    And it's over.  Those who are interested can see the numbers above.
    I've just noted the Top 10 as I don't think this method gives the best insight into positions 11 - 20. 
    There were ties for second, sixth and ninth.

    I always thought this was a pretty cool issue, but for some reason it falls into the "not essential" category for me. Maybe it's the yellow background (which Warren allegedly disliked for his covers) or the fact that the previous issue was such a standout---it just seems that this issue was kind of a letdown. 
    Thankfully, it was only temporary...

    I never would have thought this was an Enrich cover. 
    @OtherEric, thanks for stepping in for this round. Let’s all hope our Elf is ok!

    Since we haven't tracked down @Axe Elf yet, I'm going to post the index info for this weeks book, and then my thoughts, so if it's a temporary absence he can come back and find we're still going here.  If we still haven't found out anything near the end of the week we can discuss in more detail how to proceed.

    Cover:  It's one of those covers I don't particularly like, but the fault is all me, not the cover.  It's a valid and effective design for a horror comic, very well done.
    Monster Gallery:  Atoms.  The subject of the Monster Gallery is "Atoms".  Moving on...
    Bad Moon on the Rise:  We haven't seen Tom Sutton in a bit, it seems, but that's partly the Annuals making it seem longer.  Amazing art, as usual, and Doug Monech turns in a very good story, once he gets the Creedence Clearwater Revival nods out of his system, but there's a lot of them the first couple pages.
    The Silence and the Sleep:  Jose Rubio only has three credits for Warren that I can see, and not that many total at the GCD.  Their style works well for the hallucinatory pages in the middle but doesn't land quite as well at the beginning and the end.  But it's the right choice for the more important part, so I'll put this in the win column.
    Prototype:  Very nice art by Bruce Jones, shooting from pencils works well for underwater scenes.  The story doesn't quite hold together for me, though.
    Look What They've Done:  The Warren Debut of Esteban Maroto.  I'm getting 267 name matches in the index, so clearly one of the major Warren creators, who will be with us all the way to Vampirella 112.  He's also known for having designed Red Sonja's famous chainmail bikini.  The story is beautifully drawn and wonderfully meta; although it seems like it was likely written for a color, code-approved comic and only wound up at Warren after it didn't sell elsewhere.
    Crocodile:  This seems to be Jose Mascaro's only work for Warren, and indeed his only work for US comics.  The story is a decent filler but nothing more.
    The Trap:  Greg Potter has around 15 Warren stories; overall he has a lot less comic credits that I expected, given that I knew him as the creator of Jemm, Son of Saturn and the co-writer of the early George Perez Wonder Woman issues.  The story is a clever little four pager that promises good things.
    Oh, Brother:  And the issue goes out on a high note with a science fiction story by Dave Cockrum.  It's a clever twist on Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder" that is better suited to Cockrum's clean style than his story in Creepy last week.
    This was an excellent issue; with a good mix of material that hit a very high average of quality, even if there weren't any real standout classics in the mix, and a couple of noteworthy creator debuts (along with a couple of less noteworthy ones.)

    FYI I am not holding back any Navy Action. Most of that short run was grabbed before I got to them. I’m not the only person getting a shot at these from the family friend, but you could count us on one hand.
    I saw a pic of the Astonishing #30, which changed hands privately around time of the auction of the Bethlehem copy. It was at least breathing down the Bethlehem’s neck.

    @JollyComics I have not tried submitting any. I am aware from the family friend who sold them to me that cgc is aware of the books as the family discussed submission, but they ultimately decided not to make a big splash at an auction and instead prefer to get them raw into collectors’ hands.
