AJD Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I might be ploughing a lonely furrow here, but Overstreet breaks them out (sometimes) so there must be a few others out there chasing these. Self interest disclosure: - I'm hoping to identify issues I don't know about through this thread. - Any issues I mention that I don't have can be considered 'want to buy' Let's start with a few Fawcett War Stamps covers: There's three more Fawcetts with stamps I'm aware of - Captain Midnight 22, Funny Animals 6 and 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 For July 4 in 1944 and 1945 many magazines (not just comics) ran war bonds covers. here's the Reader's Digest from each year: I've got a couple of others and sometimes think a July 1944 news stand display would be cool. Here are some of the 1944 comics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 And their 1945 equivalents: Target comics ran the 1944 bond again, rather than the letter: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 And here's a couple of other stamps issues - a Dell and a Blue Beetle: Here's one I don't have (but would like to) - the scan is from the GCD: I always thought of that cover as a Hitler/Tojo cover and forgot about the war bonds ad. Purchased off the back of a pickup truck at a flea market. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never kept a list of the war bond covers. Just happen to be ones that I've accumulated over the years as I pick up WWII covers (my focus).
