Point Five Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 "Death for everyone was certain...." I don't know, seems like bad publicity for the Fair if you ask me. Great splash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I'll post some in the future. (thumbs u He means this quite literally, of course. He's already demonstrated that BZ HQ includes a time machine, which is how he got all these newsstand-fresh funnybooks. He'll probably stop by to visit Buck Rogers and use his Scan-and-Post-a-Tron to send them to us from the 25th Century. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 THIS IS THE MOST RECENT LISTING OF PRE-1941 COMIC BOOKS THAT CONTAIN STORIES WITH FULL PAGE PANELS That list will have to be updated at least with this splash page from Weird Comics # 2 from May 1940 from the Thor story. Also below, I show another splendid page from the same story with Thor in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Also, I figured no one would mind if I showed the "rejects", i.e., full page splash that didn't make the 1940 cut. First, from Stars & Stripes # 5 from 1941 and then from Major Victory 3 from 1945, here are 2 other nice splashes. I really dig the Lew Glanzman's Shark almost-full-page-splash - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Don't you just hate it when you're trying to fight an aerial battle and some troublemaker starts dumping cobras into your cockpit? Hate it when that happens! I finished reading The Midnight Eagle today. It has one of my favorite cover of the run - I love the background of the raging battle. Surprisingly, even though the Eagle does appear at the beginning of the story, it's quickly forgotten. The main plot point is that the Germans under the order of Herr Doktor Krueger, a recurring villain in the pages of G-8, have constructed a submarine capable of running in shallow waters. The plan is for them to go up the Potomac and abduct the President of the United States and on their way out to fire shells full of propaganda pamphlets in an effort to undermine the US population's determination ..., well at least until G-8 gets into action.

BangZoom Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) I finished reading The Midnight Eagle today. It has one of my favorite cover of the run - I love the background of the raging battle... G-8 has some of the most bizarre covers around. They remind me of pre-code horror comics except the fright is usually in the sky. Edited August 25, 2007 by Bangzoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine how collectible those pamphlets would have been? And if they had glossy covers and newsprint pages they would have been "real" comic books!! G-8, you batard!

adamstrange Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 There is definitely a pre-code horror look to these covers! Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
