Al Avison (attributed) - War Battles #4 Cover Original Art (Harvey, 1952).
<B>Al Avison (attributed) - War Battles #4 Cover Original Art (Harvey, 1952).</B></I> Harvey Comics recycled the cover to <B>War Battles</B></I> #4 as a house ad for <B>True War Experiences</B></I> in <B>War Front</B></I> #9. The production staff added photostat type to the upper and lower left corners of the design. The copy along the left edge was pasted over the original dialogue, and as a result, the grenade was cut out of the page and repositioned, leaving a small hole in the paper. There are numerous stains on the cover, but they do little to diminish the explosive impact of this war-torn cover. The image size is approximately 12.5" x 19", and the art is in Good condition. The enemy is blown sky high by this perfect grenade pitch, and the dead-eyed dogface who threw it adds, "One more for my Aunt Bessie." This is a thrilling pre-Code war cover. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
