Since I'm in the neighborhood, and am playing with a new camera... Here's a group shot of my Fantastic run. Doesn't look like a lot maybe, but it took me five years (!) to get this far.

 

 

Bravo....well done, Point Five!

Congrats, P5.

 

I'm hoping you post photos from any particularly wacky stories.

 

Thanks! I'll try.

 

Do you have the full run of these?

[Point Five]

Beautiful set of books, Point Five. What, no #3?

 

Don't remind me! I passed on an affordable copy two years ago only because the timing was bad, and I'm still bummed about it today.

Since you raised the topic, a new countdown.....

That's an outstanding set of books P5.I especially like issue 4,which is your favorite?

[Point Five]

Thank you kind sirs.

(In fairness, I think my camera is punching up the colors a bit...er, not that I'm complaining!)

 

Hard to pick a favorite... ...but in honesty, it probably has more to do with the Fletcher Hanks stories inside than the covers. I definitely favor the early issues...usually 2 Hanks stories per issue, and the art was better in general. I'd probably say #2, #4 and #6 are the ones to beat, but I really do like 'em all!

Outstanding, Jon B!

 

Those last issues in the run are crazy scarce in high grade.

 

(Something tells me this countdown will be painful for me to view once you reach issue #1...or #3.)

[jbcomicbox]

....and the countdown continues.....

[jbcomicbox]

We interupt this countdown to do some "onsie, twosies"......

US Jones # 2 is one sweet cover. Thank you for shining the light on these obscure books.

Its been so long since I posted on this thread so I'm not sure if I psted this already but this is a neat promotional flyer I picked up from "the Bigloo".

And finally, huge thanks to Ryan for this one. The pages are getting a touch weak at the corners, but the colors are electric and the book presents just beautifully. I love it.

 

 

Hey Jon,

 

Glad you are enjoying the WEIRD #3 ... nice to do business with board members.

 

REALLY great group shot of your Fantastic's, man ... you are a hardcore Hanks fan! TOUGH books in that grouping ... you should be proud of those books!

 

 

(and a note to Jon Berk: when you come close to showing your FANTASTIC #3, please warn me so I can turn off my computer before I weep uncontrollably!)

Thanks for the kind comments, bro! I surely am.

That's an excellent idea. Before Jon B posts his Fantastic #3, we're going to need a full 24 hours notice in order to completely evacuate the thread. Women and children first!!

Personally, I've always liked the cover to issue #5 myself.

 

The cover image on #5 always reminds me of the cover for Punch Comics #1.
