Almost every copy of this issue has faded reds on the left. This is a really pretty one. Congrats! Jayman, Point Five and AndyFish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started collecting PCH, I was gravitated to this title because many were 52 pages. I believe the only Atlas horror title to have the additional pages. Always seemed like a good deal for the money. Jayman, Raze and AndyFish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor K Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I've been going back through this thread page by page trying to get together a complete list of all Horror and Sci-Fi titles that existed from around 1939 up until 1955. I just keep finding more and more titles and books that I really didn't know were out there. Kind of amazing how many there were in such a short period of time, especially in the early 50's. And interesting to see how they just kept pushing the limits up until they couldn't. Thanks to all who've posted. thehumantorch, mysterio and Raze 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tales to Terrible to Tell" is a 13 issue comic book series covering all of the publishers and titles of PCH. Highly recommended. They used to be available for cover price but not sure that's the case now. http://www.comiccollectorlive.com/title/a09ad516-0892-4c76-a947-60f81a852a32/Tales-Too-Terrible-to-Tell Raze and Professor K 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an avid, long term PCH collector, If you delve into pre 1950 and all the various genres of crime, western. Sci Fi and even humor and other genres, the list is rather mind boggling.

Not even Sci Fi titles, only horror. And I know there are a more I haven't found yet.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted November 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2022 These books need to be filed. Question is, Horror boxes or Crime boxes? Occurred to me, when was the last time I ever saw any of these for sale? Raze, Mr. Lady Luck, Treco and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
