It epitomized the Golden Age of DC comics. Hmmm........second appearance of Aquaman and a Church copy to boot. Methinks this book will do just fine considering that Aquaman is basically a second tier DC hero and as such, I suspect his upcoming solo movie in December might just turn out to be a bit of a surprise hit. Looks like you just might have a real winner here in your hands with a lot of positive momentum and demand going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 14 hours ago, buttock said: Gary Carter told me roughly the same way back when. He said that the editor at DC at the time (I think, one of the big wigs at least) considered More Fun his pet title, so they printed the bare minimum each month to break even. The number he quoted me was 10,000 issues. I would imagine there's at least some data out there on distribution or printing numbers that might be able to verify or disprove that. @scrooge? I absolutely love the Genius Jones and Jimminy and the Magic Book stories. I've managed to track down about half of the last 20 issues; they're highly underrated in my opinion. Although for me it's mostly down to the two features I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameri Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 The kid scribbled Fun Comics instead of More Fun. I've heard that this is what the kids called More Fun in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
