That's it for this thread, thanks for looking!

WITCHES TALES #8 5.0. OW/W $750 Sweet copy of an increasingly popular book.

MYSTIC #2 5.5 OW/W. $425 Great colors on this weird hallucinogenic dungeon cover.

ADVENTURES INTO WEIRD WORLDS #9 6.0. OW/W. $550 Beautiful Heath blind date cover.

TIP TOP COMICS #218 9.2 OW FILE COPY $260 Fun hi-grade Nancy, K Kids and Peanuts cover.

JOURNEY INTO FEAR #16 4.5 OW Stone Cold Classic PCH Cover. $750 More like Journey Into Pleasure with this perfectly centered smooth colorful copy, only 21 on census.

DARK MYSTERIES #5 4.5 OW/W $850 Lots going on across this insane cover- red sky, green ocean, one pirate that is a full skeleton, another with pretty healthy-looking flesh… but with a skull instead of a head, a beautiful, horrified woman in a rather nice headlight pose… and a freaking octopus watching from the railing! Nice flat copy with great color and pretty darn nice centering too!

MYSTIC #6 7.0 C/OW. $575 Solid book! Contains the ultra-classic Wolverton “Eye Of Doom” story.

HAUNTED THRILLS #1. 4.5 OW/W Official “Skull Cover”, lol. $700 Good looking copy of the first issue of this infamous PCH title. Where did that little skull come from???

WAR REPORT #3 4.5 OW BATTLE CRY #4 4.5 W $450 Two great books that look great together! Love war covers featuring one or two troops dealing with the horror of war on an intimate basis- as opposed to big battle scenes. Both books have great color, no pieces missing, nice PQ, and, of courses, perfect centering, lol, and GRENADES!

MARVEL TALES #123 5.5 OW/W White Mountain Copy $950 Scarce scary and somewhat obscure Harry Anderson cover- perfectly centered, smooth, rich colors, and no missing pieces. Solid copies of this issue don’t grow on trees, my higher-grade copy doesn’t look this good!

I've listed some very cool raw pch jungle and early golden age stuff on Ebay- giving you all a chance to grab a great deal on some obscure stuff. None of the books have been pressed, and I typically my lower grade books are well centered, colorful, no missing pieces ,etc., making them good looking for the grade. I'm on the boards a few times each day, so I'm happy to answer any questions. Thanks for looking! Frank https://www.ebay.com/sh/lst/active

Bumping this and closing tonight- thanks for looking.

Got it, thanks John.

CGC Blue Bolt Weird 117 $750 Nice colors and centering on this cool Cole book. Obvious defect is a full-width fold across bottom right corner, but color loss is very light, with several smaller bends on corners. Small staple tears and a ¼” split bottom spine. Back cover has a few edge tears, a small stain and a very small 1/8-ish piece missing at top end of spine. Features Disbrow’s masterpiece “The Thing in the Pit” and another crude whack jungle tale “The Devil Plant and the Weird Man”. Great title!

Shocking Mystery 55 $500 Bloody red front cover of this Cole classic boasts solid, rich primary colors, dark blacks, nice gloss, and excellent centering. Front cover shows overall general wear along edges, surface, and spine consistent with grade, but nothing significant. 1” tear on right edge of back cover, otherwise very flat and exceptionally clean. Very nice OW/W PQ is the cherry on top on this solid, tough book.

LB Cole Animals Attack! Two Book Lot $80 4Most Vol8 #3 That’s one expertly drawn pissed off mega scary tiger! Cover is mostly smooth and glossy but has a ½” tear through spine, a ½” split at bottom, normal wear along edges and a spine roll that can be pressed out if you’re so inclined. 4Most Vol7 #6 Beautiful FC is smooth flat glossy with rich yummy colors and near perfectly centered. General wear tear around edges, corners and spine, but nothing major. ½” tear through most of pages at bottom edge, looks from the printer/distributor and not a defect.

CGC Shocking Mystery Cases 56 $300 Cole lands a total knockout punch with his signature “man smashing though glass” cover. Solid lower mid-grade copy. Once again, this flat, smooth book displays rich deep colors and respectable whites, although both covers host light soiling, some foxing, and small stain and abrasion spots. Most noticeable is the “abrasion dent” on the guy’s jacket near his left color which affects the back cover near “Also”. Entire spine has even, light wear, some reading creases but cover is tightly attached. Edges are quite nice, as is PQ.

Spook 29 $200 Underrated cover in my opinion, this book is solid low grade, except for ½” square chip barely attached on right edge of front cover, and a smaller chip hanging a few inches below, so be berry berry cawful when de-bagging. ¾” lower spine split. Interior covers tanned, especially across top, see pic. Love the dude’s green fingernails. Contains 3 by Disbrow including “The Thing From Beyond” and “Solo For Death”.

Horrors Of War 11 $300 These never come up. Solid low grade book with even wear, excellent colors, plenty of gloss and deep blacks. Most significant issue is book length fold starting a bottom left corner ending at a scuff/bend between the last O and R of HORROR. Fold doesn’t appear to break color on front except at scuff, so would likely press out. Back cover also has 4” fold across top left corner and a touch of chew bottom left. Interior covers are tan, especially across the top, see picture, but seems supple and safe to read, and you’ll want to because this issue includes Disbrow’s war classic “Spirit of War” featuring a very a gnarly ghoul ghost who reveals himself to actually be a very Disbrow-style Hitler! Stone Cold Freaking Classic.

Shocking Mystery Cases 59 $250 Not too many of these around, in fact only 9 total listed on the census. Covers are flat smooth and glossy, but have light, even oxidization. Small piece missing from top right corner, small chip right edge. Spine is nice for the grade, with ¾” split top. Back cover has ½” near top left corner. Otherwise, a tight book.
