Raze Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I found this beat up Feature Comics at a local show and thought it had a cool cover. A friend said that Dollman stories were pretty good reads. Has anyone read this issue? bronze johnny, Black Bat and Galen130 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post southern cross Posted June 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2022 A couple of precodes I've bought over the last couple of months, I get distracted with bronze books. Looking forward to the conventions coming up to pick up some precode romance books. They are still very cheap as long as no Baker art and strangely violent inside some. badback83, Grottu, Larryw7 and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The art in those Feature books is exceptionally nice! Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dr. Balls Posted June 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2022 Just unpacked this one yesterday. I love the starkness of the text box against the black and the looming female figure to the right, without actually seeing her face. The skeleton enforcers are also quite cool.

Popular Post here2havefun Posted June 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2022 I'm new to comic books, coming from the world of sports cards. I discovered pre-code horror late last year, and have been dipping my toe in this year. These are my first "big" purchases, from the latest PBA auction. Very excited to add these. adamstrange, Inaflash, Jayman and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's slabbed and you can't read it; the female figure is actually misleading. They're going to put him in an Iron Maiden. Jayman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, Bailey, and Morales covers are an incredible way to start your collection. Look at the delicate lines that defines Morales’ art on the cover of Thing 7. That’s a classic injury to eye motif cover and Morales is one of those great artists who isn’t spoken about much. The cover to Thing 7 is one example of why Morales was one of the greats. As for Bailey, this classic injury to eye motif cover is disturbing to say the least. Look at the hooks and one can’t imagine how horrible the pain must be for guy and how his face is in a “picture frame like” setting while all this is going on. Look at the hairdo on each of the little creatures! Bailey was having fun with this one. Gives one the chills! Heck with the artist who drew the others! here2havefun and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been on a 7-year hiatus from comics and recently got back into it focusing on pre-code horror. The art, the stories and the thrill of finding books is awesome in this genre. Have fun! here2havefun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A seller listing a raw one with no grade or flaws disclosed just turned up on Ebay for $10k - you know, if you feel like gambling. Of course, feeding sharks by sticking your head underwater with a fish in your mouth might be a better gamble. EDIT: As of 12 hours later, the listing has disappeared.

Yeah, I'm usually pretty tight with my coin, but these are upgrades that I've wanted for some time, + the Mr. Mystery and Fantastic Fears. No trades, just cash to the tune of about $5,800. So I'll be on Cat food for the rest of the year. Dr. Balls, Kevin.J and Larryw7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
