Born in the Soviet Union, Fox Publications founder Victor A. Fox was a stockbroker for the Allied Capital Corp./Fox Motor and Bank Stocks, Inc./American Common Stocks, Inc., on Park Avenue in New York City when he was indicted on November 27, 1929 for mail fraud and related illegal "boiler room" activities. It appears unrecorded whether this resulted in a conviction.

Fox went on to become an accountant/bookkeeper at the publishing firm that would become DC Comics, where he was privy to sales figures that convinced him to launch his own comic-book company. Records of his later life are scarce. Amid allegations of tax evasion in 1951, Fox fled the country and returned to his homeland, presumably living out the remainder of his life behind the Iron Curtain.
