johnenock Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think Wrightsonfan beat me out of a nice copy a couple of months ago. Love those hypo covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 The Pre-CODE horror comics published by STANDARD, I feel, are very under-rated. Adventures into Darkness, The UNSEEN, WHO is NEXT ?, Out of the Shadows... Copies that you see are almost never above VG. I suppose the fact that many were printed with lots of black on the cover didn't help. I had a nice copy of Adventures into Darkness no. 6 and parted with it thinking I could replace it one day. That was at least five years ago and I've never seen another decent copy. I'm quoting myself here. Anyhow, I mentioned how tough some of the STANDARD published pre-code is and a week later someone posted a HIGH GRADE copy on ebay. That issue of WHO IS NEXT ? sold for a very respectable $461.00. Easily the sharpest copy of this one-shot I've seen. $460 for that book seems pretty reasonable. Great cover and VERY tough to find in any shape, let alone high grade.

I paid about 260 for my 3.5-4.0 copy...and was happy to finally find it last month. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkg2627 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I bought this copy of Who Is Next? # 5 for a pittance. Look for it in my Forum BIN thread in the coming weeks. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 You know the pre-code market is weak when you can get a book this cool for under guide in a Heritage Sig Auction. Freshly deslabbed 5.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I'd better get on the ball and post something I guess! My second favorite cover after BC #50, love the "corpses rising from the grave" themes and the colors on this book are dynamite! Another Northford copy...
