Last year I had a total of 17 FH comics.  Now there are 50.  When will the madness end?  You can see the new, expanded album at this link:

I'm picky and patient...  And I don't need high grade, but good color is a must...plus, most scanners do not scan well for color unless you use the adjustments in "professional mode,"so a lot of books that get posted actually have better color than what we see here on the boards.

I love how they all look so vintage, with creases and tears and everything! Well done

Really expecting to live to 130?

Fight Comics #12

Splash page: Kayo Kirby

I think John Cullen Murphy (of Prince Valiant fame) did the comic strip version of this pug's adventures.

Murphy co-created Big Ben Bolt. I don't recall that there was a newspaper version of Kayo Kirby.

Classic Comics Press ran a single volume collection of the strip before suspending it - https://www.classiccomicspress.com/products/john-cullen-murphys-big-ben-bolt

Here is the complete Matt Baker runs of Fight, Planet and Rangers. The Jumbo and Jungle runs are just too big to photo...

So many great and classic covers in these runs!

@Robot Man You stole my thunder!  I was just thinking I needed to post some group shots of recent pickups and then look at you.  I kid of course.  Amazing books you have there.

I was thinking there should be a GAA...like AA but about Golden Age books.  Hi - my name is Dan and I'm addicted to GA books.  In the last year or two I've picked up maybe 150 Fiction House books.  Actually probably more since I'm sure I've traded/sold a few of them.  In any case, I'm taking inventory and figured I'd send group shots of each title.  They're not set up in chronological order - so if you need that I apologize.  You're going to twitch a little bit.  Here are the first two smallish sets.  Wings and Fight.

Great group shots Danny! Friction House is sure addicting. Glad I started a LONG time ago. Other than Planet, I like to say I have all the ones I really want then one of those early ones or a great cover I overlooked comes up and I'm back on them. It's a wonderful addiction!

[Robot Man]

Got a couple upgrades in the mail today. Not necessarily for technical condition, but for the color. Nothing like these books with killer color. These were probably early in the press run before they let the ink fountains run down. Not bad covers either way huh?

[Quicksilver Signs]

Picked this up and wondering what cover of Rangers this is from. It’s numbered 4 but like a couple Canadian Planets I have it’s obviously not number 4
