fifties Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I forgot about issue 18; I'd say 3 good stories, vs 4 in 12. Here's my favorite splash from it. Raze, Point Five and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Great stuff! I have MA #12 and #18, but still need a #20. Sold a nice copy years ago and never managed to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I got my first issue on my honeymoon (MANY moons ago) in a little shop in San Francisco. I even include the two post code issues in my run just because there are only two and I probably lucked into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I like like these two end of the run issues a lot. I rarely see them anymore. Mr. Lady Luck, PopKulture, Jayman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prolly watered down because of the approaching code. Edited January 3, 2022 by fifties Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeleton electric chair cover. This issue is just packed with gore. Every story has sick panels. And to top it off, it has this story. A direct steal of “It ain’t the meat, It’s the Humanity” from Haunt of Fear. As close to an EC as they come. I have to agree. MA is probably the gold standard with PCH story wise in my book. Whilst I love PCH to the core , let's face it, a lot of the books fall way short in terms of stories and we end up loving them for the covers alone. MA delivers on the stories and interior art as well as in this case, the cover. Just great books with no respect for the sensibilities of kids of the time. Hard core PCH.

Actually, Mysterious Adventures and Dark Mysteries are sisters, like TFTC, Vault, and Haunt are with EC, and Fight Against Crime like Crime SS. Story did deliver the gore, with a number of EC swipes.

Well gee thanks, but I was talking to Bob specifically. I'm sure people are aware of the basics, but thanks so much for the condescension.
