I've always loved this one.  It's earlier on and has a ot of the fun Cole elements:  an animal, detailed wood grain, headlights... 

BTW - Killer copies of those 2 romance books guys!  Those are tough covers in any grade.

I don't think I posted this, but here's a few pickups.  Now I only need the BB 105 to have the Cole cover run.  And FA 55 to finish that run.

I'll have to take some soon, but let's wait until last night's purchase arrives.  Hopefully it'll get here by Friday, as I'm off to Disney on Saturday, and then I'll be able to post a pic of the latest LB Cole cover run that I just completed!  And it's neither of the 2 previously mentioned runs either!

If anyone is wondering about the phrase "Oh, nerts!", nerts is American slang from the 1930s that represents a colloquial or euphemistic pronunciation of nuts. The phrase used on the cover is probably the guy's response to his date's lack of romantic feelings toward him as compared to all the other couples at the drive-in. Ernest Hemingway used the phrase "Oh, nerts to you" in his book  To Have and Have Not in 1937.

love this thread! here are a few of my favorite covers from my collection of Cole comics....

[pmpknface]

Great stuff!  The Spook 30 is actually Disbrow, but we'll let it slide.      Plus:  2 Power 3s?!?!?!  And that 8.0 Terrific 6?!?!?!

I thought i had read somewhere that Cole inked Spook 30, but its definitely some Disbrow goodness as it was taken from the last splash page in the issue, in the interior art the cover monster is also red and not green!!

The cover of Spook 30 is definitely a copy of the splash opening page of the Insider by Disbrow. It first appeared in Blue Bolt Weird 114 and the demon was green. Great books you posted!

I've always been fond of this cover.

Those HOLIDAY COMICS are cool, especially because Cole did some of the inside cover art too.

Um, well, good luck. Those are difficult to find in grades above VG at this point, and in VF they are going to be VERY expensive....if you can even find them at all, which I doubt. 

Spook 28 may not even exist in that grade.
