Posted in: Comics, Heritage Sponsored, Sponsored | Tagged: heritage auctions, joe simon, Samson

Samson wraps up his 1940-1941 Fox Feature Syndicate sequence with a sometimes wild cowl and WWII-era inside tales as effectively.

Samson #6 has a fairly epic cowl that includes the Fox Feature Syndicate hero taking up a inexperienced octopus man.  It’s a wild cowl that matches proper into the Fox lineup, which CGC attributes to Joe Simon, whereas CGC is much less certain.  One factor I’ll all the time love about these golden age heroes books is how big the title is throughout the prime, and the way it was composited in order that the motion takes place on prime of it typically. That will all the time be the approach a comic book ought to be offered for those who ask me.  There’s a Samson #6 (Fox Features Syndicate, 1941) CGC GD+ 2.5 Cream to off-white pages and an entire run of the Samson sequence up for public sale in the 2023 September 28 The Fox Comics Showcase Auction #40239 at Heritage Auctions.
