Fiction house anyone? 26 26

[cheetah]

I've said before that Jumbo 155 is one of my favorite covers. This is my copy that I've had for a while.

 

 

I just managed to pick up a fully colored copy of ebay and now it's even MORE my favorite cover. (The slab is really scratched up, though.)

Night and day difference!!!

 

Most of their books by 1952 were printed with reasonable quality inks and it's unusual to see this much difference.

I've noticed that variations are still fairly common, if not quite as dramatic as in earlier times.

I agree, color variations are common, definitely not as drastic as early Fiction house. When you find one that is bold better grab it!! Bold colored issues are definitely worth waiting for.

Finally found time to liberate this one from its CGC prison. CGC 6.0 OW/W.

 

Was on the stand with the Fight 43 posted below.

Nobody buying FH's these days?

 

Here's an eBay win from the long run of Wings boardmember (?) ComicKings had last week. I bid on all of them even though most were quite defaced with writing but was a couple of bucks too cheap I guess and ended underbidder on most.

 

Like the copy I got, few cover markings but I opened it and it's missing a coupon on the back. Sure enough, it's mentioned in the listing That'll teach me to read to the end. Still like it

That's a nice looking book, coupon missing or not! :thumbsup:

[Scrooge]

Thanks DD

 

I received another FH today. This is new territory to me -

Was at the NYCC today, no Fight Comics 31 or 32 to be found, or many Fight comics at all for that matter.

I generally do not buy late run Fiction House books but this one I couldn't resist. One of my fave Jumbo covers -

Nice get Scrooge. That's a really cool cover.

 

My other hobby is aircraft modelling, and the P-61 is an all-time favourite. Some of the Wings covers have unrealistically posed and/or inaccurately rendered aircraft and I really can't get past that. (e.g. 59 - attacking aircraft is bound to crash into the water too, or 63 - mid air collision imminent). I know they do that to make it work as interesting cover art, but I find it too distracting.

 

#55 gets it right enough though. (thumbs u

 

OK, I'm a geek.
