We'll get 'em all. 

Meanwhile, Captain Courageous #6 is currently on its way to rangerhouse for scanning.

Rangerhouse has finished scanning Captain Courageous #6 and the pages look fantastic. Hopefully they'll be edited and ready for the website soon. But until then, RH put up a preview of the Lone Warrior story on DCM's Facebook page:

Thanks, Krankyboy, for all your effort. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find quiet moments to continue with my scans.
After the Daredevil, I’d have liked to scan two issues of the Challenger (Interfaith Publications), #2 and #4 which are missing.
But I don’t venture in any time estimation, just to let you know I have them.

Bomber Comics: Sooner or later I’d like to buy a copy of #2 (I’m interested in the Kismet story, for reproduction), but right now it’s not on the top of my priorities. It would be good to know the contents of the missing issues, even if incomplete.

I can’t put together a "Top Ten", since I usually buy what I can afford & care about, and the DCM has been great precisely for knowing what’s inside specific issues, to get to know titles & publishers et al.
So I guess I’d better start with some donation instead of just wandering around… 

One curiosity which would be on my list, however, is Future Comics (McKay Publications), since the four issues feature "Saturn against the Earth", probably the only italian comic strip which made to the US in the 1940s, so here I go:

(1) Future Comics #1-4 (McKay Publications)

[krankyboy]

Just checked Terry's website to see if they had a copy of Future Comics, but no dice. 

However, I'm currently looking into Dynamic Comics #11 with Dynamic Man and Yankee Boy. It's a little pricey, but I really want us to have a complete run here at DCM, so...

Thanks  Krank I would love more and complete Cheslers

Thanks  Krank I would love more and complete Cheslers

Purchase has been completed. Terry is going to mail it by the end of next week. And then it's going right to Rangerhouse. 

Hope that it's a good one. That just leaves 2, 9, 10, and 17 (and a complete version of 21) for Dynamic Comics. I can't believe we're getting within striking distance of finishing that title.

Dynamics are often sought after by collectors merely for the covers, that‘s why they are rare/pricey. 
Maybe they were also printed on a worse paper? Don’t know.

I have updated my list:

(1) National Comics #6, 9 (Quality)
(2) Uncle Sam Quarterly #2-6 (Quality)
(2) Future Comics #1-4 (McKay Publications)

And I add my "wantlist", meaning books for my wartime-themed research which I not only need to read/consult but also to keep:

(1) Four Favorites #12
(2) Boy Comics #13
(3) National Comics #11
these on top of my priorities right now. If it happens you stumble upon them, please let me know.

I’m also looking for a coverless National Comics #17 (I have an incomplete copy with missing pages).

[narfstar]

Fortunately some Dynamic Superhero comics have humor covers. These are usually pretty inexpensive

[krankyboy]

valiant -

I'll keep my eyes open for the comics that you mentioned. 

Meanwhile, I'm picking up a complete Dynamic Comics #21 from Terry, which will be sent right off to rangerhouse for scanning and ML for his edits. Our current version at DCM is incomplete.

Thanks KB! 
Your dedication to the cause is very admirable.

[krankyboy]

I just felt like I was mooching off everyone else and wasn't contributing enough. So this is really my way of "donating to the cause," so to speak.

I'm hoping to find Banner Comics 4 and 5, and some of the missing Dynamic issues. But I'll also be expanding into Bomber Comics, Wow Comics, Master Comics, and maybe some of the Fighting Yanks and Wonder Comics issues that Roygbiv666 mentioned earlier in the thread. Clue Comics, too. 

By the way, the sound you hear is my wallet screaming in terror.

[Yoc]

Hehehe, I thought  I heard something in the background!


GL on your wanted list KB!

[krankyboy]

Terry has Dynamic Comics #17, but it's got a torn chunk out of the first and second page that affects the Dynamic Man story. Not sure if I should get it or wait for a c2c unaffected copy.

It's your call KB.
