So here it is thus far. Seven copies total of Lou Fine's big monkey.

 

Et-Es-Go; restored

Rare High Grade; high grade, Mile High in fact

Sacentaur; restored

Fuelman; don't known if any work has been done On this copy

Bluechip; very low grade

Straw-Man; restored, you can see some before pics at The Restoration Lab

Berk; Allentown copy

 

 

So nobody else here has a Fine monkey book? Is this the scarcest Fox book?

Can someone ask Susan if she would kindly post her copy if possible? I will add it to our list.

Non Fox collector question, is this book an oversize?

 

Wonder is not magazine sized. It is, however, the largest size you can be and still be considered "standard" GA sized book and so is a bit taller and a quarter inch wider than many other GA books.

There is a post earlier in the thread of Wonder #1 and #2 and then the Wonderworld books which the title morphed into. That will give you a good gauge of the size of the issues. It's really an interesting run because it has artwork by some of the best, it is basically the launch of Fox comics which consequently got him immediately in trouble with DC Comics. So it has some cool history as well. And many of the books are fairly scarce, especially the first several issues. Fun stuff and most of the reasons right there are what is interesting to me about Golden Age collecting.

Bumping the monkey book census effort...

 

Maybe some bananas will entice them to come out?

With the nice Dynamic #8 thread going, it made me wonder about this Lou Fine classic cover. So I'm bumpin the monkey thread. It's Berk's fault for the Lou Fine reminder since he brought that original Sultan splash page into the thread. Does Jon have the most amazing stuff or what? Should have studies law instead of biology.

 

So let's see your Lou Fine monkeys!
