The Rockford Rangers is mine, so feel free to thrill bid or pick up a third copy. 

I was always under the impression that they rolled off of the presses that way. The initial copies got the best color, then as one of the colors in the mix ran out, the colors got lighter and lighter. Guessing here, but it's likely that that red is a mix of multiple other colors. Take one ink out of the mix and you get the Fiction House Orange. I don't think it's (generally) fading or unstable inks. 

FH ran a notoriously cheap/slipshod operation, so not shocked they didn't care much what the colors looked like. 

Well I did manage to pick up your lovely Rockford book sir.  Thank you for offering it up.  I suppose that means I need to move my undercopy.  I'd hate to be a hoarder.  Although lord knows this book really inspires me to become one.

The FH orange has been a topic of discussion here before and it remains a mystery. Seems like the inks were unstable and could fade on their own. Later FH didn't have these properties and it's well known they changed printers. That 9.0 is a treasure and would get premium I'm sure.

Oh the premium has already been paid.  Believe me.    Thank you for the thoughts.

Hi all - I'm not much of a war comics guy so looking for opinions from the more knowledgeable.  Was reading through a stack of my dad's old coverless books and came across this splash page which reminded me of a Fight cover.  Just curious if you guys think this is a swipe...or maybe it's already a known thing I have no idea.  The splash is from a book cover-dated about a year and a half after the Fight.

Congrats Dan!! That is an important part of FH history and a book that is still fairly reasonable IMO. 

Even with prices going as bonkers as they have on so many issues and titles, I feel like a lot of the FH titles (Jungle, Jumbo, Wings, etc) haven't been a big part of the run-up.  Which is why I'm scooping up as many as I can before they get out of my budget.

Picked this up yesterday. Really wasn’t expecting it or looking for it. But it just landed in my lap. I’m still a little star eyed. 

How can anyone pay crazy prices for SA when the amazing talent of Lou Fine can be yours instead? 

Oh my.  That is beautiful.  You don't see Jungle 1's in the raw so that's even cooler.  The details on the lion are inspired.  I have a hard time looking at anything else.  Congrats!

Great book, that must have been a lovely surprise 

Yes indeed.  That particular book has grown on me over the years so I was even more surprised and happy.
