They listed it as a "Classic Injury to the Eye" cover. Not as bad as this one, but equally horrifying... This is a really tough book... it took me quite a while to find my low grade copy about twenty years ago. Even when printed small in the CBG auctions of the 90s or in Gerber, it was very striking. It's been a highly-desirable classic cover for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Yep. Even back when @fifties and I got our copies, PCH wasn’t very desirable but this one didn’t turn up much. At that time it wasn’t worth much but everyone who had one hung on to it. Iconic book. Even now, with what it’s worth, I still wouldn’t part with it. I would rather sell off other stuff if I wanted money. I know it might be quite a while before I found another and would never be able to rationalize the cost of replacement. I’m sure most folks with copies feel the same way about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I would never part with mine, even with it being in very low grade. It's a must have classic cover PCH book. One of the first that really grabbed my attention.

I wish Marvel would reprint all of these stories inked by Fox. Or if I could find a bunch of dirty, coverless copies that I could make into a bound volume!
