    A very nice copy. There seems to be a bunch of Marvel Illustrateds hit the market in the last few months with a lot of storage wear, bent corners etc. NOT one of those :)

    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)

    470924074_FaustIllobyHarryClarke.jpg.4f250817817d55114b23ba32a7e03bf1.jpg

    And that of course was swiped for Avon's Eerie 10...

    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.

    Conan The Conqueror Robert E. Howard/The Sword of Rhiannon Leigh Brackett     Ace D-36     1953    $80

    The first Conan paperback, 1st Edition of Sword of Rhiannon.  Norman Saunders/Robert Schulz covers  

    VF minus.  Square, tight and glossy, great spine, has super light reader crease, a couple of thumb bends, light edgewear. Inside covers are near white with the usual toning to pages.  A really nice bright copy, much better than usual, I'll probably regret this some day.
