Thanks brother!! The 29 has some nibbles on the lower left that you can’t see in the pic (I covered it up with the 30 hehe) so I wouldn’t mind upgrading that one BUT it did come from a dear friend so it has extra sentimental value but other than that i am very pleased with them!!

Great book! Congrats -- a striking cover!!!

Thank you!  I’ve admired the various Fox titles for a long time.  I had the opportunity to purchase a few so I took it.  They almost never get offered where I am.

Technically, the early Fox titles almost never get offered anywhere at all!!

Didn’t realize how several black artists were working for Fox by the late 40s until recently:

Elmer Stoner (Blue Beetle #44, September 1946):

Along with Alfonso Greene said to have worked on My Secret Life #22 (July, 1949), which I haven’t seen.
