Infinite Bronze Horror Thread 16 16

[Zonker]

Orlando was hit or miss with my tastes...this one misses IMHO...

 

 

Label says Infantino and Orlando cover. That too-angular girl certainly looks like an Infantino design. Maybe CI pencils and Orlando inks?

 

1981 was certainly past the prime for those two comics greats.

Here's a cool Gold Key issue, Grimm's Ghost Stories #60, that I also posted in the Infinite Last Issues Thread. Sterling, that HOM will fit in great there too!

I've been recommended to try a series of horror books from the Bronze Age. What would you guys recommend? I might be allowed to go to the comic book store in a few weeks. I'll probably end up picking up a few different titles and was wondering where should I start with these, since there so affordable? Issue #1's? Cool covers? Give me some suggestions please.

You can find something that interests you there.

Thanks for the info on the billiard-ball cover, guys.

 

Now if I can just find that GK mystery digest where the guy is cutting into the painting to reveal a skull underneath...

 

Ask and ye shall receive! It's Mystery Comics Digest # 16.

 

 

Merry Christmas!

 

BTW: Love your Rondo avatar!

Hey Heinlein, here is the original to that GK, its Ripley's #23. I am still trying to dig up the original the Worm story appears in but haven't had time.

Scott, I know your funds are "budgeted", so may I suggest "Welcome Back to the House of Mystery?" It is a good primer for DC BA horror, as it reprinted some of the best tales from HoM. It was printed in the 90's, so you won't have to shell out too much for it, and might even be able to find it at your LCS.

 

Also, I know you love EC, so I'd like to suggest a couple titles from the "Copper Age": "Twisted Tales" and "Tales of Terror." Still very affordable. These are some of the best quality books in "recent" memory, and are very reminescent of EC in that they pushed the horror envelope.

Great advice! I'd also add Bronze Mags such as Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella (Warren) and Skywald Mags: Nightmare, Psycho and Scream.

 

There are a number of Modern Age Horror books out there too, (why not make it an all ages thing?). Titles such as:

 

Toe Tags - DC

The Lurkers - IDW Publishing

30 Days of Night - IDW Publishing

Remains - IDW Publishing

Silent Hill - IDW Publishing

 

All good reads and I am aware of the "limited" budget statement, but these are just suggestions to try if you come across them. Aw who am I kidding, make some more money and buy them all!

 

BTW: Welcome to the Boards!

[Rip]

Yea that 288 is a toughy. Still don't have one of those

[Norrin_Radd]

Love this cover, it's got "The Shining" feel to it. So simple, but conveys much. Somebody's toast!

 

I've liked that Kaluta cover since I saw the cover art up for sale last year.

 

[sterlingcomics]

I've been meaning to check out Silent Hill--the video game is very scary. Has anyone here checked out Silent Hill and can compare the atmosphere against the game--or is it more of a licensing ploy?

Wow, it's been a year today since I've joined the forum. In some ways the year has flown by, and in some ways dragged on and on. Undeniably, the friends and connections I have made here has been the best part of this community. Hopefully, I've been able to share my passion for this genre as I ramped up my collecting efforts since my childhood. I've learned much, cried, shouted, and laughed. This board is the best...

Happy Aniversary, Sterling!

Happy Anniversary Sterling!

My Anniversary will be on Tax day and like you, I really enjoy these boards. Thanks for all the insight into submitting books to CGC and posting the final grades. And although we have not had any transactions this year I hope to next year ( any raw Bronze DC Horror rejects from CGC) if Shiver doesn't snap them up first!

 

RE: Silent Hill - Pretty good story with dark, moody, atmospheric artwork. I'm just the opposite though, I like the book but never played the video game so I cannot say how they compare.

[Norrin_Radd]

Happy Aniversary, Sterling!

 

Happy Anniversary, Sterling. Rock on.

[BassGMan]

Happy A-Day Sterl. I just passed mine three days ago. YOU, along with Shiver were the main guys responsible for making Bronze horror my collecting and dealing focus. Together you guys pulled me out of my ASM and X-Men daze and showed me the darkness of this genre. For that I am cursed. -----Sid

[Red Hook]

Happy Anniversary Sterling! Congrats!

 

BTW....your avatar scares the bejeezus outta' me! Did I do that one for you?

[Forbush-Man]

Happy Aniversary, Sterling!

 

Happy Anniversary, Sterling. Rock on.

 

 

When did I ever claim I could spell?!?
