adamstrange Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) There was only one superhero book in the whole collection, a Detective. There were some Rex the Wonder Dogs because some of the early issues had war covers. I have only run across one DC Funny Animal: Edited March 28, 2020 by adamstrange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IngelsFan Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I have one book from this pedigree, Fightin’ Air Force 3. I was shown the GIC 75 in 1996 or 97 and it remains one of the best-looking washtone covers I’ve even seen. buttock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted March 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2020 Great write-up. A great pedigree which copies are seldom offered. Probably the only mostly war pedigree? I think I half a half a dozen of them or so. Probably mixed into my war boxes. I got these three from Metro many years ago all at once. Wish I had bought more but by the time I received them, the rest were already sold. Incredible paper and gloss. (NFS)...

october Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Great research, Dan. I've owned maybe 50 Salidas (the bulk came from a former pedigree collector), but many were from less desirable titles. I only have a handful left, but they are too cool to sell. MusterMark, buttock, adamstrange and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttock Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 This was a first. A request to see my Mighty Mouse (no dirty jokes...). I have a scan, but it doesn't show the freshness. MrBedrock and batman_fan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
