Sorry for the lousy pic, I'm a better collector than a photographer. The most gruesome cover in one of the best non-EC precode horror runs says a great deal. We need to remember that a blue label without the“Classic Cover” notation does not in any way define cover of the book inside the slab. It takes a consensus of true collectors and those who appreciate this art form to decide whether a cover is a classic. The flip side to this is who doesn’t think the cover to Thing 7 is a classic?

L'Angelo Misterioso Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 On 4/1/2023 at 2:53 PM, manetteska said: The most recent and the most random purchase. I think I was riding high on my own supply. May need help determining value and how high I was. Definitely a valuable issue, and it seems like USA Comics across the board don't come up often. It's a Timely series, so I'd imagine there's strong demand for these. This reminded me of when I was going through my dad's comic book collection for the first time. I had no idea what I would find, and all I knew is that he used to be a serious collector. I eventually found a pile of Golden Age books, this USA #1 being at the top of the stack. I was stunned...until I opened all of them to find that each of them were reprints from the 1970s.

Yep! Graphic “Injury to the Eye” cover. I’m real partial to #15 (giant worm) cover as well. I discovered this title way back when I was still wet behind the ears. Super gruesome contents. Since it wasn’t an EC, prices were dirt cheap. Didn’t take me long or much money to complete. #16 is a real good one as well content wise. Was very plentiful for a while due to a warehouse find. I have probably seen more high grade copies rather than low grade ones. Raze, Larryw7, bronze johnny and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's a beauty copy! I'm probably in the minority around here, but it's my fave of the 3. Well done says me. Well if you didn’t like my other two very much you won’t like this recent purchase.
