Columbia Comics Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 White pages too!! What an awesome book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatcher Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I saw that one today. Any guess as to where it will end up? Whatever number you have in mind, double it. This book's stock has never been higher, and I can't remember the last time I saw a high grade copy come up for sale. This. There are going to be a lot of people vying for this book because they don't know when another HG copy will come up for auction again. The silver lining could be that a huge realized price could bring other copies to the open market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallsview Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I know the Guide is way out of whack (more like outdated), but should this book be worth than Vault of Horror#12 ? Both are important issues, but the CS#22 seems to have a cult following solely for its cover ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are important issues, but the CS#22 seems to have a cult following solely for its cover ? CSS 22 certainly draws its market for its cover. Although the VF+ copy'll do very well in this auction, it shouldn't really hold a candle to Vault Of Horror 12, which is (along with Crypt 17) the biggest grail in the E.C. canon, and is considerably scarcer. However both books are equally scarce in high grade, with CSS 22 having the greater historical notoriety (due to its role in the Senate hearings). An 8.0 copy of VOH 12 sold last year for $3346, and it's quite possible the CSS 22 in 8.5 could go above that. There are so few documented sales on GPA of these books in high grade. A 9.0 Gaines copy of CSS 22 sold for $2358, but that was nine years ago. Lord knows what that copy would go for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vault Of Horror 12 and Crypt Of Terror 17 are considered by all E.C. fans to be the beginning of the New Trend (i.e. the period of E.C. comics that everyone cherishes) when the publisher came into its own. They were to all intents and purposes premier issues, despite certain elements of each title appearing earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were to all intents and purposes premier issues, despite certain elements of each title appearing earlier. They are the #1 issues of each title, and they are the first EC horror titles (they came out the same month, which I believe was March 1950). I believe Vault of Horror was previously War Against Crime, and Crypt of Terror was previously Crime Patrol. Haunt of Fear followed suit with #15 (?) being its #1 issue, but I can't remember what it was before....Saddle Justice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Fashion PB and J Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I need a CS 22. The past year that one seems to linger on my radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddle Justice became Saddle Romances, which then became Weird Science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
