Wonder when they decided to add that? Does it matter Jay? You know more than any of the graders at CGC about what criteria should be applied to conclude whether a precode horror comic book cover is a “classic cover.” There are so many classic covers that don’t have the designation on a CGC label. Let’s remember that we send books to CGC to get a third party perspective on the a book’s grade. Nothing more. A consensus of collectors will decide what book has a classic cover.

Popular Post bronze johnny Posted July 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2021 Here’s one from my collection that’s an all-time classic cover by the “Ghastly One,” which doesn’t have “classic cover” on the CGC label.

I am a huge fan of the low grade, great presenting PCH books. I finally just got this one back in my PC which is low grade but presents much better than my higher grade copy that I sold a while ago. Couldn't be happier. Thanks Bob. Awesome book, congrats. Spoiler You know where I am, if and when you want to offload it. X_Phile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn’t matter to me at all, just wondering when CGC finally noticed enough to add this to their labels. I seem to notice these additions more random lately.

The most out there of Ghastly's covers. A classic in any pre-code fan's book, regardless of what CGC does or does not designate.

As an added bonus that the seller apparently wasn't aware of, there's an SOTI panel in the first story! Does your copy also have a Phantom Lady issue? The western comic seems incomplete in some Almanacs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first story, "Cattle Kate", actually starts on it's first page, printed on the inside FC, just like the regular comic issue, and is preceded by a second story, so that = 17 pages total. Then 32 pages each of JoJo, Western Thrillers, Phantom Lady, & Famous Crimes. 145 story pages including the inside FC. Since Fox counted both sides of each cover, that then = the 148 pages they state on the FC. If they hadn't basically cut the first western in half, the total would have been 164. That sectioning would have required extra labor time, so there must have been some reason they chopped it. Maybe the staple leg length, as they barely make it through the last page (mine doesn't have the BC). BB-Gun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Craig Collins Posted July 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) My best find yet! This part of a stack that walked into Hot Comics in Minneapolis. I was fortunate enough to be first in to look at it. I bought what I could afford and the rest went quickly afterwards! There are still Golden Age books out there in the wild.

Back cover is easy to scan but not sure if I can get a good scan of the inside. One issue has Zoot and the other Rulah (b copy). There is also a Famous Crimes (b copy) instead of Jo Jo. Therefore the content varies a little. Edited July 21, 2021 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
