cheetah Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 That's it for now. Lots of Sheena still left...something like over 100 issues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpknface Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Fist copy. I love the cover to #57. This is a killer one too! How HTF is it? I guess the detached cover is what gave it the 3.0. I've got a short list of Fiction House books that I'd like to have someday and the #58 is one of them. I only have a 63, 82, and 98 so far, but I keep my eyes open. Killer books so far. Looking forward to seeing more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Paper Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I would be interested to see if folks think this is another Zolnerowich cover or not. It is the only one in his run of covers that doesn't have his name on it. CGC doesn't attribute it to him. For me, the lion seems like his work but Sheena's hair is longer and her outfit is fuzzier than Zolnerowich usually drew her. My old copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every auction had multiple copies. Nowadays, you are lucky if you see more than one or two in an auction. I've come to the conclusion that when one person really starts to collect a title that has been unpopular for a while, others jump on the bandwagon and start collecting it, too. I seldom have any problems selling my under copies, even in a community as small as the CGC forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 The 58 is on the more uncommon end of the scale. There are only three graded copies and I believe I had two of them graded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beige Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Super thread - made my morning reading. Oddball question. The lightning goes from the cover to a name on the cover, to disappearing all together. What happened to the character? Did he die out or get moved to another book, as the lightning cover you posted earlier looked great. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice thread - thanks for sharing. As soon as I saw this I thought Graham Ingles might have had a hand in it - the legs and finely textured hair. He was doing work for Fiction House at the time too. Oh well - my 10c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the early days it looks like Fiction House flirted with a number of genres in Jumbo Comics prior to Sheena dominating the covers. I dont know precisely when Lightning ended, but he lingered on for a while. Evidently Sheena was the USP when all around lay competition in the super hero market - at least that is what I infer.

As I mentioned before, I only bought two JUMBO's off the newsstand because I was able to read them every time I went to the barber shop which was just downstairs in our apartment building.

Rip Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Great books! What bugs me about Fiction house is how often you see the colors looking faded and dull. Its so nice to see a big batch of em with nice deep colors. (thumbs u When I bought em that was often the biggest challenge.

I was hoping to get out my DVD with the full run of Jumbos and try to post his final tale. LifE didn't give me time to even go to my Comic Cave. I hope to go there tonight.
