Spectre

+1 on the Spectre. The GA one. Could you only imagine what the special effects would be like?  

Mysterious Adventures #17

Ain't love grand? Why this one doesn't get more love I don't understand.

I'm going with Barks' Trick or Treat.

I was going to go with that one too.

Anyone have a favourite Halloween story in comics? I turn to the late, great EC comics for mine.

For me this is Jack Kamen’s best drawn piece. He captured the tone perfectly. 

A chilly little 8 page treat....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the best shock endings in my opinion. So cruel....

 

 

Oh, "Carrion Death" by Feldstein (the cover story) is in that issue. My uncle gave me some of his ECs when I was a kid. Scared the out of me in the last panel!

Unless I'm blind, it makes me sick that some one "cleaned" off the pedigree markings.

Man, I was really hoping I would not hear of this. Really strikes home to all of us collectors. Fires, floods and hurricanes are the enemies of the stuff we cherish so much. I just consider myself a caretaker for future generations. At the end of the day, it is just stuff.

Your two babies are what really matters. What a beautiful photo. Your family is what matters. Glad you are safe and well. You will make it through this. When you are settled, let us know what you collected. We will be more than happy to help you out!

Mysterious Adventures #16

More skeleton revenge...

Lucked into these yesterday at the flea market from my $5. pulp guy. The second one is a swipe from an earlier Jungle comic book I believe.

Yes.

+1 Lots of great Crime books. Many short runs of quality stuff and usually cheap. There are lots of cool teenage/GGA short runs that are VERY challenging to put together. Used to be cheap but gaining steam.

Mysterious Adventures #15

The classic "Bowling Bill Skull" cover! Always a crowd pleaser. Hummmm, maybe a "bowling" subset is in order later...

Hey Bob, enjoyed seeing your run of Mysterious Adventures keep'em coming, here's my 14 I go from Ray Storch many years ago.

Thanks Hap! What a beautiful copy. I have always loved going through Ray's boxes. He has always had a great eye for the cool stuff.

Just got a very special book , the Mexican edition of World´  s of Fear 10 , printed here on Mexico 1953. I would say this is the equivalent of a Gerber 10 , never seen another copy before , never knew about its existence until i saw this from a Venezuelan seller at ebay one month ago

 

Wow, that is so cool. One of my favorite pch books!

Mysterious Adventures #13

What a perfect book for Friday the 13th. This is the one that changed this title from a book about vampires, werewolves and simple grave robbing to something that was a lot more gory and grim. And what a cover. A huge burning skull. The best covers and the most gory stories start here.

Mysterious Adventures #12

I just love green covers! Just about the only word missing on this is "weird"

Paging Ricksneatstuff!

Great "old school" collection. I'm pretty sure you will find a lot of gems in there.

Are those old Captain America sentinels of liberty pins towards the bottom right corner!?

No, they are probably the plastic ones given out at comic cons.

Nope. I got about 3/4ths of the ones I know about at the time. I found the most of the ones I still needed were ones I wouldn't have wanted any way if they weren't SOTI books. 

At the time, I was working with a gentleman named Bob Nastasi and Redbeard to identify as many as we could and submitted to Bob Overstreet.

Just lost interest.

Thanks for the great report Mike. After reading it I kind of think it wouldn't be my kind of con. This and SDCC are young man's games. I hate the crowds, extra expense and inflated pricing. Most of this show would be wasted on me. Baltimore seems like the next one I need to travel to.

Just got mine...you just can't have too many classic Porky western covers...

Got a similar grade copy with a few others at the flea market last weekend. I don't buy many Dell funny animals these days. But my favorites are the ones from around this time period 1947. Can't wait to read it.

Great stuff!  I have to admit that I've never read an issue of Planet Comics. 

Could be time to buy the reprint books. 

That's hard to believe Tony. With a collection like yours, I'm surprised you have never picked one up. Cool books with great art as a rule. Stories are usually just OK but the covers and art rock. I wouldn't say I "collect" them but always pick up ones I don't have when the price is right.  (Not that that happens very often anymore). I probably have half of them.
