Ace Comics featuring Four Favorites, Super Mystery, and Our Flag

6 6

What a beautiful book! And I assume you are talking about it being an old scan..we are in the Golden Age section after all. The comics are supposed to be old, and this one definitely counts.

Adam, I love the way that every so often you casually toss out a scan of an incredible book.

He asked for "new" Ace stuff and that's a book I had previously posted. Not that I mind posting it again as it was probably a year or more back.

I've always liked Jim Mooney's artwork -- starting with, don't shoot me, Dial H for Hero that I read when I was a kid. In going through Gerber guide many moons back, I decided it would be nice to pick up one of Mooney's early efforts and focused on this particular issue because I liked the mummy theme and the overall design and color scheme. My first chance to get a copy was many years later and it happened to be the Church copy, which I was quite please to pick up. What I liked when I opened it up is that the mummy is actually a master criminal as well as the arch foe of Lightening and there's an entertaining Jim Mooney story that matches cover.

Just arrived in the mail, been lucky, packages have been arriving on my days off. Yes, i have been cheating on MLJ again with Ace . But i cannot resist their charms!

I can add this one to the mix, LB Cole's 1st comic cover (as far as I can tell!):

Wow, that’s a very old thread – maybe we should start one anew, as most images are lost from the 2007 posts?

I think the thread is great, but again, maybe a brand new one would be better?

If not, I’ll post some of mine…

If you start a new one, I'll follow. If not, love to see your wares on this one too!

I’ve not enough decent stuff to start a new one, I’d feel embarassed.

Here’s my FF#4, with the first Unknown Soldier in title (first Unknown Soldier apperance should be Our Flag #1 or #2):

And since it unfortunately has covers detached I can show you the splash page as well…

This one has a cool Unknown Soldier story but my copy has brittle pages…

One of my favorite GA books, the previous one to that #13, which I did not know it was the first L.B. Cole cover. The inside story of the Unknown Soldier has L.B. Cole art…

Centerspread looks like this, and it’s an original story:

I thought it was too much a nice book to be a VG (the grade the seller had it listed at), but when I got it I realized it was brittle, and thus a GD at best.

I stopped trusting that seller grade, afterwards…

I am on the lookout for a coverless copy with nice PQ if someone has one…

And i have shown these before(but not together!)on the Gerber 8 No Show thread. Four Favorites 24 and 26. I'm going to submit these for grading in person at the NYC Con next month (so you'll see them again ). Goes without saying, hard to find books.

For some reason, your Photobucket pictures are not showing on this page, on my computer…

Very nice… I never saw these. At this point the Unknown Soldier was already gone, and since I was interested in that alone, I never had the occasion to look at the late issues.

EDIT: They show, it just takes time – I guess Photobucket is having a slowdown…

Ace books are awesome!

Come to think of it, I haven't seen much of Detroit Mike (OP) in quite a while.
