War Comics

Today marks the 70th Anniversary of the start of the Battle of the Bulge. I hope you guys can share some covers that symbolize this, the largest land battle fought by the U.S. Army in WW2. Here's mine, they are yellow slabs. (thumbs u

Technically this is a GA book - but I don't think too many people over in GA would notice. I have had a devil of a time trying to find a higher grade copy of this book. This one looks pretty nice but overall it's a VG

I thought I had all of the Big 5 10 cent frogman covers..... But I don't have this one. Now I gotta add another book to my list

Thanks a lot Mick

Yes, but if you go by what the guys in the "OAAW #83 in Top 5?" thread are saying and how regular comics just can't compete against values of comics that have been co-opted by Hollywood movie franchises, the OAAW 83 is a cool book, but. . .(always a BUT)

Feh

So. . .can't imagine what they must think of this "run-of-the-mill" war stuff without a key appearance. Worthless drek every step of the way. I have half a mind to throw it out on my curb for compost pickup tomorrow morning.

Maybe if Rock wore tights and fought Nazi supersoldiers then he would get more love.

Tomorrow morning?! Wait a minute...when did you post this? If you're serious, Mick, I'll send a special collection agency over there and you won't even have to lug that cr@p to the curb.....they'll do all the heavy lifting.

Geez, I hope I'm not too late.

I have half a mind

That's what I have been trying to tell you for a while now.

Well, that's more than I get credit for with most people.

You're too late. It's all gone. I've given it all up and now I'm going to become a budhist monk and live in Nepal.

In all seriousness, I had a war-comics collecting friend--Alan Dulfon--who sold off EVERYTHING (including his war books) and really DID move to Nepal to become a Budhist monk.Never heard from him again. He's probably chanting something about Ice Cream Soldiers as we speak.

Well, in all seriousness, practicing non-attachment is a good thing for all of us. (thumbs u

Preaching it on a comic collectors forum may not be the best place to get recruits, though.

Yeah, that's me--the atheist preacher!

I started on this little run a few months ago. Pretty stoked to finish it. Now it's off to find upgrades!

Check out Unknown Soldier 205 sometime. 1st issue once the title switched over from Star Spangled War Stories. One-shot Battle of the Bulge story that I really loved when it came out. I was eight years old and it was only the second Unknown Soldier I ever bought. I'm sure snow was still on the ground in Michigan too, as it was probably March or earlier.
