How about another Eldon Fight?

 

Fight 32

 

oh, my!

 

with that paratrooper's patch on the shoulder, does this book go on vaughan's want-list?

 

Dunno, but it's definitely on mine!

This thread needed some love. Got this one a while back for really, really cheap due to the fact that it was labelled restored (color touch). I still love it and always loved this cover. Have to get the 88 to make the matched set at some point.

 

I call it... "My First Eldon"

A better comparison...

Nice. I can't think of many other examples of this in comics where it was so blatantly a mirror image of a previous cover. It's different from an homage.

[Straw-Man]

i think that bats and robin-in-the-spotlight shot on the real fact 5 cover is directly pulled/reversed from a batman cover, but i'm too lazy to go investigate it further. at least here they changed the jungle lord's head.

Times change. A new hair style was required to keep it fresh. Crocodiles, on the other hand, are timeless. As are shapely women in leopard print bikinis.

another cool thread. i think i have an eldon timely. i'll search this weekend.

I have known for some time, a bit of information regarding our beloved Eldon books, via subscription labels found on some Eldon copies. I just purchased these 5 copies a week ago, although I've known of their existence for quite a while. It seems that Eldon's last name is Hamann and his fathers name is John F Hamann. From the subscription label, it seems that they lived in Rock Rapids Iowa. Also written in the "T" on True Comics 66 is another name, perhaps his mothers. It's hard to make out, perhaps Ava, Iva, or Ira .... it's hard to be sure. The label on the True Comics 51 reads:

 

66 5M7 2Y 69 T

JOHN F HAMANN

ROCK RAPIDS

IOWA

 

For those who feel like searching for more information, please add it here for the rest of us comic geeks
