Picked up some Pre-Code Horror, this one stood out

[Secret Son]

I bought about 40 pre-code horror books a little while back and I finally have the time to scan them.

 

This one is in rough shape but from what I can tell it's a pricey book in high grade. Does it have a strong place in pre-code horror history?

 

I'll post the rest if there is any interest.

Love those covers mostly the DM 19 hot girl on the water wheel.

[Secret Son]

Yeah, ya gotta love the cover.

 

I have more that I will post tomorrow.

[Secret Son]

Half hour to game time, so why not post some more.

Nice low grade selection. As you may have guessed by now the Dark Mysteries #19 is probably the most in demand of the group.

[Secret Son]

I'm finding that out.

 

Yeah, they were sitting in the guys attic for years as you can tell. There were a few EC books too in the same condition.

interesting, I wasn't aware DM 19 was high demand. Can someone fill me in as to why (any reason other than the cover)?

Primarily for the cover, but the interiors of the DM run - after about issue #10 - are classic precode horror. The 19 is one of the better covers of the run. This series is particularly gruesome.

Look at all this cover has going for it:

 

1. Basically a nude girl in a transparent getup

2. She's being slowly drowned in some kind of fluid being piped in on the sides...

3. By a pretty creepy ghoul.

4. The two recently-drowned girls to the left.

5. No "hero" coming to the rescue. She's pretty much doomed.

6. A first (only) issue of title.

 

One of my favorite pre-code horror covers.

[Secret Son]

Great cover for all those reasons.
