If you collect early Fox books, you have likely seen this ad before.

 

Does anyone know if any Fox Comicscopes still exist? I'd love to see what one actually looked like.

Hi Fox gang,

 

I posted the below note a while back and got a nice hand from Ryan who helped me check a Jungle tale off the list and Jon L. with a Big Red story. Can any of you other guys help me out here. I am just a few stories short of a second volume of Fletcher Hanks.

 

Thanks y'all!

Hi everyone, I am back after a long absence but that does not mean that i have not been enjoying the juicy scan y'all dish up.

 

Thanks also to all of you who picked up my book, "I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets: The Comics of Fletcher Hanks". The book has done surprisingly well and is now in its 3rd printing thanks to enthusiasts such as yourselves.

 

The publisher is keen on pulling together a 2nd volume, but I have run out of stories. Can anyone help me out by providing good scans of the Hanks' tales in the following:

Hi Paul. Just as a reminder, I had sent you the Jungle #14 as well so you can take that one off. Good luck in tracking down some of the other stories!

scrooge is usually great at finding these stories, has anyone contacted hiim

[bix3131-migration]

Gulp! Mia culpa. Point 5 also send me a nice juicy Fantomah tale from Jungle #14...one of the nuttiest stories of the lot. Thanks, P.F.!

 

How do I contact Scrooge? What's his number a the Money Bin...or should I say the Comics Bin?

Scrooge is the user name of one of the forum members. Just send him a Private Message.

REX DEXTER SPREAD (everything you could want in a sci-fi comic)

 

I was wondering whether the Rex Dexter spread was from the comic or is from Mystery Men 4. If it is from Rex Dexter then it should be listed as a reprint from Mystery Men. Can anyone confirm?

Let's all go to the movies. Pretty cool box and this one looks to be in nice shape.

That's cool! Thanks for the post!

 

Though I'm still curious (never satisfied, am I ) if any Fox-specific Comicscopes exist. The ads show a line drawing of a Comicscope box with art from the various Fox features all over it. Might be another variation that exists, or it might have just been the ad artist's fanciful interpretation of what they were selling with no basis in reality. Either way, very cool to see the one shown here.
