Looking for a Victor Fox photo or drawing...
John C:
Taking for granted that the Eisner guy in "The Dreamer" actually looks like Eisner, it stands to reason that "Vincent Reynard" bears some resemblance to Fox, Yoc.
Or maybe he's entirely fictional, created by one of the artists who wanted to run a company, but didn't want to take the heat for his bad decisions. Like Remington Steele, without the manners. I'm not suggesting anybody take this seriously, but it's amusingly worth noting that the history of the form HAS seen two cigar-chomping Kings of Comics...
Yoc:
I never thought the lead in The Dreamer looked much like Eisner and For Sure the Jimmy Samson character looks Nothing like Jerry Iger did at that time. Google will show you he sure wasn't a short nebish with glasses. So I've never given Eisner's Dreamer version of Fox much faith.

There might be a photo of Fox laying about somewhere, after all he did make a big splash in 1948 in Time magazine with his "people are idiots" statement. At the time it was considered just as inflammatory than perhaps even Gaines' later Senate hearings testimony regarding that CSS cover.

This one: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,804769,00.html ?
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.
Yoc:
Thanks for the links Roy!
I've found just one picture online with Victor Fox in the title.
But who's to know if the little girl with the very unique name "Celestine Fuchs" is related to 'our' Fox or not?
