Fantastic looking copy, but that cover sends chills down my spine...  

 I knew that book would bother you.  Sorry, pal.

Unbelievable!!! More gloss than my bald head!!

I found most of those from a dealer many years ago.  I actually got a little nervous just touching a few to scan them they're so nice.  

Eerie 134, NM+ 9.6, Canadian Price Variant, Just a fresh, new looking copy with exceptional gloss and colors. Only 3 U.S. copies on the census with the highest being a 9.6. No Canadian Price Variants on the census. $320

Eerie 132, VF/NM 9.0, Canadian Price Variant, Very tough black cover on one of the scarce end of run issues. Great colors and gloss. Only 4 U.S. copies on the census. No Canadian Price Variants on the census. $140

Eerie 131, NM 9.4, All Wally Wood issue with excellent gloss, colors, and page quality. $35  Sold to dover

Eerie 127, NM+ 9.6 (maybe better), Canadian Price Variant, Glossy and fresh like the day it was printed. Those that collect Warrens know the drop in print runs for the last issues in each of the titles. Only 2 U.S. copies on the census with the highest being a 9.2. No Canadian Price Variants on the census. $320

Eerie 122, NM+ 9.6 (maybe better), Canadian Price Variant, a stunning book with incredible colors and similarly nearly perfect. Only 3 U.S. copies on the census with the highest being a 9.4. No Canadian Price Variants on the census. $280

Eerie 121, NM+ 9.2, Canadian Price Variant, A beautiful copy of this classic Basil Gogos cover. Would grade 9.6 except for what I believe is a printing flaw on the back cover, not a rubbing (tough to know how to grade it).  Only 5 U.S. copies on the census with the highest being a 9.6. No Canadian Price Variants on the census.  $120

Eerie 115, NM+ 9.6 (maybe better), Pretty tough to find a better copy than this. Looks brand new as if it was just printed and you picked the best copy out of a stack of fresh copies. $120  Sold to bounty coder

Just a heads up.  A few of the next books are not only end of run issues of Eerie but also Canadian Price Variants and exceptionally high grades.

Eerie 114, NM 9.2-9.4, A great looking copy of this book with a sweet Sanjulian cover. Glossy and fresh. $60  Sold to dover

Eerie 113, NM 9.2-9.4, Nice fresh looking copy of this Jim Laurier cover. Glossy with excellent colors. $50

Savage Tales 2, VF+ 8.0-8.5, Great early Conan book with nice colors and gloss. Very solid book with only minor issues. $70

Nightmare 20, FN 6.0, One of the most sought after magazines due to the John Byrne interior art. Very difficult book in any grade at this point. $70  Sold to JRBaxter

Psycho 15, NM- 9.0-9.2, Great book with nice structure and good gloss. Tough white cover makes this issue very difficult in high grade. Only 4 copies have been certified to date. $110  Sold to Rip

10 minute warning.

Yes. One version has 2 Corben stories as you listed above. The other version has 3 with the third being “The Woodlik Inheritance!”. Which version Randall?

2 stories, as I said.  Thought that was clear but my apologies for the confusion.

I'll start listing around 8:30 Central US time tonight with a 10 minute warning before I start.  Thanks for looking, everyone!

The Grand Comics Database has a very powerful query engine where you can derive this sort of data. 

Frazetta Warren Query

Holy sweet Mary Mother of baby Jesus!  A RedRaven sighting!  You've been missed, sir!  Hope your dogs are doing well!  

I always enjoy your threads, Robert!  Lots of great material at very reasonable prices and a blast to look through!

I am pretty inexperienced in the crime magazine genre - I picked up a few of these because I loved the cover artwork (especially this one), but eventually migrated back into Pre-code crime and horror.

They're like catnip for me.  Lots of covers by some of the best illustrators of the period.  All of the Annuals and Yearbooks are tough in any grade.
