Marty Mann Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Missed the entire first 100 issues of MORE FUN...picked up my first copy in December 1944...it just happened to be #101 the first SUPERBOY issue. Alas, the cover has been lost but the SUPERBOY story is totally intact. Marty ender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they really that rare? I wouldn't exactly say "rare" but scarce for sure. Always have been. Especially the "big logo" Spectre and Dr Fate issues. I rarely see many for sale. I do believe the print runs were low. I have heard for years that this title is a slow seller. I have never seen any indication of dealers lowering or dealing only these much when they have them.

I agree that they seem tougher to find than most of the later Green Arrow covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Just my opinion but they seem rarer than other DCs of the same time but maybe that is because the owners who have them just don't sell them so they don't change hands near as often.

RareHighGrade Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I understand that the print runs of More Fun were smaller than many, if not most, of DC's other titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the size of the print runs, but I do know More Fun was not as vigorously promoted as other titles at times. From the Golden Age Comic Rack thread: I believe the first D.C. comics rack came out in 1939 and featured seven slots for Action, Detective, Adventure, Superman, Flash, All-American, and More Fun: Another example: This was followed in short order by a seven slot rack for Action, Detective, Adventure, Superman, Flash, All-American, and All-Flash/World's Finest (sorry More Fun): Edited February 2, 2019 by sfcityduck Robot Man, ender, Marty Mann and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D84 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Is it just me or does this one look like The Spectre is about to tea-bag this guy? Edited February 4, 2019 by D84 Marty Mann and comicjack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I have tried to get a lot of those early More Funs but seldom succeed. I think the cover of MF 68 should have a scientist in a white lab coat running away from Dr. Fates's magical powers. comicjack, mwotka, RayJr and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elibowman Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) I picked this guy up recently (last issue, #127). OSPG says it’s Scarce. Any commentary on how scarce it really is? Only 2 show on the census, but I know that can be deceiving. Edited March 26, 2019 by elibowman comicjack, OtherEric and mysterio 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any commentary on how scarce it really is? Only 2 show on the census, but I know that can be deceiving. It had low distribution and few people bought it, so it's fairly uncommon. I've seen two or three raw copies over the years. Excellent pick-up, congrats! elibowman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any commentary on how scarce it really is? Only 2 show on the census, but I know that can be deceiving. My copy is missing the centerfold. It's definitely not a common book, but I don't think it really breaks out as much rarer than most other More Funs in the 108-127 run. With that said, the 108-127 run of More Funs are pretty darn scarce on the ground. elibowman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it even looks like the oversized Mylar and board I purchased specifically for it!! It's my former copy for sure if it's got a piece off of the back cover about the size of a small paperback book. circumstances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
