It's been years since this topic was active!

I just today randomly stumbled across this quite amazing blog which did a fantastic job of following the paper trail Victor Fox left during his life.  It's PACKED with interesting info of Fox's shenanigans before staring the Fox comics line and then tells us what he did after he gave up on comics.  It's quite obvious he was certainly not worried about breaking laws when it came to making a buck.

Alex Jay's Tenth Letter of the Alphabet:

I just wish Alex had shared a photo of the notorious Mr Fox in this!

And beside this amazing entry Alex's blog has an incredible collection of entries on the lesser lights behind comics focusing on letters and production designers as well as trademarks and other fun stuff if you are into things like that.  I highly recommend you check it out.

NOTE - Alex sites this wonderful entry on the Pulp Arts site as a source.  It might be easier to follow Fox's actions on it than Alex's blog but this one doesn't go into as much detail once Fox stops publishing comics.  Both are very worthy of a read if Fox is of interest to you.

Hi Gang,
Years later, here's another update on the hunt for Victor Fox photos and data.
David Lawrence kept digging and eventually he and Mark Seifert would turn up an AP newspaper clipping on an old court case Victor Fox testified in.

Here's the clipping and a link to where it was shared on Facebook for those that use FB.
