    That's an impossible ask.  

    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!IMG_3178.jpeg.f2c3bd8de9babd0f486be15f4ce66e5b.jpeg

    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!IMG_3177.jpeg.7a390c93d9365554659c889798598f97.jpeg

    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.IMG_3182.jpeg.78349610d505dadb63a903ca467b0a74.jpeg

    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!IMG_3181.jpeg.5231f778a35de2b1303bb5956e7ce694.jpeg

    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!IMG_3186.jpeg.60ce045e0809ba1b6b7f4c5adb0a1474.jpeg

    Actually, Garcia-Lopez!

    That's the one piece in my convention sketchbook I've had multiple people offer me cash if I'll remove the page and sell it to them.

    Oops! Saw the “ez” at the end and immediately thought Dominguez sketch. Thanks for the clear up! (thumbsu

    Now for the stuff I did win.

    I have the 100 box Forgotten Prisoner but not a 98 and this one was nice

    Down to just the lightning Frankenstein but my Dracula and Phantom are not sealed.  I tried for the Dracula in this auction but finally had to tap out but the Forgotten Prisoner was bargain priced

    Gigantic Frankenstein is opened but unassembled, box is decent

    Finally a nice Addams Family house sealed

    Several Prehistoric Scenes but the ultimate one I wanted, T-Rex.  I thought it would cost me a lot more!  Two more kits to complete the set

    I remember having this one. Huge and red plastic with glow-in-the-dark teeth?

    Also regarding the Forgotten Prisoner, what is the 100 box vs the 98?
