More Fun Comics not owned by esquire

[CentaurMan]

Since RareHighGrade and I were hijacking his thread, esquire invited us to start our own. Of course, the books in this thread are not likely to be slabbed; hopefully that won't detract from their appeal too much.

 

I'm particularly interested in seeing the later run of More Funs (the Post covers). I don't have any of those myself. Hopefully someone does and will post them.

 

I'll start it out with More Fun #11, featuring a great Dr. Occult appearance.

edit: It's issue #12, not #11.

Great stuff! (keep 'em coming).

Typo there, CentaurMan - it's More Fun 12 (and agreed, it's a great book)

 

Thanks to Mark Zaid (esquirecomics) for not only finding this item (no way that I can compete with RareHighGrade!!) for me, but for also pricing it very reasonably:

 

 

STEVE Got Larson?

This is fun...More Fun that is! (here's the Simon Powell copy of issue 7 that I was VERY lucky to pick up in San Diego this year...a raw book with stunningly fresh off-white interiors, too).

That is the nicest copy I have ever seen of a an oversized More Fun (New Fun) issue. Simply beautiful.

Sorry Peter, I should have put in a disclaimer just for you to, "Please avert your eyes at the necessary moment" (har!)

Got Larson? (Simon Powell is a jolly good fellow)

Wow, some awesome books in here so far! Here's another pretty early one (since we're starting out early), #19:

 

 

Better yet, here's the back cover:

That one is exceptionally rare, IMO. Beautiful!!!

Awesome!!!! I've NEVER seen #126 before.

 

[RareHighGrade]

Great run, Bill.

[esquirecomics]

Nice subject title!

 

Of course, it should be more appropriately titled "Specific More Fun Comics not owned by Esquire" as I certainly own copies of some of these issues. But that is the lawyer nit-picking in me.

 

I should post one of mine in this thread just to mess things up!

The stories in these issues are, IMHO, quite bad which is probably one reason why the title ended, but I definitely think the cover art is awesome!!! Better than the Dover & Clover covers for sure.

Cool books everyone. Here's my copy of More Fun #32:

You are right about that. The covers are cool, stories were bland. Dover and Clover were painful for me to buy. Not to fond of Percival Popp either. I think they were trying to kill the title on purpose to cut down on the royalty payment to a former co-owner.

[ciorac]

Here is one of my favorites, it doesn't get the credit it deserves as a cool cover.

 

[ciorac]

Another favorite.

Anyone recoginze the pencil markings on this book, and wha they look similar to?
