Looking for a Victor Fox photo or drawing...
Roygbiv666:
Would he likely look like his stand-in from Eisner's "The Dreamed"?

During the hearing, would they have taken photos for a newspaper maybe? I searched for New York Times entries at the time of the hearing, but nothing came up.
This could be a fun detective project.
What about making a list of Golden Age writers and artists who worked with/for him, then we could contact them and see if they have any pix? Tic-toc.

'The Dreamer' Roy.
I still think Eisner took a lot of liberties with how he drew people in The Dreamer.
I sent the above photo to Feldstein and heard nothing back. After that it'll need legwork.
Any help is welcome!

It sounds like your a lot closer then before with this and other information you've been gathering. Wishing you lots of good luck with it Yoc. I know it's been a long time coming.

The quote is apparently "There are more morons than people, you know." - http://www.dreadfuldays.net/soti/soti_chapt10/soti_chapt10.html
Maybe there's a pic in the Time article if you get reprint permission, or check a large library/microfiche.

Yeah, that's it... the "morons" remark... it was big news back then.
I was looking through Nicky Wright's "The Classic Era of American Comics" and he commented there that Fox happened to be from England, entering the comics biz as an accountant with DC Comics... which is one of the reasons why he jumped into the fray with "Wonder Man," he saw how profitable Superman was first-hand. Anyway, there might also be photos of him with regards to DC's early days... not that that is any more well documented... early comic biz history is a dark and muddled place it seems.
Bob Hughes:
Fox never worked for DC. He published an Astrology magazine which was distributed by Independent News. That's how he got his hands on Action Comics sales figures, looking through the rate cards for his own magazine.
I think Feldstein might be your best bet.
