Here it is! The complete Fawcett Captain Marvel Adventures #22-#46, 25 issues, all CGC graded, that featured the first and longest serialized story arc in comic book history-“The Monster Society Of Evil” that ran from 1943-1945.
Of special note almost one fifth of the run are pedigree books. #24 is a Crowley Copy, #33 is a Promise Collection, #34 is a Davis Crippen (“D” Copy), and the #38 is a Rockford. Also of interest, #40 is a double cover and #27 and #44 are from the Harlan Ellison collection.
"The Monster Society of Evil" was published in 25 chapters in Fawcett Comics' Captain Marvel Adventures comic book. Its serialized format was inspired by the success of the live-action serial adaptation of the Captain Marvel strip, Adventures of Captain Marvel, by Republic Pictures in 1941. Chapter One of "The Monster Society of Evil" in Captain Marvel Adventures #22 (1943) depicted Captain Marvel learning that a criminal genius known only as "Mister Mind" - and only heard as a voice over a radio receiver - had gathered many of Marvel's other rogues - including Captain Nazi, Doctor Sivana, Ibac, Nippo, Mister Banjo, and more - to form "The Monster Society of Evil". After a brief appearance in issue #26, the mastermind Mister Mind is eventually revealed in Captain Marvel Adventures #27 to be a cartoonish alien worm with spectacles and a talkbox around his neck to amplify his voice.
"The Monster Society of Evil" serial concluded with Captain Marvel Adventures #46 (1945), in which Mind is finally captured, tried, and executed.
As the first and longest serialized story arc in comic book history, "The Monster Society of Evil" was hailed as a milestone of the Golden Age of Comics.

Have them!

Sorry, but that's a different title.
No different than Crypt Of Terror is a different title from Tales From The Crypt.
Crime Patrol #15,#16 origin and first and second appearance of the Crypt Keeper. They even have Crypt Of Terror on the cover!! Crypt Of Terror #17-#19. Tales From The Crypt #20-#46. They all are consecutive numbers!
They are part of the story! Denying them isn’t an option!

Well, not to break up the happy gathering, but if you really want to get into “The Group”, you’ll need these two books to complete it.

I’ve never heard of the “Pacole Collection”. Is this a new one?
Also this was used as an illustration in Seduction of the Innocent as noted on my humble Al Williamson copy above. I wasn’t aware that it was also used in Parade of Pleasure. I might be wrong and it could be used in both. Overstreet lists it as SOTI but not POP.
You might be sending this in for another reholder.
I think you got your WS #19 confused with my WS #17. They both have purple covers.

I just received my Weird Science #17 from the Pacole Collection back from CGC today in an updated holder. When I sent it in, I made a request that they add Used in “Parade Of Pleasure “ on the label and supplied them with several pieces of back-up information. I am happy to share that CGC granted my request.
I found this issue to be very difficult to find in nice condition.
There is a 7.0 coming up at auction from Heritage in August from the Roger Hill Collection. Unfortunately, it won’t have the Used in “Parade Of Pleasure” on the label as it was graded previously to my request.

Do you know what grade his was? I see this one in auction #7374 which, I think is the auction of his items based up on this link. Unlike other lots, though, the Tales of Terror Annual #1 lot doesn't say "From the Roger Hill Collection" in the description, so you probably won't get it if you just search for "Roger Hill". So I don't know if that's really from his collection or not.
That’s definitely not his. CGC now lists the contents of the EC annuals on the label and based on the CGC number on that label, that was slabbed years ago.

I cannot amend or add to the "Set Description" texts for my current sets.
I have read through the thread, and cannot see any else mention the same issue...
I have that same problem!

Did Torpedo make the effort themselves to bring in CGC? I don’t think so!🙁The last time CGC was there was when the Torpedo Con was in Hollywood.

Complete all 6 original gray Marvel figures.

Anyone ever seen these? They were offered in Marvel Comics in 1966-67. I still need the Hang Loose button as there were 5 of them.

I absolutely love your books! So so hard fighting temptation. You wouldn't happen to have a mystery 178 by chance?
I believe I do but it hasn’t been graded yet.
