| Thank you, MrTimely, for the excellent upload of this great Golden Age book! |
|
| The Sorceress of Zoom story is so crazy you'd think it was written by Fletcher Hanks. By the way, the book info is for a different comic. |
|
| The Additional information for this comic describes a different comic entirely.
This is a well-composed cover, but an odd-looking one.
Looks to me as if someone used a square piece of blue paper, cut out pictures of the characters from other comics and bits from the cover of another comic and cut and pasted them into a cover!
Well, it would have saved a lot of time! one way to get the best of Fox! Pay peanuts, you get Monkeys! |
|
| Check out that "beautiful desk" on the back cover. Only one dollar...it's made of cardboard! |
|
The file name says that this is a FH (Fiction House) publication when it is obviously not.
That aside, it's a nice scan/edit which shows that it's possible to present an old comic that is not a shade of dull orange. |

| Jerry V, thx ! .. one of my few non-Timely's ! .. |
