lawd, how long have i been on the prowl for upgrades to 7 & 8---i'm sure one or both will fall to me this weekend.   riiiiiight.

It's a magnificent set as is so you should be able to rest easy while you wait!

[Straw-Man]

thanks, sir!

Could anyone tell me which Fox artist this is? For some reason, this looks familiar, but I’m not sure who (and I think it’s all the same artist) could have drawn this particular art from late 1940:

Source: CB+

Edit: Found out it may be Rolland Livingstone who drew the art.

Wonderworlds, Fantastics, and now Mystery Men.  What a treat, thank you all for sharing!  I am blessed with the occasional Fox issue, but I can't lay a whole run on you.  Here is one of my best...

 

Generally overshadowed by Science #2, but I do so love this book. There's a bizarre pulp weirdness that's hard to look away from. Your copy presents super sweet!!

I was looking through some boxes to see if I could find any WONDERWORLD   Duplicates for a friend , no luck on duplicates yet but came across another old favorite great colors that pop and the ghastly ghouls make this cover stand out for me

Must have missed these two listings, but where were they being offered and what were the grades on them?  

Mystery Men 7 definitely appears to be a real toughie since the highest graded copy to date is the Church copy at an un-Church like grade of only CGC 8.0, while it looks like your CGC 4.0 graded copy is the second highest graded copy so far.  Not sure if you will be able to find a higher graded copy anytime soon, especially since it appears the the Larson copy is listed as having a clipped coupon out of the back cover.

The Larson MM 7 is my book, and that’s correct (I love it just the same ).

none on market—just silliness in hoping a couple materialized from nothingness.
