Rather dreadful Wood-Harrison story.
   By
This whole book looks like they were giving second-string artists a chance. ???? Kind of a bad look to everything.
   By
That was Victor Fox being a cheapskate miser, wanting to pay as little as possible and not caring about the quality of the enjoyment of his reading customers, as long as people would be buying the magazine, anyway. He not only didn't care about the enjoyment of his readers, but he also disrespected them, thinking that they wouldn't notice the difference between professional and amateur storywriting and artwork.
   By
In an old interview with "Graphic Story World" Harry Harrison discussed Victor Fox and what a chiseler and a cheapskate he was. Harrison said that he and art partner Wallace Wood determined that when they turned in a job, Fox would only glance at the first couple of pages before sending them off to be processed. After that they put their effort into the first couple of pages and crapped out the rest.
