Fiction House

[seank]

Does anyone know of a good resource for Fiction House books? What artists worked on what stories and so forth? OS has good Matt Baker info, but everything else gets spotty.

 

I pulled out my Fight Comics #59 last night and reread the first two stories. Geez, what awful writing. The art is nice though and the plots move along quite nicely.

Lots of interesting girlie Jumbo/ Jungle action type covers, but interiors are quite unreadable. I know Lou Fine worked on Fox Publishing comics. Can't name any other Fiction House artists right now.

Hmm... no.

 

Do you know anything about Zolnerowich(?) Zolne Rowich (?) - cover artist of some of the most fabulous early fiction house covers... I have been trying for years to find out about this guy, I have no idea how someone this talented has to this day slipped through the cracks of fandom's knowledge...

I don't know much beyond the Matt Baker basics and what's in OS. I just got back into comics but I've always loved the Fiction House books. Right now I'm buying FH books, but focusing on the Matt Baker issues. I love Sky Girl and always thought she got the short end of the stick because she was a pilot during the war but a waitress after the war.

 

If I can find more information, I'm contemplating putting a web page or something together.
