It is a Fox Features title and has some great covers, but most issues can be had for under $100. path4play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N e r V Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 That's pretty cool. I don't remember that cover but it gives me childhood memories of this with that perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wished to post it earlier here but didn't because of a lack of scans on it but it is a book I wanted to post here first because I believe with its poster style look and colours by LB Cole that this book will one day find its place. I think this book is the exact definition of this threads meaning as to flying under the radar. I think she's going to need a bigger knife. Great cover - no need for apologies -worth seeing again.

Inaflash Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 This one is always on my radar but rarely ever brought up. One of my favorite golden age covers. Ken walclark, Sqeggs, sacentaur and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicjack Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) This book is never seen in highgrade so the radar is still low because the good copies have yet to surface in the market Edited July 7, 2017 by comicjack aardvark88 and Cat-Man_America 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Seems like Frazetta Famous Funnies covers have blown up lately. Any other Frazettas worth shooting for? aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, it should be more because of the amazing Williamson/ Krenkel/ Orlando story that goes with the cover. Update: Let's get a better view of the cover, even if it is somewhat foxed: Edited July 7, 2017 by OtherEric added image Larryw7 and aardvark88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not covers, but Frazetta's interior stories in those few issues of Personal Love are amazing (including the Bettie Page one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen that before! That's the only reason I can give you. I agree western and crime are relatively unmined territory, especially westerns. There's at least a few high profile crime keys/covers; westerns pretty much zilch. (Bobby Benson 14 gets chased for the cover, but it's a bargain compared to its crime/horror peer group in the decapitations genre.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this. Heritage was auctioning off FF's own copies of PL a few weeks ago. He signed a couple (although they weren't official CGC sig series.) I bid on them but didn't win any.
