That was an absolute STEAL. What an incredible Don Newton page. Should have gone for $750+ in my opinion. Its a once in a lifetime piece. Just incredible!

 

OK - just noticed - $276? Is that right?

 

Yep! The discussion was in one of your own threads.

 

What Comprises DC and Charlton BA Horror?

Yep! The discussion was in one of your own threads

 

I remember now. I fear I was in the heat of compiling the various Charlton and DC titles etc and it just passed me by. Regardless, a really nice piece of art and a bargain price, IMO.

Here are some other interesting BA horror pieces I've found...

What I want to know is, how is he going to get out of that room without trashing his collectibles on the floor?

I'm curious: where are those Grell drawings from? I'd guess an EC fanzine of the 1970s, but I have the Squa Tronts and don't recall anything by Grell in those. Also, I don't recall him being a fan artist before he broke in to the pros... so what gives?

I'm afraid it's nothing so interesting....

This cover really tickles me - text and circumstances both!

I stumbled into my local comic store..."Heroes Aren't Hard to Find" for more bags 'n boards. I talked to the shop employee (not the owner), and finally dug down into some of the books they had there. I picked up Dead of Night #5 for $10, which I graded at NM-. It was a very refreshing experience---you know--being able to put the book into your hands, examine the book first hand. Very nice experience. I also saw a NM- copy of Chambers of Darkness #2 (love that Romita Sr cover)--but couldn't bring myself to pay $35 for the copy.

 

For those fed up with the eBay experience, pay a visit to your local comic store. I plan on going back for more deals, and save myself the "mystery" factor in the received merchandise from questionable grading from sellers.

 

BTW, I asked about any HOM or HOS....the guy goes out to the back of the store and comes back with some very well read HOM issues. Shiverbones---I did see the first I Vampire issue but it was about a 5.5. Not one Ghosts, Unexpected, or Witching Hour. I did see quite a few Silver Age Challengers from the Unknown. Might pick up some copies there soon.

I tend to agree with the BA stuff! For the precode horror, well, not as tight for the grades I want. But for BA look forward to another trip this coming month!

My son is scanning my returned CGC books; hopefully more scans later this week

 

For those wondering, my mom has benefited greatly from my first wave of auctions. I have about another ten grand to go and I believe I can stop the bleeding (ie my selling). And it's a good thing, I'm getting down to the bone.

 

I'll also be selling my Golden Age horror/sci fi for 2 for $20 starting price--a good two boxes...and then on to my Weird War Tales...

Woot!!!!!!!!!

I had a great LCS in NJ and 2 years ago bought a near run of Weird war from 70-124 in NM for $1.25 a piece! same with weird western. They have a 50% off sale now and then, and they were all tagged $2.50. Sadly my LCS in LA are no where near as good...

 

Still need a ghosts #65 & Weird War #6, an Unexpected or 2 as well

 

Still don't have a HOM290 above FVF

 

thanks for thinking of me though!

Here's a book I just picked up recently after around 30 years of searching

This is a book that my sister and I had read when we were kids and it scared the cr@p out of us. We used to buy comics when we were visiting our grandparents out in the country and ended up reading this one night.

 

The lead story involves several people who conjure up the devil. He appears outside and kills one of the group when they go outside. The others take comfort in the fact that they know three things about the devil: He can’t come in unless they open the door for him, he will leave the earth at dawn and he only has one eye. With that in mind they just have to stay in the house until dawn and not let anyone (or anything) in the door. Well…as we all know, things never go that smoothly. I swear, I STILL think about this story now and again.

Great story! I love hearing stories like that. The last page is so very subtly chilling I now have to get a copy! The look on that woman's face is priceless.
