Joe Kubert art. 6 universal copies on the CGC census, none higher than a 5.0. Tough book! I don't recall checking the census but now I know why I haven't been able to find a high grade copy. Nice grab!!! circumstances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He posted it in a thread when he completed the run (which I just bumped). He also has the mile high #1, which is incredible (a 9.6).

I think if some knew how rare they are that they'd see them in a different light. I only have the #23 at present.

His 5.0 #5 is in a large holder. I'm thinking a spine roll might have taken it out of the regular size slab.

He could probably have that pressed out but there's often times a dice roll with that, depending on a few factors like paper quality and structural integrity of the spine.

Frisco Larson Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks! I always wondered why they were "unmasked" on the cover? I guess I should take it out and read it! Maybe the reason is hiding inside!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Readcomix Posted May 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2020 Just grabbed this as it doesn't seem to come up too much and though it's remaindered comics inside, I guess I technically still need it to complete the run. Plus, it's a war caricature cover. I don't think any Blazing #6's had original series content (Green Turtle, Jun-Gal, etc) but #5's exist with original material as well as remaindered books. Since I have a #5 with original content, the run seems reasonable to complete now. Larryw7, sagii, OdinsSecrets and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
