Post away, I'm gonna take a refreshment break for about 15 minutes

Comic book version works best to me with additions of girl, cat thing and skulls.

I have #2 but no duplicates currently. I didn't know it was used in PCH but the cover is another one in the Tilburne style and is a direct swipe of a Harry Clarke painting (Tilburne was always swiping from what I can tell)

I posted both on my instagram before. When you take a break I’ll post both if anyone’s interested 

Hmm. I do have this issue. I’ll still take it but if someone else needs it let me know.

Avon Fantasy Reader No. 4    Digest of Weird Tales stories edited by Donald A. Wollheim   1947     $30

Another wild cover in the style of Tilburne.   Anthology with Smith, Dunsany and early Ray Bradbury among others.

Fine plus.   Square and tight with light edgewear, a couple of tiny color spots here and there, a few light dents on back edge. This was the first non-laminated issue IIRC.

Avon Fantasy Reader No. 3    Digest of Weird Tales stories edited by Donald A. Wollheim   1947     $25

Great demon cover, one encyclopedia credits it to Bok, but there's no way it's him. I place my bet on Weird Tales artist Tilburne, who painted the cover to the Avon's "Lurking Fear" I listed over the weekend, right around the same time.   Anthology with Merritt, Moore, Lovecraft etc.

VG/F?  Tough to grade. The pages are uneven but still intact in the binding. The covers are glossy with intact lamination. Back cover is tanned.

 

Your heading into pulp area sir. Of the 18 issues #2 is the killer since it was reused/redone  in PCH comics later.

The Metal Monster by Abraham Merritt  Avon 315  1951.   $50

Very Fine minus. Super glossy, square and tight. Spine has a couple of light stresses that don't break color. Light bindery wear at bottom back. Great colors and complete lamination. Very light wear overall.
