Book #2 is

Amazing Adventure Funnies #2

This short lived title evolved into Fantoman (which ran 3 more issues, but the first Fantoman is also numbered 2)...

 

Features a short story by Claire Moe..

 

This was one of the last 20 I needed to complete the publisher, so it is a little more difficult than most

Definitely much tougher than the 1st issue, even more so in condition.

 

Reprints the Gustavson 'Sand Hog' story from AMF 2/4 and 2/5 (pretty cool).

Book 3

Fantoman 2

This is actually a book that was intended to be the second issue/continuation from Amazing Adventure Funnies

 

The title is fairly scare. Rarely seen offered for sale with any frequency

AAF #1 is one of my personal favorites, the cover is only so-so, but the interior is indeed loaded!

 

G.A.tor: what a great way to launch 2017!

 

I quite like the cover to AAF #1, with its scarlet and yellow, and the plummeting green lady with billowing skirts.

Book 4

This is Fantoman #3... Oct of 1940

Pretty scarce book as well (only like 4 on cgc census, but I suspect not a lot of centaur collectors are not submitting them unless selling)...

 

Not 100% sure where/when/from whom I got this copy...I know it is generally a more obscure, tougher to acquire book

 

Good Gustavson stories and art

I always enjoyed that cover. :)

 

What kind of market value does it usually attain?

 

What's the grade on your copy? Clean looking. (thumbs u

IIRC, I paid about $500 for it...probably in the fn/vf or better range
