War isn't Hell. Finding 9.4s is.

When I started collecting war comics again seven years ago (after a nearly 20 year lay-off), I thought I'd be happy with a nearly complete, mid-grade set of bronze age books. Over time, however, and thanks largely to the advice and guidance of some very respected high grade collectors of this and other genres, I have been focussing on getting my books in higher and higher grade. I very recently made the decision to begin compiling a 9.4+ set of Our Army at War from 1968 to 1977, to have in addition to my complete 8.0 - 9.4 raw set. I am amazed at how few of these books actually appear on the market at any one time - probably a blessing, due to the cost. I have just received my first 9.4s, issues #236 and #244, both sweet 52 pagers. It will be an adventure, and it will take a long time, but please keep checking back in from time to time to see how the set is coming along. And don't hesitate to give me a shout.
