893applaud-thumb.gif They're jpegs... so if you want, you can save it and enlarge it, no? Then you can truly appreciate their utter sweetness! Unless that doesn't work and I've been duped by that damned Bill Gates AGAIN... Stupid computers. KHAOS SMASH!

Holy [!@#%^&^] those are some mighty fine books Khaos. They are getting better as you post them.

UV - that almost made it! i love it to death too! I may expand it to 50 covers anyway, and then there is certainly room for that one. We'll see!

Morning everyone. I was worried because the bidding was at less than half of my goal...everything fell together at the last minute. Several books I intended NOT to reach reserve, but alas, they did. The Witching Hour #3 and #14 comes to mind. Only 16 books out of 170 did not sell, pretty good in my opinion.

 

To my surprise, no one hit the reserve on my SOHH #1 and #5 (Wrightson)

 

My thanks to everyone who bid and took part! This will definitely help both my mom and myself and relieves a bunch of stress. Now, the invoicing, packing, and shipping begins....

 

In about a month, I'll bring out the "REAL" mystery books (DC that is). I have about 120 books coming back from CGC that will hit the streets in about 6 weeks as well.

Having just finished perusing Shiver's site (great work) I just thought that I would relate a piece of trivia that I was told by a dealer I buy off. For those who don't know, I collect cover art and my favourite art is the DC Horror from the Adler collection. A month ago I bought the approval cover to HOM #174 and was very surprised when I received the following from the dealer....

 

"House Of Mystery #174 Approval Cover SIGNED IN SILVER BY NEAL ADAMS. This 1968 issue is the momentous moment that kicked off the horror revival for

DC, opening the door for House Of Secrets to start back up, and in the new

horror format, the following year, with issue #81, and leading to horror in

Unexpected, and eventually Witching Hour, Beware, Sinister House, and all

the others! Mr. Adams related how he and Infantino worked together, at the

same time, developing this cover, and it had all listeners in awe. (In

addition: The classic image was later modified & re-colored and used for the

front cover of DC Limited Collector's Edition #C-23, a huge horror treasury

edition.) This landmark cover has long been credited just to Infantino, as

such it is way undervalued, at least until it becomes more recognized for

also being Adams! "

 

What do you guys think?

Hey Sterling,

 

I managed to get 3 away from Chris Bell (AST).

 

But alas I paid the price. Tell Mom I said HI!

 

and last but not least... Keep your head up bud... It can only get better.

No doubt House of Mystery 174 paved the way for the resurgence of mystery books. I do however have no informaiton surrounding the Infantino/Adams collaboration on the 174 cover...any information from the collective would be very interesting...

Pete,

Thanks so much for your early bids and participation. I got your payment this evening and will be in the mail tomorrow thumbsup2.gif I'll send it 2nd day so you should get it by week's end. Treat my babies well!

 

...And thanks for the good thoughts. It does feel sick for me to sell these but it will be for a good reason/cause.

This has been discussed before, and the conclusion was no Adams. However, it looks suspiciously like Adams to me. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
