TheWatcher Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Let me get this straight (looking at the back cover), you were supposed to "take off ugly fat" with a Tesla coil? That's just the plug! A Tesla coil to lose weight, that's absurd! You plug it in, apply to your belly and vibrate the fat away! And I guess if you get bored you could "massage" other body parts, too. Gotta love the 50's (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*paull* Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Wow, super deal for $58. Star Publications Coles can be had pretty reasonably these days, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 always been an absolute favorite cover of mine, but never had the chance to own one. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 One of the top Atlas covers IMO! What a great book! (and I love those green covers too...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Who needs a caption? The eyes alone tell you everything you need to know. Great stuff. Not sure those eyes could be any wider! That's a wonderful cover but I'd love to hear what you think of the stories, AtlasT!

Jayman Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'd be interested also. Is there a story entitled "Zombie!"? And does it predate the Zombie! story in Menace #5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 That is a really solid issue of the title story-wise. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 This just in: One of my favorite Atlas horror covers as well. Absurd that OS arbitrarily drops the price after issue 4, when this cover is so much cooler. At least it makes the book more affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatcher Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 This just in: Everett did some really wonderful precode covers. Very underrated in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_comics Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 FANTASTIC Bill Everett!!! Maybe the BEST cover artist of the fifties. Or for that matter...ever!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 FANTASTIC Bill Everett!!! Maybe the BEST cover artist of the fifties. Or for that matter...ever!! Certainly one of the best. I have a hard time giving THE best title to any one artist, though Everett is second to no one when it comes to pre-code horror covers. Atlas seemed to shy away from overt gore, so his covers aren't the most gruesome (always a plus with PCH), but they are beautifully rendered and eeriely moody. I can't think of another artist who could draw a close up of a frightened man fleeing from hooded figures with such effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
