Reminds me of this comic here. No Frank Frazetta, but having artists like Wally Wood and Everett Kinstler involved is still great nonetheless!:

I actually like the cover to Atomic War #1 better, but this will probably be the only exploding D.C. cover I’ll ever own

One and done Captain Midnight.  There is one more Issue I wouldn't mind owning but this is by far the best in the run.

One and done Hit

Only issue of this run I have any interest in owning.

Whiz 10, 13, 17 and 18 are arguably the best pre issue 20 covers, but if I just elected to keep one, it'd be this one. Whiz doesn't get the respect it deserves, but these covers in particular have an Actions comics vibe to them. 

Totally agree with you on the cover comment; that's a beautiful copy too!.

Mathis info.

Wow, @Cat-Man_America, reading the obit makes me want to read the book. I can’t imagine there are too many copies left as pristine as yours.

There’s a copy on Amazon for sale right now for $988!
