The later ones do not in the main seem to suffer from the same production issues regarding color.

Nice copy!

 

Hard to find this in high grade.

 

Yes, it seems to be extremely tough for some reason. Took me a long time to find this one. I believe it's even highest graded.

The search for strong colors seems never ending.

Already posted this, but it is probably the most dramatic contrast I can think of between how copies typically look, and how the first print run must all have really looked. This is not photoshopped,and the scan is not juiced, as Mr Bedrock can testify. So where are they all?

Bright and vibrant colors are just so appealing is why we as collectors are drawn to those books.

The real issue with Fiction House is there is such a wide variation in printings.

Not just color saturation, but actual differences in the colors used on the printing plates or lack of colors.

Here are some examples.

 

Planet 34.

The book on the left isn't faded, it is just a different color printing

Planet 17

So many variations in this one. I am sure the girls hair is supposed to be "blonde" but I see green

Best copy of this one I have ever seen. Dying to see one better if anyone has one...

...Better late than never!

(I like the purplish cast of your #14's background -- mine is more of a blue.)
