  4. I don't own them, but . . .

    Amazing Stories, June, 1926 - Creepy #18, Jan., 1968

     

    amazing192606.jpg

    amazingcreepy18.jpg

     

    Interesting. I've seen these both before and assumed it was the same artwork used for the Creepy 18. But seeing them together I can see that the painting was totally redone. I do like the original better with the second serpent head in the lower right!

     

     

    Yeah...But the chick in the second is WAY hotter :baiting::D

     

    But not for much longer after she's been digested into Nessie poo! :hi:

     

    Truth hurts :flamed:

  6. Those Savage Swords, especially the first thirty or forty issues, were awesome!

     

    Yeah. I've been reading through the run and I've noticed as the series gradually declined in quality over time with the effort just not being the same. One of the things I always loved about SSOC was the painted covers. By the end of series, they were using drawn covers, even for the important final issue. As nice as some of the drawn covers were, they just weren't the same from the days of Boris, N. Adams, Norem, and others.

     

    There is something about those final covers though that I still dig. Maybe it's the scarcity of them, but a handful of the last issues had some cool drawn/painted looking covers.

  7. Amazing thread and killer books! Does anybody know if there are specific issues of Eerie Pub mags that are particularly scarce or sought after?

     

    Welllllllll...Generally. 1966-1970 issues are the most difficult with the 1977-1982 Terrors of Dracula, Weird Vampire Tales and Weird books being tough.

     

    Outside of that it's really the covers with the most gruesome stuff going on, or just clinic-ly insane.

     

    I've seen raw issues of Terror Tales Issue #1 & #2 fetch upwards of $350 in VF or so condition. You rarely, rarely, rarely see issues in the 1966-1969 camp in VF/NM or better. The paper on these were cheap and so was the ink, I've seen so much damn ink rub on the back covers on these darn things :pullhair:

     

     

    - b :insane: unty

  8. Fact of the matter any comic magazine from 1966-1975 over VF are tougher to get, any NM or better are fairly scarce.

    Welcome to collecting H :devil: LL

     

  9. Does anyone know what the print runs were on the 2nd prints and 3rd prints of #1-3 (shrug)

     

    I'm surprised after looking on the bay a bit that I see more 1st prints than the 2nd or 3rd printings...

     

    Are the 2nd's and 3rd's still coveted anywhere near the 1st's?

     

     

     

  10. When I was a kid, I was such a Mad freak that my family made fun of me. My uncle was an artist / designer for magazines and such, and one year he sent this artistic creation to me for my birthday. I have blurred out my name (actually, a goofy version of my name) but everything else is exactly as it appeared, though the glossy finish or whatever he used has turned light-brownish over the decades. Some of the text teases might not make sense, because they are part of in-jokes between my uncle and my dad (they were identical twins and practically had their own language).

     

    Anyway, this is proof that I have been a Mad geek ever since an early age. Pretty sad, really. Yeah, I did kinda look like this, complete with bowl-esque haircut, but my tooth wasn't missing.

     

    I should probably send this to Mad magazine -- maybe they'll put it in the letters page!

     

     

    THIS is SO awesome. I enjoyed reading the creativity put into that cover and can imagine that it is quite the cherished gift. Amazing.

  11. Oooooh Weeeee, that is a Stiff $200 for a VF MCSS :o

    I've been on the fence about picking this one up. (And #5.) Prices always seemed a little expensive for this one. I saw quite a few unsold copies sitting around with high BINS.

     

    Do you think it's coming back, or are the speculators jst grabbing everything these days?

     

    I think a lot of things... :blahblah:

     

    1.) Marvel Preview #4 & #7 and Epic #3 are getting more eyes on comic magazines in general now.

     

    2.) In terms of CGC Magazines kind of like Golden Age sales they don't pop up a lot in the Higher Grades. And I think this has slowed interest as people are not willing to be so slow about it. I see this changing though as more material comes online. And I don't see more books getting graded being a detriment but adding liquidity to the space that will boost it in the long run.

     

    3.) As people realize getting HG copies are really as difficult as many of us have been preaching they then become willing to shell for the solid VF or better issues because their searches often take months if not years (or more) for some books.
