selegue Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I sure can't concentrate today. Uploading some recent wins (seller's scans) will help, right? Here's an unusual quartet of Golden (or Atomic) age ACGs. Operation: Peril 1, 3, 4 and 7, a title that you (or maybe I) don't see very often. Classic Ogden Whitney covers. ... Possible Short Bus fodder rescued by the bizarre scene on #4. An astronaut and his hot red-headed babe attacked by aliens. Nothing unusual there except that the aliens look like they're visiting from a Sprang Batman cover, the woman is shooting one of them at close range with a good ol' pistol, and her man is delivering another one an all-American punch in the schnozz. That'll teach 'em! My favorite cover of the run. ... Cool books. I especially like the #4 Thanks, Bill (and Matt earlier). Offbeat series. #4 is my favorite too. Now that I missed out on #9 I'll probably end up hunting for it and paying more than the copy that got away %^&@! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonds25 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Two more purchases from Metropolis today....how can you go wrong with Schomburg and L.B. Cole (thumbs u Both are great, but it's always nice seeing obscure L.B. Cole covers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonitecomics Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 That's exactly why I bought it....never seen it before.......it looks like a nice cover, good high grade and it wasn't multiples of guide.....all good things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Way to go, Steve. That's a run (Harlequin covers) I've contemplated pursuing! There's something about those late 40's female characters that really appeal to me. I'm a big fan of Sun Girl, Miss America, Golden Girl, Blonde Phantom & Namora as well. Harlequin works for my D.C. femme fatale. <3 <3 Thnx Bob - I'm starting to get hooked, as well. you are making me want to track down all the Harlequin covers! Pardon me sir - please allow me to assuage your anguish with this (another new arrival yesterday - why, it's just like Christmas!): First time I have seen someone post a copy of that book here, very cool cover.

Scrooge Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Thanks, Bill (and Matt earlier). Offbeat series. #4 is my favorite too. Now that I missed out on #9 I'll probably end up hunting for it and paying more than the copy that got away %^&@! Jack Ahhh, that fantastic "blast the gonads" # 9 OP. Still, the Whitney story is neat. # 1 is my fav of the batch too (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 That's the one! Your copy? Is it a "month book"? I give the edge to #4 over #1 because it's so ridiculous. The tiger story looks like it belongs in #7. Apparently Whitney liked to draw leaping tigers. Jack Thanks, Bill (and Matt earlier). Offbeat series. #4 is my favorite too.

I love all those "unpopular" DC books - All-American, Comic Cavalcade, Leading, but garish Green Lantern costume seems to make for some eye-popping colors on those later AAs. Keep em coming.

Straw-Man Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 just picked up what i believe to be the oldest book in my collection, feature book 23 from 1938. goes nicely with a couple other mandrake covers i have. cool OLD book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 here are the other two, which are much later. crippen copy on the top, and, obviously, the twilight on the bottom. i think there are 3 more feature/mandrakes, which i will have to get. if i grow weary of them, i know ciorac will be glad to take them off my hands, as he is gaga for magician books.
