I also like the stylized artwork that appeared on the covers of the last two Ghost Stories that were published.

 

(Oct/Nov 1931)

 

(January 1932)

I prefer the earlier ones, but like them all. Very strong design aspect on the last few. I wish I could afford to collect them, but as pricey as they this will likely be my only example for awhile.

How about a ghost with teeth.

 

Ghost Stories V1#1 (July 1926)

 

I have always loved this cover... the ghost posed like Uncle Sam, with the super-weird head.

 

Great copy too, BZ!

WHOOOOO!!

 

Good ol' Matt Fox --- what a bizarre imagination.

The skin texture on the woman (I guess) monster is incredible.

 

It's my favorite of the bunch. I'm trying to figure out why you like the Ghost Stories better. There must be a subtlety that I'm missing.

I love Matt Fox art. Heavy Basil Wolverton influence.

I have always been a huge Matt Fox Fan, but the Ghost stories is just so cool. It's a large 8.5"x11" pulp, very very hard to find, and the interior illustrations are fabulous doctored "Ghost" photos. It's very different from anything I have seen.

Awesome Matt Fox! Man, I wish he did more comics in the 50s. He inked some stuff for Atlas, but I wish he was drew full stories for a horror title.

[shiverbones]

Some of the pulps have some fox art inside too, and none are very expensive.

 

I got a few more in today... coming right up.

Great stuff, Matt!

 

I came soooo close to buying this one. Looks a lot better in your scan than in the auction! Nice!

 

I've been looking for just the right Dime Mysterys/Dime Detectives to take the plunge. Too many cool covers...

[shiverbones]

thanks! I took a chance & sent a best offer $20 below his price, which he took. As soon as I got the Norm Saunders book I knew I had to have this one, so I went for it.

 

Dime Mystery has become maybe my favorite title. So many great images

Note to self, stipulate in will, skull must be cleaned and bleached and rubbed against skantly clad hot chick for eternity.
