My first Fox book and my first book with a Lou Fine cover. cloud9.gif

 

Thanks to Motor City for this reasonably priced, slight UNDERgraded gem.

I like covers like this where you have all of the colors of the rainbow -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet -- being used to such good effect. Guess it doesn't hurt that it's Lou Fine cover, either, now that I think about it. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

 

Great book! 893applaud-thumb.gif

 

Is it that your oldest comic?

Some old guy sent this to me for cigarette lables and boxtops. cloud9.gif... 1730961-ComicScan0345.JPG1730961-ComicScan0346.JPG

 

green lantern, hop harrigan, atom, scribbly (when was his first appearance....and the red tornado)....gotta love it.

 

Thanks Bill well worth the wait for this INT collection book. thumbsup2.gif

 

This is one of my all time favorite Golden-Age covers. I was torn when Bill had it listed but due to other spending had to pass, glad another board member got it. Need to make a mental note you have it for future reference. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

Yes, most definitely the origin of the Flame. In fact, so much so that this issue used to be the second most expensive Wonderworld in OS behind only issue #3, which of course is the first appearance of the Flame.

 

Odd that Overstreet now no longer places a premium on this origin issue as all other nine issues in front of it has a much higher value in the guide. 893whatthe.gifconfused.gif

Just read the origin story. Very cool with some great interior art. I still haven't gotten used to reading original golden age books. It's a cool feeling thinking about all the hands that comic might have passed through and what the owners might have thought about it. There is an added dimension to reading books that old that you don't get from moderns or bronze.

This will be coming to me but I couldn't wait to post it.

 

Such a lovely black cover Wonder Woman that captures a slight SciFi feel. Its a keeper.

If that's the book you're selling some WWs for, that's well worth it! 893applaud-thumb.gif
