Is the Fox Wonder 12 times better?

 

Richard to your yes ... certainly the Wonder is far more historically significant in that it is the First FOX ... so that's a big plus ... but on straight cover image alone ... I like Flag Covers and Hitler Covers and War Covers and Schomburg covers ... more than Superman rip-off covers ... so I'd say NO.

 

I also asked a 12 year old which cover looked cooler in the Gerber and he picked the Better/Nedor over Fox .... so there we have it :)

That is all fine, but I doubt the 12 year old is going to pony up any dough for either.

And while cover image is certainly important, it is only one factor in determining a value.

Here's a little opinion...

The Nedor Wonder's cover is about twice as good as the Fox.

The Fox's interior is about a thousand times as good as the Nedor.

The Fox is also rarer, more historically significant, fatter, was produced with higher quality, older, contain a far better line-up of artists who were experimenting with the medium during their formative years, and is just plain cooler to hold in your hands.

 

That makes it 12 times better to me. :)

 

The cover of Fox Wonder 2 has a giant gorilla.

 

Does the Nedor? Didn't think. Fox cover is better. :sumo:

 

The gorilla is not green and it's not a Nazi. I've seen better.

How cool would it be if these Nazis were Gorillas?

It would be very cool. I am not sure what is cooler though: Nazi green gorillas or octopus Hitler. I will have to ponder this.

Comparing Nedor Wonder 1 vs. Fox Wonder 1? These two books aren't even in the same league. (shrug)

 

Agree.

On the other hand, for better or worse, the market is very cover-driven right now. Supes #14 and #17 are in much higher demand, and valued much higher, than #16 or #19, but the contents are very similar. People just want those covers.
very true...but supes 14-19 are all DC, where as the other comparison is apples to oranges (diff publs)

 

But that's exactly my point. Richard was arguing that the interior of the Fox Wonder #1 is 1000 times better than the interior of the Nedor Wonder #1. To me, that raises the question, how much of a book's value is determined by its interior in today's market? The best way to illustrate that is to examine a run, like Superman 14-19, where there's little variation in the content of the interior of each issue. Significant variations in value seem to be solely based on the quality of the cover.

 

We're seeing it again and again, where books like Detective 31, 35, and Suspense 3 have reached levels higher than some keys. I'm curious whether the scale will continue to tilt in the direction of cover content, or will a renewed appreciation of story and interior art return a balance to that scale.

 

I don't disagree but god its such a sad comment on today's market.
