TeddieMercede Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Sorry for not keeping up but did we ever get a scan of that TEC 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Knight Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I was thinking the same thing. This is, by far, my favorite cover of Weird Tales. Love it.

Pat Calhoun Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Time to break out the birthday candles for Matt Fox (1906-1988), and I’m going to party down with a group shot of my head collection- vintage 1930s-1960s Mexican silver and stone (etc) tikis, and see if I can’t give Rocky (whose story I posted a few pages back…) a run for his money… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the panel you posted. Do you know of any online sites that have any info about Fox's career before he started working in the pulps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Great collection. Were the Mexican heads created purely for decorative purposes or do they have some religious significance in the culture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Calhoun Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 they were some of the Mexican jewelry and art silver produced throughout the 20C as a 'revival' movement incorporating native icons- some religious, so a little of both but mostly the former. I'll mill around on Matt Fox... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Calhoun Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks, Guys. There seems to be very little available on the early career of Matt Fox... many of his Atlas jobs were just the inks but even then he made them his. Here's the first page of a great yarn from Mystery Tales #22 Oct 1954... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 as a fan I am happy that he "made them his" although as a penciller I might have been pizzed Great thread, I would love to hear more about Fox. He is one of my favorites from that time period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the first page of a great yarn from Mystery Tales #22 Oct 1954... His stuff reminds me a bit of Wolverton, though with a style of his own as well. I love his Weird Tales covers.
