Congrats. I bid $778, which was too low as it wasn't an increment higher than the high bid (yours).

Glad it went to a fan and fellow boardie though. Awesome book.

Seems like ALL the underbidders are on here. I went to $650 or $700. Thought that would be enough.

Lot of smart collectors who knew what a gem that was.

Building to a Heath finale

Brutal cover. Maybe this was an inspiration?

I figured out what a gem it was many years ago.

My thanks to a fellow boardie for this beauty!!

We all knew (or recently learned) about Battle Report 6's notoriety due to its cover featuring a racial slur.  Link

So my question is, like the Fighting Man annual (which went for roughly the same amount) - which boardie won it??

[lbcolefan]

Not me!

My max bid would have been quite a bit higher than the winning bid. My sister called me about an hour before it ended with one of her weekly emergencies and I missed it by 4 minutes. It looked like a really nice copy.

It did present well.

Like the annual, I was one of the underbidders.

Luckily I have one, just not that nice.

I got your undercopy, which sufficed (I knew the book would more or less match the FM annual).

I assume the winning bidder will reveal himself in due course.

Yes, probably a board member. Great issue. Took forever for me to find one, then a few popped up in quick succession.

Mine is decent enough, but that one looked super sharp aside from the light tanning.

There are quite a few Farrell’s with “racial slurs” I believe. This was the mood of the country at the time and quite acceptable. Not unlike the anti German and Japanese covers during WWII.

As an avid war comic reader, you don't have to tell me! What is more unusual however is that this book (and a few others) has the slur on its cover.

From gook to punk.

I took these a while back, from Fighting Man Annual 1 IIRC.  

[707comics]

Not too many books with the actual terminology used on the cover:

Attack #8
Battle Report #6
G.I. in Battle #9
War Heroes #1 (thanks lbcolefan!)
War Heroes #5 (thanks lbcolefan!)
War Report #5

More?

Added them to the list ... thanks for pointing them out!

Found this in my phone pictures. Don’t remember the issue number. I’m sure I have more Farrell cover mentions but can’t get to my collection right now.
