The collection comes out of South Florida and includes nice runs of the 5 major DC war titles. There are over 800 books to choose from the following titles: All-American Men of War, G.I. Combat, Our Army at War, Our Fighting Forces and Star Spangled War Stories plus a nice group of books from Capt. Storm and Unknown Soldier.

Many of the early issues of the titles are in low to mid-grade and then go to mid to high-grade on the higher numbers. The collection starts in 1953 and goes into the mid 1970's. The collector collected multiple copies of some of his favorite covers so there are many doubles included in the runs.

Here is a list of the runs for each title:

All-American Men of War #3-#101 (101 issues)

G.I. Combat #43-#108 (50 issues)

Our Army at War #7-#301 (226 issues)

Our Fighting Forces #11-#180 (199 issues)

Star Spangled War Stories #3-#199 (158 issues)

All 800-plus issues will be featured in the April DC Big 5 War Auction and will be offered with no reserve amount. There are many great issues and iconic covers in the runs to choose from. These books NEVER come up for sale at auction, especially in such deep runs.
