Recent addition to my FH pile. One of my favorite non-Zolnerowich Jungle covers. Nice colors on this one compared to what I have seen  👍🏻

 

 

I picked up mine years ago and do love that cover also

a random one...

mile high f.s. in h'tage auction currently, but it's soooo ordinary,

 

 

Kind of reminds of those coloring books they used to have (and maybe still do) where you used a wet paintbrush to bring out the colors embedded in the paper.

Ran out of comic money for a while so haven't been able to spam this thread much lately...not the best color strike, but did find this one locally raw and cheap though, which is always worth celebrating!

On this one, I always liked the little touch of her right shoe flying off.

New Hampshire?

Sure looks like it except why the extra scribble over the horses head?... back cover damage will keep it at a 6.5 but it sure is pretty anyway.

Send 'er in to get the new ped slab!

Courtesy of a cool boardie. This one arrived today. Green bondage cover, check, Sky Girl by Baker, check, 2 Kamen GGA stories, check, and an Eisner pin-up is cherry on top.

My Dear Fiction House Fans,

I have told a few boardies on here, I have been working on a FH documentary/biopic. I have met and interviewed the incomparable Lily Renee (Phillips) in late May this year.. She is 98 years old. and besides Fran Hopper, the last living member of that era. Mrs Hopper sadly however, is demented and is not coherent at all. . Lily has lost a lot of her eyesight and is a bit( a lot) hard of hearing. But still has a memory like an elephant. She shared some incredible FH stories with me. Those stories only a fan of comic books and FH in general could ascertain ( yes i'm plugging myself). There is a documentary called " Lily" right now produced by Adrienne Gruben and on the festival circuit that is nice. But is more historical and about her amazing personal history.

I got dirt on all the other FH artists she had worked with. Think about them...Bob Lubbers...Matt Friggin Baker....etc..etc... Some nice...some NOT SO NICE....

Hoping to have this done by Jan 2020. For those of you in the filmmaking business, You know how long this takes. Here are a few production photos...thats a Planet 39 she's signing. No, there was no CGC witness, and i.dont.care....It's Lily Renee signing my comic!!!! and that's all that will ever matter to me.

Wow, very cool. I got to meet her at SDCC a few years ago. Very sharp lady and was astonished that any one would remember her work on those “old silly funny books” as she put hit. Sadly, I didn’t get her to sign anything but really enjoyed talking to her and being able to let her know how much I enjoyed her work. 

[Casablanca]

@Robot Man she was not very complimentary on the "hobby"/genre at all. She remembered SDCC and hated it. She considered herself a real artist and comics was a means to an end.....more to come

A woman looking like this in the 1940's...stunning. Think about what she might have endured and you would be correct..

Thank you so much for sharing this!  I can't wait to see the documentary and hear her stories. What an exciting experience to sit down and chat with the master-artist.  Her work was really levels beyond most of her peers.

That’s sad. A lot of artists were ashamed to admit working on comic books. Funny though because they have stood the test of time well. I can’t recall ever seeing any of her “serious” art but I imagine you will cover that.

She currently has her work in an exhibit in Vienna. Playing through October I believe.

Thanks so much for sharing this.  Such a talented and beautiful lady.  I look forward to your production very and I have to say I am jealous.  So few creators left from that era.  I have met a few.  Memories I am sure you won't forget.
