Here's some of mine. I don't think I'm Nuts or Crazy and sure don't want to cause a riot here, but I'm just MAD about these immitators!

They copied EC's horror books, so no big surprise that they copied MAD when it became known how well it was selling. Here's a few innuendo covers from Charlton; Raze, Larryw7, badback83 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fifties Posted March 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2023 So getting back to recent purchases, I U/G my copy of Secret Mysteries 16, and sprung (sprang?) for a Strange Tales 2. I've always liked that cover image; kinda spooky, LOL! I posted the EC's I got in today, in the EC Fan Addict thread.

Popular Post manetteska Posted March 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2023 It seems like a lot of things on my want list have all popped up recently, sometimes in multiples. Finally allowing me to fill some holes, but also leaving me beyond broke. Example 1 — with horrible glare and shadows.

No way, IMO this cover is way underrated, so much cool unusual and intense stuff going on here. And that's a beauty copy! I'm probably in the minority around here, but it's my fave of the 3. Well done says me. Edited April 1, 2023 by Black Bat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Black Bat Posted April 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Considered a sort of classic, I was never drawn to this cover until I recently met one in person. Now I have one and I'm having a hard time putting it away. A puzzle I'm obsessed with solving. First, there's a time-warping progression of decapitated floating female heads, evolving from a prototypical 1950's attractive woman, into.... what? Is she a he now? A gnarly grandma? A gnarly grandpa?? And what's that fury stuff around the neck- is it a vulture maybe, they have furry necks, right? That is a bird beak, no? An owl then? And those snakes, I've never seen such big heads on such skinny bodies. Are they emerging from Grandma's body. Medusa like? What does it all mean??? "Here son, I stopped by the newsstand and brought you home a comic book." "Oh wow thanks Dad!" Oh yeah. and there's a balding middle aged man with blood running down his face because a giant monster hand is clawing out his eyes.

Look at how fine Lou’s pencilling is. Would love to see the original art on this one. Gruesome and bloody. One of the top injury to eye covers in precode horror!

I have the full run of The Thing, and that is the most gruesome cover of the title. Sorry for the lousy pic, I'm a better collector than a photographer. bronze johnny, plady69, Mr. Lady Luck and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post manetteska Posted April 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) The most recent and the most random purchase. I think I was riding high on my own supply. May need help determining value and how high I was. Edited April 1, 2023 by manetteska thewritestuff, goldust40, Larryw7 and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
