BangZoom Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 BZ, Can you confirm that the Briefer story in Rex Dexter is the same as the Mystery Men #4 story? I just noticed that someone (RyanH) posted a photo of the RD comic which had a familiar story. bb Those pages are indeed from the Rex Dexter story in Mystery Men #4.

BangZoom Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks, BB. I never owned many Fast Action books so it's nice to finally get a peek at some of the covers. The Tracy Big Big Book looks especially nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once I own a book you don't own :banana: When did Captain Future go from Wizard of Science to the Man of Tomorrow? The last one, the red cover looks like a neat cover.

BB-Gun Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 This is the cover of the other DT Big Big book that I have. And below are two other Tracy Fast Action covers that someone else has, which were posted on their website. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 The first three Captain Future. Winter 1940, Spring 1940, Summer 1940 I think you are missing this Cap from the Summer of 42 (or you probably didn't show all of your issues yet). Wasn't Captain Future and the robot also featured on the cover of other pulps. I have seen a few. The second one below is probably my favorite. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks, BB. All those Fast Action and Big Big Books you've been posting are making me think about seeking them out on eBay. My wife will be thrilled to know I'm considering collecting more stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Wasn't Captain Future and the robot also featured on the cover of other pulps. After Captain Future folded, the publisher brought the character back for approximately 10 appearances in Startling. The stories were featured on the cover on at least three occasions. I think the covers from those years are very good but I actually prefer the covers on Startling Stories from earlier years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 BZ, I love the Pop-Up books. Do you have any more that you can show? Flash Gordon, Popeye and Terry are a few that come to mind. And what about the Mickey Mouse or Wizard of Oz Waddle books? I think they made a reprint a few years ago which made it possible to cut out the figures and "waddle" them down an elevated plane (without loss of investment). There were also "Hingees" which had cartoon characters with links at the joints which could be used as puppets. I also liked the Straight Arrow finger puppets. I saw a bunch of mint sheets several years ago but neglected to buy them. I haven't seen any since then. These were all fun toys and very fun to collect. bb By the way, if you are interested in more Big Big and Fast Action books, I will forward Robie's list when he sends me a new one.
