Thanks but I can never seem to hold onto this title. Already moving it again since an OA opportunity just popped up.

I understand about the great covers, but how are the stories in the Fiction House books (relative to other GA)? Fun or just campy? I had never heard of the publisher or any of the titles before I joined these boards, and I'm just curious about it.

 

Thanks.

No better nor worse than the average story. The advantage (from my POV) is that FH had a lot of recurring long-running characters so that the characters were quite well established which helped maintain a level of quality in the story. Sure, it led to repetition but it's better than the inanity of Timely's stories. Overall the stories are more repetitive & less "innovative / inventive" than National's stories but still fun for what they are. In the end, I rank them a step up from most other second-tier publishers thanks to the art.

I agree! I'll add that if you're not collecting a Fiction House title (yet) it can be very addicting.

 

The prices are generally pretty reasonable on them too compared to "hero" books.
