Hi all,
Who here is the resident Lb Cole specialist? I am curious about a series of crime novels or short books he did covers for in 1947.
I noticed in my Lb Cole Black Light book that he did covers on some of these books and that they were available for mail in only. I will post a picture of the one I have never seen (and it’s not in the book I don’t think). Wondering if anyone here has any or even any more info on them. I can only assume they are hard to come by as I’ve never seen anyone post that they own a copy.
Thanks!

pmpknface hasn't been active here in a long time, but I think he's still active on the CGC forums, and he's one of the foremost L.B. Cole collectors anywhere.

I once had an Overstreet Price Guide that had an extensive article about L.B. Cole. From my memory, it seemed pretty thoroughly researched.  |

Over the years I have seen some of these for sale online, for example on eBay or abebooks.  source: bookscans.com/Publishers/krjohnson/Pages/Digest_Artist.pdf |

They are not what I am referring to here. I am trying to upload a picture but they are on my phone and it won't let me do that from my pictures and I havent had time to play around with uploading the images somewhere that allows me to provide a link here....but I will! |

I don't know if you are aware of this, but I tripped over this by chance just now.
ALTER EGO #117 (84 pages with FULL COLOR, $8.95) shines the spotlight on Golden Age artists and friends L.B. COLE & JAY DISBROW—with the latter writing an intimate memoir of his sometime boss! Cole's 1940s Cat-Man covers are classics—as was his work on Magno, Black Cobra, Black Venus, and many other features—while Disbrow drew numerous quirky horror tales for Star and ACG! Plus art by BOB FUJITANI, CHARLES QUINLAN, IRWIN HASEN, etc.—an FCA (Fawcett Collector's of America) look at the two-media career of Captain Video—MICHAEL T. GILBERT in Mr. Monster's Comic Crypt—BILL SCHELLY—and MORE! Cover by L.B. COLE! I don't have the issue, so I have no idea if it covers any of the material you're looking for, but I figured I'd mention it. The digital version is only $5 compared to the print version. |

I have that AE issue and it's fantastic! Absolutely worth picking up for Cole fans, though it doesn't go into the paperbacks other than a brief blurb or two. It does contain images of a couple of the paperback covers, which can readily be seen in the preview you linked to. |
