Wrightson fan Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Thanks Buck, Angelo, Jay, and Adam S. I think it looks nicer than a 7.0 also. With the old labels receiving the so-called "harsher page quality designation", this might get a nice page quality bump if re-subbed. It looks like the upper right quadrant has a crease the runs down to the right edge, but it is not there. Just general wear and tear on the rest of the book. It honestly think it might grade higher if sent back in. It looks sweet in any grade holder, so what would be the point? Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShadowKnows Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 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. Damn, how did I miss that one? Beautiful copy Angelo I have never seen this book before.Is it super rare?
