Hello,
Don't know if this is appropriate for this forum or not, but thought I'd give it a try.
I have just gotten back into horror comics after a couple of decades and have been reading through my collection. I am interested in pre-code stuff and I get a lot of pre-code reprints (Tales Too Terrible to Tell, Seduction of the Innocent, IW/Super, AC Comics etc.), but the publishers often don't identify the source of their material. I identified 90% of them, but there are a few I haven't been able to identify and wondered if any of you you knew the source. I can provide plot summaries if needed. I checked GCD, of course, but their pre-code indexing (other than E.C., ACG, Harvey, DC and a few others) seems scant.
Anyway, here are some I couldn't ID:
From Crypt of Horror by AC Comics:
The Black Crows - from the splash panel it seems to obviously be an Atlas story, but it isn't listed on the Atlas Tales web page, which I thought was comprehensive).
The House That Death Built
Doom at the Wheel (this one was also done by Eerie pubs)
The Third Ghost
Scram No More My Lady (another Eerie one)
The Grim Unreality
Your Coffin is Waiting Sir (antoher Eerie one)
Monsters of the Mind
A few that were reprinted in Skywald
Ballast of Gold (Heap #1)
When the Sea Goes Dry (ditto)
Danse Macabre (Nightmare #1)
The Creature Within (ditto)
I didn't have as much luck trying to identify non-ACG stuff from Stanley Publications - probably got about half of them. I think that Stanley did almost all, if not all, Gillmor (Merit, Key Publications, Stanmor etc) and ACG reprints but maybe some of their stories were unpublished leftovers. In some cases, however, they seem to have changed the titles (i.e. changing Hunger to You Look Good Enough to Eat).
Eventually, I'd like to index the Stanley and Eerie Pubs stuff for GCD (along with the remaining Charlton bronze age stuff and the few pre-code ones I have that aren't indexed) since they are so poorly indexed right now.
Here are the Stanley Pubs ones I didn't find (sorry for the length):
Ghostly Revenge
Howl of the Hunter
The Devil on Your TV Dial
The Man Who Tried to Live Forever
True Zombies of History
The Night People
The Curse of the Pirate's Gold
Te HAtchet Man
The Curse of the Zamboori
Shadow in the Mist
The Sleep of Death
Death Was the Only Witness
The Black Cat From Hell
The Devil Walks on Halloween
The Lost Secret of the Ancient Garden
The Wizard Who Wiped Out Time
His Final Choice
The Disguise
Thanks for any help you can provide
