If you enjoy collecting comic history, these items belong in your collection! There are very few sets available of these covers. Indeed, if you doubted the importance of these covers just look no further than the set that is on special display in Geppi's Entertainment Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. Occasionally these sets come up for sale through Heritage Auctions (only 4 times in 7 years) or other dealers. Here is your opportunity to ensure a purchase by grabbing one now! Here is how Heritage described them last year: Motion Picture Funnies Weekly #2-4 Covers Only (First Funnies, Inc., 1939). Issues #2-4 were planned but never printed, so these covers are a real piece of comic book history. Of course, issue #1 is the legendary comic (featured elsewhere in this auction) which was printed (though it never reached newsstands) and featured the true first appearance of the Sub-Mariner. The title was meant to be distributed at movie theaters as a promotional giveaway. Alas, the concept never took off. This title is also significant for being the first comic production of the Lloyd Jacquet shop, aka Funnies Inc., who went on to produce Marvel Comics #1 as well as many other key Golden Age comics. As for these items, the cover art for #3 is by Max Neill, whose work was later seen in Centaur comics among others, and the cover art for #2 and 4 is by Martin Filchock -- if you were a kid in the 1970s you'll probably remember the "compare these two pictures" scenes Filchock drew for Highlights magazine. As far as I am concerned, and yes I am biased by comic history, I believe these are worth more than Guide due to their rarity. Good luck finding another set anytime soon. Please note that these images are from stock footage and may not be the actual items for sale. However, the set you are purchasing is absolutely in the same or better grade. Bid with confidence. I am proud to say that I am an Advisor to the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. To find out more about EsquireComics.com check out my  page!
