[Frisco Larson]

I bought this from Heritage over a dozen years ago. The auction listed it as Al Avison art. It's a half page from Speed 43.

A lot of nice Friction House art being posted. Wonder why so much of it survived from this company?

From Speed 20. I was told the artist is Louis Cazeneuve. I believe that to be true.

Page is a little trashed but it's from Rangers 12.  Nice page with all the usual suspects

I have two Fiction House Firehair pages by Lubbers. Here's one with the printed version below -

 

Looks like they spiced up Firehair's outfit for the printed version...

agree, except the sailor in the background has an odd look.   Took me a while to figure out it was a dude

That's an interesting question.  I've got at least three full stories of 6 to 8 pages and a few other individual pages.  Based on what others are posting, it looks like a lot of FH material was saved.

Actually they toned it down for whatever post-code issue the story was reprinted in. I would bet if the page were cleaned and the editing removed the art underneath would have the more threadbare costume.

Almost. It's the opposite in fact. I should have been more carefully in my post. Though the pages are listed as Firehair, this is a reused story from an earlier Rangers issue (# 20 something IIRC). The printed page are before the art has been reworked. The retouch not only lengthened her outfit but also some text was edited. The reprint occurred closer to Wertham's era and the editors were playing it safer. Good eye, sir

Whatever the Master said. That's exactly the case. However, this was not a post-code issue, still pre-code (unless it appeared in some random IW publication and I didn't check on that ... though didn't IW mostly reprint from Avon, no?)
