  1. Finally added to the collection thanks to a great board member!
  2. Well the squeaky wheel gets the oil after all! After starting this thread inquiring about this book, I was offered a copy. @Stevemmg was kind enough to let one of his go, thanks again Steve! It truly is a wonderful book.
  3. Although some values have increased over time, this sums up 99% of my collecting goals.
  4. Are they actually cutting up the OA of these covers? That’s tragic!
  5. I always thought of this cover art as being the Tangible Hatred from the Corben story.
  6. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that The Rolling Stones refused to play “Sympathy for the Devil” in concert for years after that incident as the stabbing happened during that song as they were preforming it.
  7. Yes I agree but I thought it would be a fun task. So I will preface this by saying these are my “current” top five. My choices are based on color, composition and subject matter. 5. Mystery Tales #14 Everett does a fantastic detailed job on this Gypsy woman with her intricate clothing and wrinkled face. The man’s a bit more cartoonish but has that pure expression of fear as the skeletons break loose to attack! 4. Menace #11 Harry Anderson creates a tense and fearful unique perspective with this closeup cover. That guy’s neck or back is clearly snapped as the door is simultaneously being locked. Talk about multitasking! 3. Spellbound #17 Bill Everett again does a stunning rendition of a girl returning? to the grave. The stark blacks and whites make this cover pop. The chorus of skeletons in the background add to the eeriness. Another boardie once mentioned the large size of Everett’s sig on this one, signed large as if he was very proud of it. 2. Spellbound #14 Another Everett and another Spellbound, but this crazy cover is firing on all cylinders! First, the colors are just fantastic. The layout works nicely by drawing your eye in a zig-zag from background to foreground and vice verse. And then there’s Mr. Smiley with the ascot! 1. Venus #19 Maybe no surprise here but this cover hits it all with the ghostly trio, damsel in distress and a mask wearing skeleton! Beautifully composed and a classic!
  8. Just in. Already loved this Enrich cover on the Skywald Psycho cover, but this is cool too with the dress recolored yellow to match the cover.
  9. One of the top 5 classic Atlas PCH covers IMHO. Anyone have a top 5 opinion?
