The Boards are like the days when I was just a lurker whenever Mr.B gets to posting! Never a dull moment and I'm always floored!

I've never understood what made her such a popular teenager.  I mean, she's got holes in her shoes.

This one has got to be tough; I don't recall having seen a copy before.

These are great covers and overlooked, I feel.  Still can be had for not much compared to many of the other genres he did.  I have this one and should get others.

This is a fun one.  Cole LOVED horses and drew them very well.  Add in a rainbow bag and a green hat and it's a winner!  Plus, notice the background where there's a horse totally biting it upside down.

This one is killer.  I'm not sure there should be a gun on the nose of the plane, but who cares.  The only way this gets better is if there's a dude riding the eagle firing a machine gun and carrying an american flag.

That was one of the first GA comics I ever bought back in the 70s.  I had mine graded not too long ago.  I just liked the giant eagle and really was so clueless about GA back then - still am

Nice!  I got a copy ages ago, but have always wanted to upgrade.  Mine has a minor chunk out of the top.  Of course like all Cole books it seems like a harder task then it did a few years ago...  Also if you dig this cover you gotta love Power Comics #4!  (not my copy)

I've always thought this was a cool cover because it seems to incorporate everything Cole loved to draw but in a duplicitous manner.  That and the way the axe looks like a 3-D cutout.

This is definitively a Cole cover, then? I've always wondered about this one (and another I can't seem to find right now that appears to be credited to Disbrow).
