My very first GA book I picked up today.

This was three days ago.  I hope you've picked up at least a couple more GA books by now. :)

The Atlas book is incomplete but just had to pick it up from my favorite local comic source when I saw it featured a M1941 Johnson on the cover. Fairly obscure weapon that had some really cool features including a rotary magazine design. Ultimately the M1 Garand was selected over it as a service weapon, but interestingly enough it went on to serve in the Bay of Pigs Invasion by the anti-Castro 2506 Brigade. I had the opportunity to fire one when I was growing up as my father had one in his collection ... very cool piece of kit.

This is a bound hardcover titled "Citizenship Booklets", I am not sure where it fits in. The little bit of history I can find on it says that it was produced under contract for the Armed Forces information and Education Division Office of the Secretary of Defense by Harvey Publishers. Super cool book that I was fortunate enough to add to my collection. It contains the following stories:

* The Man Who Would Not Quit

*  Kerry Drake "The Case Of the Sleeping City" 

* Joe Palooka "It's All in The Family" by Ham Fisher 

* Strong For The People

* Steve Canyons's Secret Mission by Milton Caniff

I picked up one of these as well a couple of years ago.  Like other Harveys, they seem to have been part of a warehouse find.

I don't generally collect GA war books but this was one I had wanted.  I bought it raw and received back just recently.  The cover is great - not only the image but the word balloon text as well).

 

One of my favorites, congrats!
