sacentaur Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 One of the rarest issues in the run, IMHO: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreHero Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 "Does this count....???" Yes it does! Nothing rarer than OA for a cover from 1937! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreHero Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 One of the rarest issues in the run, IMHO: I agree, I believe this to be the rarest of the run, and one of the rarer Centaurs. One of my favorite covers - the variety of colors on this issue is crazy! Also, a surprisingly bloody and creepy cover - blood on the swords & spikes, plus the shadowy faces in the doorway. After these posts, it'll seem like this issue is downright common - at least among us old time Centaur collectors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I collect "women in peril" covers as a type set rather than any given publisher, but if anyone has a spare copy of this one for sale I'm your geek!

G.A.tor Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 when I put my FP run together, I found 41 (cage? cover) to be the toughest, but I am sure it goes in cycles (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PreHero Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 when I put my FP run together, I found 41 (cage? cover) to be the toughest, but I am sure it goes in cycles (thumbs u I completely agree about the cycles. At one time Comic Pages seemed very common, now you don't see them at all. I think it does vary by time, location, contacts, and individual, esp. with titles like FPs, where there's more than one uncommon book. Over the yrs for me, #40 was the one I never saw. Have seen more #41s, but since I bought both #40 and #41 at the same time (2 of the last 4 I needed), you have a good point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like this issue - crazy colorful cvr and pretty rare. Both Jon and Steve have great copies - and they've had theirs much longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the interesting things about this cover is that Gustavson drew the hand of the lion trainer (the one behind his back) upside down. I always thought that was interesting. Tough black cover too.

sacentaur Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 The Funny Pages 41 is tough, but not quite as rare as the FP 40 IMHO (both are harder to find than the FP 42, which the Guide designates as "scarce"). Over the decades, I've never had a duplicate copy of FP 40 and only one duplicate copy of FP 41 (which I moved to Gator a few years ago). This also is a Claire Moe copy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
