the other one). Might have to crack this out and get the pages fixed professionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
