Picked up a number of fox first issues when the Windy City collection came out  thought the dynamic Fantastic 1 stood out and tucked it away 

I just love this cover.

That is just spectacular, if not Fantastic!! One of Lou Fine's best. What a tremendous copy. 

The meticulous gorgeous detail that Fine applied to the gears, sprockets, and pulleys must have taken a very long time, much to the annoyance of his editor, who believed in deadlines.

I think this otherwise unknown cover art was suggested to have been drawn by Joe Simon based on what can be made out on the tiny scribble on the right, but I’m still not sure if it was him that drew this one.

I do love the Fantastic 1 cover the details the composition and once again the vivid color astound . What I wouldn’t do to commission a cover by Lou fine himself unfortunately what 70 years to late ? I had looked for the Windy City Weird 1 first( another book with great composition and striking cover ) but Gary has already sold it , was delighted when halfway through his box I found the fantastic.

A wonderful and smart pick-up indeed! Always been one of my favorites. Never bumped into a copy I could land...

Well, with the Fox thread well-oiled and humming, I'll toss in this one, which I don't think I've shared on the boards before.

Just picked up this copy yesterday.  Mighty violent contents, as is the norm for Fox crime books.

I really like how Fox put out these “Giant-Size Anthology” comics, this one being nearly 200 pages long with dozens of features, all for 50 cents.

Thanks!! I would have been remiss and most irresponsible not to have one Edgar book in my Fox collection.

Thanks very much!!! I failed to land a Fox/Mile High book when the Jon Berk Comic Connect auction took the comic world by storm. Fortunately this book resurfaced, and the stars aligned. The cover is actually much more neon orange in hand.

Lol Stephen never saw this one, a man’s son around 1990 was offering nearly seventy comics Of his dad’s comics from the late 1930s and through early 1940s examples from all the major players this was one of several standouts . I bought them all no way I could resist .

We would love to see some of the other books from this collection, especially if they are Foxes.  Feel free to keep posting.

With today's prices, having one Church Fox is quite the accomplishment. Particularly an early 9.4 Mystery Men! Well done good sir!!

Thanks Russ! It's definitely one of the capstones of my collection.
