A headless submission from Superior Comics for you guys. Darth Korgi found this book for me. http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/af336/ronaldbiliusweasley/StrangeMysteries61.jpg' alt='StrangeMysteries61.jpg'>[/img] [/img] [/img]

Thanks. It is. I didn't really like the cover to issue 201, so I put a painting in its place. The origin of that creepy painting is a strange one. One day Darth Korgi challenged myself and two others (including himself) to create an image from the phrase "three balloons" and for some reason this idea popped into my head, so I painted it. Probably because I'd been reading a lot of 70s horror comics at the time (and still am).

135 shouldn't be that expensive. I don't remember paying a lot for my copy. Good luck on that collection!

Those are two awesome covers!

Great stuff!

This is the rarely seen alternate cover to Unexpected 201. [/img] Sadly, I lost my copy of this one. But I remember reading it at a Meijer Thrifty Acres on the rack while waiting for my mother. I found it so creepy I didn't want it. Years later, I remembered it and got a copy.

Thanks for posting all of this stuff, gentlemen! I've never seen or even heard of some of these comics.

Wow great twist ending on this!

Excellent cover! One of my faves too. Really exceptional book to see in hand.

Man is this guy good! Thanks for showing it!

Wow Jayman! Thanks for the info!. Unexpected, Weird Mystery Tales, Witching Hour and Ghosts are my special favorites, but I do like those two Houses! I recently purchased a graphic novel which reprinted all of those Dial H For Heroes books because I was curious about it (I saw it in Who's Who, the DC Directory back in the mid-eighties). I hope I like those stories as much as the later stuff!

Hey, thanks for letting me know!

Great! I 'd love to read these someday. I hear that the Metal Men are pretty cool. Nice book! (thumbs u

Great cover and a great copy! Baker is incredible! Congratulations. Looks nice.

This cover is aces!! But who did it? Nice score.

No problem! I can't get enough of 'em. Keep those comics coming!! I just wish I had more stuff from this era to show you guys, but they are currently a bit outta my price range. I've always liked this Whitney cover, very creepy. Thanks Brad, you are a comic enthusiast, always nice things to say. Happy collecting buddy!

That whole issue was good, but in particular the story associated with that cover.

Thanks to Darth Korgi, I now have a few copies of this comic series which has become one of my favorites from this era.

Awesome cover! This guy is good! There's never a bad Heath war cover - great book (and one I'm after, dammit). You're right! I love all the Heath war covers. I will post a few more soon. I purchased a stack of them from one of your fellow counrtymen last year. in your quest for this book!

Love this cover! This book was totally worth buying, rip or no rip! I've always liked this Whitney cover, very creepy.

Great cover! I've gotta check this book out!

Thanks man! I was a little too young when this one came out to get it off the rack (I didn't start collecting until 1973) But I love these seventies horror books! I just wonder when Unexpected, House of Mystery, and House of Secrets became this cool! I've heard the earlier ones, from the sixties, weren't quite as great, probably due to the comics code. The ban against horror was lifted in 1970, wasn't it? Cardy at his finest, such great atmosphere! I agree! unexpected 127 was one of (if not the first) issues I ever had. I haven't read it in years but I can still see the piper sinking in the quagmire singing "Follow me, follow me...Ha, ha, ha!" Such are the images that get burned into your brain... All great books Brad!

I just recently read this in Haunted Horror. What a twisted story! Great to see the original!

Thanks, guys. Ingles is certainly a favorite for many. Darth Korgi is a huge fan, too, from what he's told me.

Great covers, especially on number 5.
