Fiction house anyone? 26 26

Yes, it's the Lost Valley copy. Yes, it's still unslabbed.

 

 

31 is nice, but I'll take GGA over gore, any day.

Oh baby.

Is this the church copy you guys are talking about....

 

 

yeah...that one....

31 is very tough. I've been the bridesmaid on that book more times than I care to count. 35 is about the same, but doesn't command as high a price.

 

Most of the issues between 30 and 37 are hard to get. 38 is easy. 39 and 40 are tough.

 

41-48 are easier but still desireable. 49 and 51 are easy-peasy, as are most issues to the end of the run. There was a warehouse find of 70s, so Vinny over at Metro probably uses them to line his birdcage and light his cigars. I don't see the last issue much, but it's out there.

 

Pre-30, most of the 20s (including 19, first Senorita Rio) are harder to find, but easier than the 30s. 29 seems to be the easiest. 20 seems to be out there, but not in higher grades. 28 is also fairly obtainable. I haven't looked much lately, but I don't recall seeing a 24 for sale recently. That may be my next stumbling block. The general rule seems to be that women in bondage are harder to find and if the woman is a nurse, the difficulty increases.

 

The first issue is easy, pretty much a matter of money. There's multiple issues out there for sale as I type. I don't know about 2-18 because I haven't been monitoring them as my focus until recently was on 19-48. I recall people here commenting that some of the issues are harder to find than others.

 

The Fight run should be a run that the average GA collector can complete because it has no Gerber 9s or 10s like Jumbo (or Planet?). The big barriers are 31 and 35.

 

All of this is pretty much off the top of my head. I invite others to supplement or amend this information.

 

I won't challenge anything you said b/c your analysis seems quite correct. The main thing about the Fight run is this part of your post: "The Fight run should be a run that the average GA collector can complete." Entirely true. Now it's also the case since none of the issues are impossible that every collector of that run will stumble upon their own "Can't find it issue." I was lucky on the # 31 that "my guy" had two copies so that my last two issues were # 30 and 34. # 30 was just a matter of shelling the $$, 34 proved to be tricky for no apparent reason.

 

Belated congrats on the 31

 

Of the early issues, Alanna was kind enough to sell me this, an issue he found to be harder to get by. True?

I read this book tonight.

 

It's kind of a rough period for the Jungle run with none of the features carried by a strong artist and it's a well below average effort by Doolin on the cover. I still enjoyed Froehlich on Simba and Fran Hopper is as consistent as ever on Camilla but not an issue that jumps out within the monstrous Jungle run.

 

Of note, the splash to the Kaanga story is what was used / inspired by the cover to issue 75. I have a copy but it's not scanned for some reason.

Is summer over already on the East Coast

On the other hand, there is plenty of FH goodness behind this luscious leggy Lubbers cover, including Cesare Avai on King of the Congo and Frank Fermonetti on Phantom Falcon. These guys did too little work in the U.S. and it can be found in these low 100's issues of Wings. Rounding out the issue are Lubbers, Evans, Celardo and Whitman.

 

After the cover, it's Avai first and Fermonetti second.

I purchased this yesterday from Brian over at A-1. I shouldn't have because after moving my girlfriend in and buying the Fight 31, my finances are severely strained, but I had horrible visions of this beauty getting sold at San Diego, thus preventing it from residing in casa Sean. Of the late Fights, I rarely see this one and if I do, it's not as nice as this copy.
