Here's another Jerry Grandenetti cover. It's a big-box 12-center, the third 12-center of the title and the second Haunted Tank cover as well. It's also a fine example of a Grey tone cover.

 

G.I. Combat 92 cover dated Feb/March 1962. Of the eighteen copies submitted, this copy is the single-highest graded and it has bone-white pages as well.

 

 

Steve, nice one. Did you buy raw or slabbed? I don't remember seeing that anywhere. Tough as nails in that condition!

Bought it slabbed, Mick, from Bob Storms at the SDCC last year. Took me a while to buy it. I really wanted it but we spent time haggling. Finally we reached an agreement. Paid a little above OSPG for it but Bob was kind enough to throw in the hard-cover edition of the latest OSPG and that sealed the deal.

Sweet book!

The tank on the cover looks a bit like a Soviet KV-2 with a cupola added. Course the Germans were known to use looted tanks during the war. I don't have a copy of the issue, is it a KV-2 in the story?

Just a killer copy. I suppose there might be a higher grade copy out there somewhere but I wouldn't be at all surprised if there wasn't

A little over OSPG seems like a great deal! Free Overstreet to boot??

Bought the book slabbed so I unless I crack it out--which I have no intention of doing--you'll have to settle for the reprint in

Showcase Presents Haunted Tank Vol. 1 from 2006 or

find a reader or otherwise very low-grade copy.

My son-in-law wants to go to Wonder Con this year so maybe I'll look around for one there.

BTW--I don't know a thing about tanks so thanks for the info. Much obliged.

I just wanted to let you guys know that Ted from Superworld has a sales thread on the boards right now. The only war book is a good one: OAAW 124 in CGC 9.2. Asking price is $400.

Thanks for the heads up, Andy.

I'm still thinking about it, Andy. But you're welcome to it if you want to jump in.

 

I need some money for one day at Wonder Con. Whole darn family wants to go, too.

Not aware of the title but that's one cool cover. It's very realistic. Congrats!

Yeah, I like that very much!

..and no, I wasn't going to buy the OAAW 124, I just wanted to let you all know about in case there was someone who wanted it.

Mmm yes, very nice indeed.

Here's my copy of G.I. Combat 46 cover dated March of 1957 with a Joe Kubert Frogman cover. Jerry Grandenetti does the artwork for the final story of the comic,

"Frontline Rodeo" and Bill Finger provided the -script. I think that's pretty cool because collectors associate Finger with Batman since he created the character with Bob Kane.

That's a good looking 8.0
