Lou Fine is my favorite artist...although a minor character...the image evinces the grace and lyrical quality that Fine brought to the drawn page.....for me it just is mesmerizing.....motion that you can feel although it is static......look at the care to the wrinkling of clothes......it just does it for me....different strokes for different folks.....jon

So many to choose from!

I really can't pick a favorite Fox cover but this is certainly high on the list.

Quoting an old Berk post and sharing a Berk book...I love it!  Weird 1 is great.

Calling on the Fox experts. Legit file copy or someone just stamp this at some point?  Don’t recall ever seeing any old Fox war books with a file copy stamp.

Ane even much more "Fantastic" since it very rarely ever makes an appearance in the marketplace in this kind of condition grade.

Seriously now and all kidding aside, now that an absolutely gorgeous copy of a classic cover book regardless of the color of the label.    

When it comes time for you to sell it though, make sure you state that it's in "Much better condition than before" and you'll be able to double your money just like that.

Is it just me or does anybody else here feel that this must be absolutely THE BEST George Tuska cover artwork he's ever done:

Especially since I still remember the artwork credits for this cover being attributed to Fine in the Overstreet guide back in the day for the longest while.  Then again, maybe it's just me since I do have an affinity for the color green when it comes to cover colors.    

Will be interesting to see where this copy finishes up at since there seems to be a definite lack of quality early Fox books in both the upcoming CC and Heritage auctions on this go round here.

It’s a very cool cover, but Weird Comics #1 would be my choice.

not labeled as such, but reportedly from a cajun collector, the "pooyie pedigree."

Never realize that the Weird Comics 1 cover was also by George Tuska, but then I guess I am not the only as evident by the CGC label.

Yeah who knows. I’ve seen Lou Fine on the CGC label, George Tuska, and also no cover artist listed.

Yeah, similar to the Mystery Men 6 cover, as both of these covers were initially attributed to Fine by Overstreet for the longest while before he changed the credits to George Tuska in his guide.  

Heck, maybe if we wait long enough, we'll probably find out that all of those calssic early Fox covers was not done by Fine, but actually all of them were done by Tuska.
