Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Blazing Combat was an American war-comics magazine that featured war stories in both contemporary and period settings, unified by a humanistic theme of the personal costs of war, rather than by traditional men's-adventure motifs. The black-and-white, 64-page Blazing Combat ran four quarterly issues, cover-dated October 1965 to July 1966. These 2 copies (April & July "66) where the last to be published. The popularity drop enormously when problems from the armed forces (at the time a major purchaser of B&W comic magazines) . began to refuse to sell Blazing Combat on their bases or PXs, due to its perceived 'anti-war' stance". Comic-book historian Richard Arndt assesses Blazing Combat as, "Probably the best war comic ever published." These two issues are fine to very fine condition, estimating them using the CGC grading guide puts them at an 8.0/8.5. Fine to Very Fine condition; no damage inside or out other than discoloration due to age. CGC estimate - 8.0/8.5. No DJ as issued, being maintained in acid free plastic bag with boards.

There are library stamps on the title page, exterior top and bottom text block edges, and on each title page for each month of the year. That said, this is not a bad-looking volume, the description probably makes this worse-sounding than it is, though it is better to be pleasantly surprised than not. [\] POINCARE, Henri.

"On the Vacant Regions of the Sky" (an early epoch of modern thinking on "Dark Matter"), pp 581-583, with three beautiful photo plates. The Poincare and Barnard papers are both early modern work on what would become "dark matter": "The hypothesis of dark matter has an elaborate history.  In a talk given in 1884,  Lord Kelvin estimated the number of dark bodies in the Milky Way from the observed velocity dispersion of the stars orbiting around the center of the galaxy. By using these measurements, he estimated the mass of the galaxy, which he determined is different from the mass of visible stars. Lord Kelvin thus concluded "many of our stars, perhaps a great majority of them, may be dark bodies".  In 1906 Henri Poincaré in "The Milky Way and Theory of Gases" used "dark matter", or "matière obscure"--Wikipedia in French, in discussing Kelvin's work.
