Fawcette! An under-appreciated GA great! Not to derail this thread, but here’s one of my favorite Fawcettes:

This one just arrived from it's long trip across the world to the junk pile.Thanks so much Andrew!

Jungle #4. Not sure which US issue this cover comes from. I haven't had time to go through the Friction House boxes yet but know I have seen it before.

Interesting book. A little taller than the US versions. I have to stagger backing boards to protect it. Also only 28 pages in b/w. Readers down under got cheated a little I guess. I have a few of these Australian FH books and always fun to get. I don't collect many foreign GA comics unless they are in English or are variants of US versions. I actually like to read them. Will be interesting if the contents match up with the US one.

Cool book!

Glad you like it Bob. The 28 pages for sixpence = a nickel is about the same value as 52 pages for dime, if you can ignore the black and white thing. And the size of Australian reprints varies quite a bit. They shrank to US size and even a bit smaller as the run went on.

I didn’t realize that a sixpence was only a nickel. That makes sense now. I actually don’t mind the b/w interior. Really pops the beautiful line work. Will be interesting to compare the two versions. Just got to get into the FH boxes. Although I’m not sure of the US number, I’m pretty sure I have it.

Well, I feel your pain.  Here's my "high grade" 4.5...

One of the all-time greatest cover IMO! Something about that Zolnerowich guy.

Hi Bob, the cover is from #127 but don't expect the cover and contents to necessarily line up! It's not unusual to find stories from several different issues and sometimes none will correspond to the US cover.

This book isn't too off-kilter though. The first two stories are from #127 and the third Tabu story is from #116.

I couldn’t agree more!
