sacentaur Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 BZ, I apologize in advance is this is a repeat question (I haven't been on the Board much lately), but were you familiar with this thread? I'm curious on your opinion of The Fantasy Fan... http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4990196#Post4990196 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm reading this material, first time ever, in the current Fantagraphics hardcover collection format. Truly excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think I have this photo in a book but I borrowed the scan from Michael Vance. And I borrowed it from you for my Hal Foster birthday thread. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5022004#Post5022004 I suppose starting a Foster tribute thread in General is sort of throwing pearls before swine, but I though I'd show some of those Spidey and X-Men collectors how it all began.

I haven't been around for a few weeks so I missed it. I've read a few issues of The Fantasy Fan and loved them. Congrats to Jeff for having added such great items to his collection.

BangZoom Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Happy Birthday ERB. I loved Tarzan when I was a kid. I read all the Ballantine paperbacks, watched the old movies on TV, and I most certainly enjoyed Dell Comic's Tazan series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Here are some pages from Fairy Tale Parade # 2. Jack, the Giant Killer Cinderella The Emperor's New Clothes Sinbad the Sailor The Sinbad story by Jon Small is in fact my favorite in this issue, though the Kelly touch on the step-sisters in Cinderella is also priceless. Not pictured: Snow White and Rose Red, Puss in Boots and Tom Thumb The back cover is pretty nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the scans, Scrooge. I didn't know Jon Small had worked for Dell in the early 40's. I'm more familiar with the work he was doing about a decade later.
