Cool Stuff: Original Comic Art!

Time to look at some more original comic art offered for sale in the past year or so! I have no affiliation with the sellers of these pieces, and cannot guarantee if they're available now or not. Clicking most of these may give you options for larger viewing!

We're starting a new volume in my files, so we're at the A's!

Continuing with G.I. Combat!

gic110.jpg

Issue 110 - and finally, the Haunted Tank appears on a cover for this by the 10's!

gic120.jpg

Issue 120 - And DC's not fooling around any more, the Tank's on the cover, period!

gic130.jpg

Issue 130 - Don't know, didn't read the issue, don't ask me, okay?

gic140.jpg

Issue 140!

gic150.jpg

Issue 150! Wonder how much longer before we get to a standard DC war comic cover where the soldiers think they're safe, but the enemy's lying in wait?

gic160.jpg

Issue 160 - Well, that wasn't a long wait, was it?

gic170.jpg

Issue 170!

gic180.jpg

Issue 180!

Cool Stuff: Battlestar Galactica and More!

galactica_idset.JPG

I think it was Laramie who made this ID set... they made similar sets for Star Trek, Spider-Man and other licensed properties, none of which ever had anything like these ever presented on the screen or in the comics!

galactica_photostorybook

I'd forgotten that while one company published "Photo-Novels," someone else did some "Photostories", like this one for the Battlestar Galactica pilot!

galactica_puzzledogfight

I don't often see too many bilingual Galactica items, so this puzzle is kind of a surprise! Here's a couple more Galactica puzzles:

galactica_puzzleovoid

galactica_starbuckpuzzle

girlwithsomethingextrabook

Anyone remember the TV show "The Girl With Something Extra"? I think I saw it once or twice, but didn't think it was around long enough to spawn a novel!

Time for some Give-A-Show stuff, just because! Hey, tomorrow's Give-A-Show Friday anyway...

giveashow_bionicwoman

This Bionic Woman set is my most recent acquisition to my collection!

giveashow_frankiejr

I'm amazed that this particular set once was sold for as little as two bucks, even at garage sale prices! But maybe it's just me...

giveashow_sixmillion

Here's the Six Million Dollar Man set! I actually own copies of all three of these Give-A-Show sets myself...

giveashow_stingray.jpg

This one, on the other hand, I don't -- it was produced in the UK by Chad Valley, who had the Give-A-Show license out there!

giveashow_woody

And here's a early 1960s set that I own, although I'm pretty sure I don't have the box for it!

And just for the heck of it, for the last item today, here's some Hanna-Barbera puffy stickers -- how many of these characters do you recognize?
