    Motion Pictures Funny Weekly #1 for auction. Guesses?

    in Golden Age Comic Books

    Posted · Edited by Big Moov

    For me personally, it is definitely a 1. I have zero interest. It has an absolutely horrible cover.

    Everyone's entitled to their opinion....but what can I say about someone who wouldn't want MPFW #1 because the cover-art isn't nice?? :cry:

    You probably wouldn't want the Mona Lisa because her smile isn't nice. What would you want, a picture of Batman?? lol

    Unpopular Golden Age Opinions Thread!

    Maybe this will fly, maybe not. Let's give it a whirl:

     

    -- I love classic precode horror covers, but for whatever reason I don't share the extreme love for Fight Against Crime #20 as reflected in its selling prices. To me the cover is more zany or goofy than horrific.

     

    -- I don't enjoy looking at Jack Kirby's GA artwork. I respect that he's a founding father of the industry, but I just don't dig it at all.

     

    -- For that matter, aside from the great Schomburg covers, I'm not a fan of GA Captain America either. If I'm going after GA patriotic heroes I prefer the MLJ Peps and Zips.

     

    -- I'd rather have a bright, vividly-colored 1.5 GA book with a detached cover wrap than an 8.0 book with dulled colors but amazing structural soundness. (Not talking about *faded* books, which is an easier call... just books with naturally weak colors, like a good many Fiction House, Fox etc.)

     

     

    OK, that's what I've got so far. Who's next? :taptaptap:

     

    As a collecter who started with coins, then sports cards, and now exclusively comics....I couldn't care less about artwork. I couldn't care less about the story inside. I collect first appearances of characters....and that's it. How's that for an unpopular opinion? But to me it makes perfect sense. You don't collect coins or sports cards because of how how the picture looks or what the writing is. Why comics??

    Show me your Timely's and I'll show you mine. Have a Cigar...

    No....I won't show you mine, and I don't want to see yours. No cigar.

     

    Has anyone said this in these 1693 pages?? I haven't read this thread yet. lol.

     

    Sorry if I read too much into the headline (I've seen it a hundred times, but I'm having a drink tonight - cheers all - and I never said anything). Forgive me, as I've been on the Terminator Genisys board at IMDB. It's my favorite movie. But there are very strange and angry 'activists' trying to dominate the board. With strange names and saying strange things. I'm pretty sure I know why they are so angry at Arnold (his veto of a certain bill).

     

    This may seem off-topic....but I can actually tie-it-in to comics....
