That is the Cap issue that most resembles a silver age comic. It was also prominently displayed in Steranko's History of Comics. I always liked it a lot too.

Never thought of it that way, but I think you're right.  Could easily be an early Spider-Man cover.

Picked this up on CLink last night.  Not a lot of love for Supersnipe, other than the two issues with Hitler covers, so it went pretty cheap.  I like it because of the ped and because it's one of only three covers I know of featuring soldiers returning from WW II.  The other two are Thrilling 50 and All-Star 27 (thanks to a boardie for reminding me of that one).  Anyone think of others I'm overlooking?

Nice pair!

Yes. And the Straight Arrow is cool too.

Bad to the bone, you are!  Bad to the very bone! :taptaptap:

I see why this book resonates with you: "the boy with the most comic books in America" -- my guess is you're at least a semi-finalist!

A important issue to me because Cap #60 was the first GA Cap I bought as a kid. Always liked this cover because it reminded me of the SA Marvel Villain The Beetle.

For sure. Almost a spitting image of AF15.

I don't know; the competition around here is pretty stiff! :)

I like these if only because they remind of the late Edward Summer's Supersnipe Comic Emporium. I can still see those old ads from Overstreet.

Not that I would've cared back in ~1981, but where's the DC books?
