Congrats on the blue label and of course major props on that score, With this year being the 75th anniversary of the close of WWII, I've always imagined if the Smithsonian asked me to compile a grouping of only 10 comic book covers to represent the most dynamic and artistic of comic book propaganda during WWII to be on display for all time in a hall, pulling from all publishers whether I own a copy or not, this would be in that 10. What a cover , and what a book to have in your collection my friend Badger and gino2paulus2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 Here's an EBay purchase from last week. Not only a new title for me but a new publisher. There was a great run of Shadows for sale and this one really caught my eye with the creepy cover. There is a printing defect where the staples tried to grab the cover; but not too distracting. Great interior too! The first Shadow story and cover illustration is a radio adaptation, lots of ads for the radio stories in this book. Calling @Straw-Man for the Bayou reference! Then we have Doc Savage, not a great splash was hoping for more from the Man of Bronze. Then yet another Shadow tale with another nice splash and unique logo. Finally this whack a doodle strip which really looks like a Shuster lift. gino2paulus2, AJD, ThothAmon and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first in this series or Street and Smith for that matter. And while I’m here @Yellow Kid did you find these interior shots above?

Robot Man Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I really like the Powell covers in the volume 8 range. Lots of horror content inside as well. Adam had a good amount of them. I don’t have the one you got. Glad I forgot and didn’t run you up on it. 50YrsCollctngCmcs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found them, Frank, and the swamp scene sure reminded me of the 20 years I lived on the edge of the Honey Island Swamp in Slidell LA and could hear the big gators barking 50 yds. away as I went to sleep. Swamps are very eerie. Great cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted January 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2020 I always like to read the indicia on old books. The Shadow book is a pretty clear one and I thought I would Google the address. The building is still there and looks nicely restored. I can certainly see this building being home of the Shadow magazine back in the thirties. Just add a Fedora and walk out that door.
