Here is one of my favorite Moreira covers...as close to Silver Age "Good Girl Art" as the CCA allowed. The blue on the cover is just outstanding (better in person than in this scan).

This issue always reminds me of the epic Ray Harryhausen film.: JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS

I know we want to move on to other titles, but I just had to post just a few more HOM'S. These covers deserve to be shown. I'll start to dig for some HOS books over the weekend.

I just received my shipment of books from the Mound City auction out in St.Louis area. 2000 silverage comic collection with 1000 slabbed! Picked some lots of Tales Unexpected, HOM, MGA plus some HG slabbed stuff.

This last one # 109 is the Bethlehem copy.

Wow...2000 books! I sure hope you fire up your scanner and share all those DC Scifi scans in this thread.

 

 

Here is the only book I got from that auction:

Wow Rick, those are wonderful!

 

My favorite from your latest batch of posting has to be the HOM #7. Really spooky cover there!

It's another excellent pre-code book from DC! (thumbs u

I will definitely post some of the Mound City books. Bill, you got the Tale Unexp 54 and I picked up the 53,57,60,68,69 and the 25 book lot, which has some incredible books (condition wise) in it. I wish I had picked up some other lots as they were selling for reasonable prices.

Here are some of my House of Secrets. My number one I bought from the infamous Jay Maybruck many moons ago.

Thanks, John. But most of my DC stuff is only FN/VF to VF. I'm far too much of a tight- to swim in the deep end of the pool. lol

 

Nice books Zzutak!!

Right back at ya, Rick. Very pretty books. (thumbs u (thumbs u
