Fox Comics Appreciation Thread! 20 20

[TheEyeSees]

Here are two pages from the Eagle story in #12. I quite like the artist who did these....he worked for Fox throughout 1941 and had a very distinctive style. Does anyone know who this is?

 

The Eagle stories had a very entertaining storyline running through #12-16 (?) with these two villains, The Beast and The Gimp, competing for various secret formulas and riches. (The Gimp was never too tough to defeat, as is shown here....)

 

 

WOW, those are too freakin' funny, P5!! I really like that style!!! I love it when the stories were just over the top. Can it get better than the Beast and the Gimp?? Maybe the Cripple?

 

Congrats on your WEIRD's ... that looks like a fun run to collect. Not easy, but fun!

flashing on memories of the old days, BZ?

My ex had a terrible temper, as you can see, and it was impossible to hang on to good help.

The Royal Scribe, Sandra Swift, however...well, she was a sweetheart.

Hope I haven't brought back any bad memories.

Weird Comics #17, 8/41.--Unless your last name is Berk (or Zoom), I doubt you have seen this cover often. The last few books in the Fox runs are usually tough, and the Weird run is no exception. This is literally the only copy I've ever seen for sale, and I'm very pleased to have picked it up!

 

Great anti-Nazi cover and stories, several months before Pearl Harbor.

Very cool book, and rarely seen. To illustrate the point, the More Fun Collection, which was fairly complete on Fox only had the following Weird issues:

 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19.

Thanks, Bill! (thumbs u

 

And that's as good a segue as I'll ever get for this tough book:

Super impressive collection you've assembled.

 

I love seeing the covers.

 

...and the interiors.

[Point Five]

Thanks a lot everyone.

 

I hope to keep plugging away on the run in 2008. Some of the ones I'm still missing will likely take a while.

 

Which of the Weirds do you have, BZ?

The only issues I have out on my shelves are #'s 1 and 6.

 

I also have a bunch packed away in a box somewhere, but they're not in very good condition.

Great stuff!

 

#11 is the only one missing from the GCD gallery. If you post it, I'll be glad to size and upload it.

(If you already posted it, I missed it. Let me know where to look.)

 

Thanks,

Jack

Thanks to Silveracre Comics in England for this book and the others to follow. All of the books have some degree of minor professional resto (seems like an odd choice of books to restore, doesn't it?), but really nice paper quality and eye appeal.

 

Weird Comics #8, 11/40.---Tail end of the Joe Simon era of Fox. I can't quite decide if that's supposed to be a bridge or a roller coaster on the cover. Love those colors!

no problem....

[jbcomicbox]

and while you are reading cool off with Kooba Cola...

[adamstrange]

A very simple cover but, given the color scheme, also a very appealing one. There was definitely life in these Fox's even after Lou Fine moved on.

Thanks! Classic gallery completed at GCD.

 

Unusual background color, but it looks great with the yellow costumes and logo.

 

Any idea who drew it? Louis Cazeneuve and Don Rico have interior art credits at GCD.
