"Notorious" GA Covers

[Iksar]

 

From the great Russ Heath. Uber-nasty.

I think this one speaks for itself.

 

 

Cool. Kind of reminds me of the original "Clash of the Titans" vulture scene, though I don't recall any nudity in the movie This one definitely qualifies as a "Notorious" cover, and is one I can't say I've seen before.

Here's a couple that are pretty disturbing:

 

 

 

[Paratrooper]

Back from CGC today, as a matter of fact. They are out of their freaking minds thinking this is a 5.5.. it's going up for sale on ebay later, but not sure how to price it.

Always thought this was underrated in the PCH pantheon, but is somewhat notorious, as much for the stories as the cover.

 

[goldust40]

And # 2 isn't bad either....

 

[goldust40]

Graphic, disturbing and surreal.

 

[goldust40]

Always felt that this one was slightly overlooked in terms of notoriety. Can't imagine what parents in the early 1950s thought when their kids brought this one home...

 

[goldust40]

Up there with CSS 22 in its portrayal of feral psychosis, in my opinion. Frightening cover.

 

 

 

 

[Point Five]

Yep, +1 on these. Disturbing... and great!... covers.

My kind of thread - I have owned or currently own 2/3rds of the covers shown or mentioned so far - out of the maybe 400 GA/Atom books I've ever owned at all. Can't figure out if that means I have great taste or am entirely predictable.

How about

 

War fury 1 and Horrific 3 as a pair?

 

Already had Horrific 3, so here's the War Fury 1...

 

[goldust40]

Couple more classics that may have been overlooked. This was what I call my "gateway" book regarding my PCH addiction. I first saw an image of it in CBM, and it blew me away.

 

[goldust40]

And two more E.C.s that deserve notoriety...

 

 

[BB-Gun]

How about

 

War fury 1 and Horrific 3 as a pair?

 

Already had Horrific 3, so here's the War Fury 1...

 

 

War Fury is also a flame thrower cover.

[Iksar]

 

Notorious in a good way.

[Badger]

 

Notorious in a good way.

I would imagine moms everywhere tossed this book out the first chance.
