Some Joker(Wombat) got me hooked on these.🤨🤟 Randall Dowling and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OtherEric Posted November 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2021 Two books today. The Creepy #16, while still not high grade, is a significant upgrade from my previous beat up reader. Very happy to have it. More interesting is the Monster World #1, the Mummy story predates Creepy #1 as the first Warren horror comic story, with great Wally Wood art to boot. I think this is an underrated book, even if it is fairly common. Warren retroactively declaring Monster World 1-10 to be Famous Monsters 70-79 means people don't always realize this came out between Famous Monsters 30 and 31.

Been working on trying to have everything Warren myself. Great pickups Creepy 16 is a tough bird to find in NM, with the typical black cover. The other cool Monster title is Monster Mania. Frazetta has an awesome cover in issue number 2. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great shape, but the Steranko sig is neat, albeit a strange choice, and it was only $40 It's not totally nonsensical, since the book reprints "At the Stroke of Midnight". And I would love to have a Steranko sig in my collection. But I can think of at least 50 books I would rather have the sig on than that one. (Admittedly, 27 of those are the Shadow paperbacks he did the covers for, so not just comics...) Still, a nice pick-up. That book is getting tricky in any grade these days.
