Weird Horrors 6.

Take please. 

[adamstrange]

*** SOLD ***

Blazing Combat 2, 3 and 4.  This series was a special tribute by Archie Goodwin to Harvey Kurtzman's EC war stories.  He used mostly the same artists as had worked under Harvey and gave them creative freedom.  They in turn produced spectacular work, fronted by newly created Frazetta paintings.  The Russ Heath story in #4 deserves mention as Russ considered it his finest artwork.

These three VF copies for $250.

Weird Horrors 6.  Ekgren has to be one of the most unusual cover artists and his story is a very interesting one.  Archer St John, publisher of St John comics, found Ekgren selling his paintings/drawing in NYC and was so intrigued he picked up three to use on his horror comics.

This is a vg/fine and is yours for $275.

 

Sold to ThothAmon. Thanks!

Monster #2.  I'm a huge fan of Maurice Whitman and am happy that Fiction House made him lead cover artist for the couple years of their comics line.  He was adept at every genre and knew how to portray an exciting scene. If the cover is not good enough for you, the interior line up Johnny Bell and Bill Benulis should be.

Census: One in 7.0.  This raw vf/nm copy with cr/ow pages is $2500.

Very cool books. Wombat may be interested in these for sure, don't know if he already filled that run or not yet.

Great thread with stellar books! I learned stuff just looking through the thread.

For years some of the best work in comics was being quietly knocked out of the park in the Warren line... and those Blazing Combat issues are no exception. 

I always look forward to your threads AS, a real treat. GOD BLESS...

Love your descriptions! 

Thank you!  It's part of what takes me so long to post but also gives me a chance to reflect before I release it for sale.  There are quite a few times where I've backed off after finishing the description.

For some reason I thought you were missing one of the four, Dave. My bad. I'll tag an FYI to @wombat 

OP, your explanation of the wonderful context you give each book makes so much sense; when a thread is a true collection cull (versus a few things that came along with books you did want when one buys a batch) so much does go on in one's head before posting -- thank you for turning that process of release into a fun and educational read.

Love the Ekgren covers...especially weird horrors 7.

World's Finest #64:  Win Mortimer is the quintessential 1950s Batman cover artist for me.  The characters are cheerful and, in his best scenes, placed within a setting of properly handled deep perspective like this image of Times Square in New York City.  There is always a Batman and a Superman story in these issues but there's quite a variety in between those two.  In this case, DC used a spy story most likely intended for their earlier cancelled "Danger Trail" title.

Census: 2 in 6.5.  This is an absurdly difficult comic to find in decent shape.  This raw 6.5 copy with ow pages is $800

Take per PM. Thanks Alan.

World's Finest #59: These 68 page giants are bear to find in decent shape and you'll have a hard time doing better than this attractive copy.  Joker takes on the Batman in the solo Batman story at end of the comic.  Superman stars in the first story and the loads of art in between.

Census: One in 8.5, one in 8.0, one in 7.5.  This raw 7.5 copy is only $800.

Take per PM.

Thanks for taking the WFs!
