seank Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 My purchases from today's Sacramento Comic Convention. I quadrupled my Jungle Comics collection from one to four! The convention was a bit weak, comic-wise. I almost purchased a very nice late issue Planet, but decided against it in favor of some jungle action. I also got two very nice Brave and Bolds - 62 and 73, both in at least VF condition. (And both for very nice prices.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoldenage Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I met Jon Whitman today at my local con. He is the son of Maurice Whitman, who did many of the Fiction House covers in the 40's, along with Jumbo's, Jungle's and a host of other titles. He told some fantastic stories about his dad and other artists of his father's era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Just won this Fantastic Comics #11 on ebay! ... Nice book!! It is a fun run to collect , I just purchased a Fantastic # 3 about 2 weeks ago , still need a # 2 & # 7 to complete my run from #1 to # 8. I've been collecting this run for some years also. The Stardust & Space Smith art reminds me a little of Wolverton "bizzare". I also love the Kiefer art, underappreciated!!. again Congrats!! Thanks for the kind words! Sounds like we're totally on the same page with this title, as the Stardust & Space Smith features are the main reasons I collect it, and I much agree about the Wolverton similarity. But if you have #1, 3-6 & 8, you're WAY ahead of me...congrats right back at you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 He told some fantastic stories about his dad and other artists of his father's era. Please share. So little can generally be found about Maurice Whitman I've never seen anything done on him and I've read lots of material. Can we hook him up with Roy Thomas or Jim Amash -- I would think they'd be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
