Hello,

Is there any of us Bronze age horror guys left?????? Did we lose interest/momentum with the down turn in value? On the bright side, I can buy my beloved DC Horror books for a song.

 

Bronze horror was just a victim of the circular hotness in comics. A previously dormant sector or genre suddenly catches fire, prices rise with new interest from collectors who go "wow" when they see the covers (usually here on the Boards) and the race is on. Only to cool off as they are no longer "cheap and cool" but have become "fairly expensive and cool, but not cool enough to go after them all at these prices!.

 

Id say be happy that the wave happened at all, because these books deserved their year in the sun... and will rise again.

I just became interested in these in the past 6 months. Mostly HOM, but I will buy any DCs that I like. That being said, some of the prices are pretty crazy. But what a great offering of some great covers from some of comics greatest artists!

Yep. It amazes me how uncollected these were for so many years.

Really?!? I haven't been keeping track...awesome. Unfortunately, CGC's grading has been lax as of late, and I will be judging the book and not the label if it does come up for sale.

Several books I'm tired of chasing...

 

WH #4...HOM #175 #190 and #205...still need one....this is frickin nuts.

 

Remind me, are you looking for 9.4 and above?

 

Technically yes, although it seems that 9.6 or higher seems to be the norm.

Sterling you're still looking for a WH 4 9.4 ? Sadly I sold my copy way too cheap a year or so ago. If I knew you were still looking for one Id have wrote you first.

 

Very, very nice looking Phantom Stranger 10 CGC 9.6 up right now in one of Jerry Weist's auctions, if I didnt already have a nice copy Id probably blow the bank out for it as it is one of Adams' best horror covers.

Jerry Weist's auctions get really crazy prices most of the time, I still remember a couple years back when he had a bunch of Adams Bats books up and the prices were all 2-3x GPA for the good stuff.

 

Here's hoping a board member gets the PS 10 though, toughie in high grade and crazy good cover !

You mean the HoM 179, Oakland copy? True, the label says it's from the Dallas Stephens/MH collection...and that's a travesty! doh!

 

Alas, it suffers from the common, misangled miswrap...not too many perfectly centered copies out there, but there are a few. :shy:
