Blind Owl Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 a couple books in today, and hopefully I'll scan a couple more later tonight. Woo-Hoo!

adamstrange Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 And a personal favorite of mine, since I first saw it in an overstreet when I was in 6th grade or so. I have had a couple copies over the years, but this one has the most intense color I have seen on one. Those are very bright colors for that issue! You've been on tear lately. First those uber-cool DC 10 centers and now classic LB Coles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 well I have to admit, a big part of my recent tear has been a painting trade I did, I would never have been able to buy so many comics in one month otherwise! more Cole...

shiverbones Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) And another classic. Basil Wolverton's INSANE story Robot Woman lives inside. The book looks to be in great shape, but is very fragile, and the spine is half split. Edited December 13, 2007 by shiverbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 And another classic. Basil Wolverton's INSANE story Robot Woman lives inside. The book looks to be in great shape, but is very fragile, an the spine is half split. WOOOOFF! Nice cover, especially with that marvelous date December 1952 displayed so prominently. Too delicate to scan Robot Woman after all that build-up? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 yeah it really is too delicate. I wish I could scan it, it is so over the top! A hunchback mad scientist makes a robot girlfriend, she is burned in a fire and tries to "be with him" all melty faced & horrific. He ends up getting acid spilled in his face, it's a mess... I like the date displayed & Bailey's obvious signature. This is the 2nd copy of this book I had, and both had really fragile spines. Must have been cheap paper.

Jayman Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I didn't, but should have spotted this right off the bat. Great job, Jayman! (thumbs u I like all of the books you bought. Thanks Adam! I always wanted to see the fully transformed vampire since Everett had such an interesting take on his version of a vampire. Cloven hooves and horns looks more like a devil bat. Interesting that Ditko drew a similar creature on the cover of The Thing #14 dated June 1954 also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Shiver, Great books! Those Coles are sweet and I said this when October posted his copy of Weird Mysteries that I never noticed the faces above the title before as the central art always captured my attention, but they are just as creepy!

shiverbones Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Thanks! I have always really liked those faces at the top, they are some of the creepiest on the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 He certainly has a demented bend to his art that suits it wonderfully! I want to reinforce that everyone should see his work in HOM97, just beautiful stuff. Sometimes he is a bit rushed & grotesque, but that Moon monster story is an absolute delight.
