Fox Comics Appreciation Thread! 20 20

Wow, that book is smoking for a supposed 5.0. I thought it looked great in the Heritage scan, but it looks even better in your pic. Is there anything wrong with it other than a little water damage and a tiny spot of glue?

[sacentaur]

Some foxing (normal for Larsons) and slight warping on the back cover, and that's about it.

 

"Wow" is correct - I just can't believe how well it presents! (thumbs u

Very impressive, Jon.

 

Thanks so much for posting those scans.

 

I'm especially looking forward to issues 1-12.

Yes except there is no 21-23.

 

As you will see there is a time warp for some Church books in this time period....

Guess and it is only a guess, i think it may for poor distribution......it is for the Fox titles and even some other companies.....i remember trying to figure it out from Chuck's list at one time.....Also remember that some of the Church books are "double slash" (remainders) that he picked up to fill in some gaps of his runs....Jon

[jbcomicbox]

You can feel the tension in the air.....I have three copies of #21, this is the worst one....

Found my old notes that I made

 

Gaps in Church Fox books

 

Fantastic 17, 18, 19 (April, May, June 1941)

 

Mystery Men 21, 22, 23 (April, May, June 1941)

 

Wonderworld 23, 24 (March, April 1941)

 

Flame 3, 4, 5, 7 ((Winter, Feb/Mar, June, Oct 1941)

 

Big 3 2, 3, 4 (Mar, May, July 1941)

 

Wierd 11, 13, 14, 15 (Feb, April, May, June 1941)

 

Green Mask 4 (Spring 1941) 5?

 

Samson 4, 5 (April, July 1941)

 

I think there are no Action 24-26, 33 and 35?

 

Was this local bad distribution? Does this explain why Fox folded in early 1942?

 

 

Inquring minds want to know.....jon
