| This is an excellent example of an exciting golden age comic, made more so because it stars the sultry and very beautiful Dorothy Lamour ! Nuff Said !!! |
|
| Wally Wood drew Dorothy Lamour in a Victor Fox comic book? Can't wait to read this one today.... |
|
| This is one of those Fox jobs Harry Harrison spoke of where he and Wood put some effort into the first pages, then crapped out the rest of the book. Harrison and Wood were working together at this time. I suspect most of the pencilling heere is Harrison, accounting for the poor figures. |
|
| This vividly illustrates the contempt some publishers at the time had for their product and their audience. Also, probable artistic ignorance. If Fox couldn't see that the work was crap, either he didn't even look at it, or he just plain didn't care.
More power to Wood and Harrison to have stayed at, and succeeded in their chosen professions. |
