HouseofComics.Com Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Gah!!! Why are my Tip Top covers full of cartoon characters instead of looking cool like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Awesome BZ Guess I will have to add Targets to the list Thanks, Bill. Target is a great title to collect. The list of contributors to that particular issue, for example, includes: Carl Burgos (White Streak) Bill Everett (Bull's-Eye Bill) Harry Campbell (Ghost Ship) Jack Cole (Hi-Grass Twins) Joe Simon (T-Men) Harold Potter (City Editor) John Spina (Little Puppet Man) Fred Schwab (Sapp Family) Alonzo Warren (Calling 2-R) Tarpe Mills (Fantastic Feature Films) That's a pretty impressive line-up of GA talent.

BB-Gun Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 You got the ad right and logically the Bronco Bill is from... I think Foster probably didn't do Tarzan by the time it was reprinted in the Single Series. Hogarth did a pretty good job Just a few more post from the leftovers of Wally's collection that I bought at the flea market. And there is one for Jack in there. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 All excellent books posted BB. Thanks. Here's what always kills me about GA and advertising. Imagine daring to come up with this ad copy about the game. The guys in the ad department went a "tad" over board here. My favorite line has to be: "Players roll the dice to pass their course". That's the most realistic sentence of the bunch for some college students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 At least one! All great covers, but the Real Life A-Bomb and Startling acid covers have a lot of appeal. Good ol' Wally! Thanks Jack Just a few more post from the leftovers of Wally's collection that I bought at the flea market.

selegue Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Wow -- amazing story. Even several oxygen pages. The outer space page is classic Golden Age! Did you mention artist and writer credits for the series? Jack Here's another exciting episode of, Calling 2-R. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 What a hoot! Which book is it from? Not Tip-Top 18, is it? Post-war GIs in college boom? "...Flunk cards keep the game full of pep!" and "the fun of rummy" (maybe not quite what they meant) are pretty good statement of some students' college experience too.

BB-Gun Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Since somebody liked them, here are a few more books from Wally and a few from Jake I would like to know more about this one. Is it an original ERB story. Pretty cool cover anyway I think Sonny mispelled his name but the book is in nice condition And like Lone Ranger I am out of here. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 here's from Boy Commandos # 2: Liberty Belle Great story, Scrooge. Wonderful splash page. The poor artist probably only got paid a few dollars for all his effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 I would like to know more about this one. Is it an original ERB story. Pretty cool cover anyway I loved all the covers but I'm especially impressed with the three above. I don't recall ever seeing those Hit Comics before now. They're VERY impressive. And of course I love the St John Burrough's cover. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 For the past few weeks I've been digging through stacks of treasures in my mountaintop retreat, exploring rooms that have long been sealed off, looking for something a little different to show you. Finally, I found what I was seeking. Here's the pulp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
