    Mask #1 $102,000

    Wood's cover to Shock #6 -- $840,000. I presume the highest price by far ever paid for an EC original? I remember when Al Feldstein was agog when one of Wood's WS covers sold for $50,000. That was around 2005 I think.

    An early attempt at Captain America's Weird Tales?

    Amazing! I never knew that "Foul Play" was ripped off by another publisher.

    The leg/foot on the right looks very weird.

    Heh heh ... Everett's hooded skeletons from Venus 19 have found a new victim!

    Is that Cthulhu?

    Would it be accurate to say that Mask 1 is the first horror cover in comics? It's more surrealistic than horror, but the candle does say "evil" on it...

    Funny to see a "July 1948" date stamp on this, since the indicia dates it to '47.

    Off-topic, but does anybody know when or why all the Phantom Lady Fox covers were attributed to Baker? The earliest Overstreet I have is #9 (1979), which says, "Matt Baker covers/stories in all" for the Fox series. Do earlier Overstreets have this attribution?

    This looks more like 1952-era Baker. Perhaps the first sequence was drawn in 1947, unsuccessfully pitched to a syndicate, then dredged up again in '52? Then new strips were needed? The lettering is also totally different from the earlier sequence (which had the "1947" style...)
  15. Sarg
    Kind of hard to believe these strips were drawn in 1952. They sure look like Matt's 1946-47 style. But they were syndicated in '52.

    The Sid Check art in this book looks a lot like Wood. Check is the poor man's Wallace Wood I guess. Most of the interior art for Avon titles is second rate. But their covers are excellent.

    Surely this cover is by Kinstler? Why does JVJ credit Fawcette, and CGC credit no one?

    "EC Comics, Summer 1942." Is this the oldest book to carry the "EC Comics" imprimatur?

    LOL at the "Bob Kane" signature -- I wonder why that returned for this cover?

    "White pages"

    Lovecraft's stories tended to not have loads of naked women in them like this cover illustration. Lovecraft in fact considered this kind of thing embarrassing.
  23. Sarg
    Good gracious, are you sure that isn't a Girasol reprint? Surely an original could not look like that.
  24. Sarg
    More evidence that Crime SuspenStories #22 was simply thought of as just another gory EC cover by '70s collectors. #19 was worth more.

    Such brilliant use of zip-a-tone.
