pastandpresentcomics Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 and another damaged in shipping. Bent and dented corner and chips broken off. Sent to me in an envelope with one piece of cardboard and nothing else. Cardboard had been bent in half. Ugh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShadowKnows Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 OK Jay, here it is... There are very few PCH books that I have wanted for over 15 years, but never owned. Weird Mysteries #4, 5, Weird Tales of the Future #2, 3, Mister Mystery #12, Weird Chills #2, and this one. I am so happy to finally have found the right copy at the right price of this tough book. I finally got a chance to spend some time reading this, and I have to say this contains the scariest pre code horror story I have ever seen! If you thought the Hanged man Story I posted before from SSFAW#2 was bad, you have to see "Man With the Broken Neck!" in this one. Holy cripes! Sid Check drew it and it is unrepentantly brutal. A man is wrongly sentenced to death & he vows he won't die, and he'll get the real perpetrators. The tone is beyond description, just terrifying! the panel where he finds the first bad guy & snaps his neck with a phone cord is just messed up. I wish I could scan this, but my copy is so fragile. I may try anyway... Holy cripes.... I bought my copy of this from a guy in cbg.Its like a good minus.25 shipped.He had so much cool pre-code.Passed on the Venus 17 good 35. Anyway nice pick-up Shiver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

october Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Recent Heritage win. Love this cover, though not as epic as the ones by Frazetta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Recent Heritage win. Love this cover, though not as epic as the ones by Frazetta. I don't know the storyline for the Frankenstein tale but I think that people who like horror comics should consider Ghost Rider. Certainly the Tales of the Ghost Rider series should be considered horror. And some of the stories had horror icons such as Zombies (not actors in suits), Witches and the Frankenstein monster. The lead character was trained by a ghost and always had contact with the "other side". Scaring the bad guys was often a part of the early stories. Kind of like Batman but he used his gun pretty often too. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Awesome Stuff everyone! Andy, that Ghost Rider is a knock out! The Jumbo is incredibly sweet as well, I have never had ANY Fiction House horror. The JIF #18 is an all time favorite cover of mine, Skeletal voyeurism! Woot!~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Got a few in this past week. Some to follow beautiful copy! Love the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 three books came in while I was away this week. 1st - Probably The Hardest Harvey horror to find. GREAT cover, and made more mysterious because it was left out of the gerber guides because of a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 next is one of my favorite horror comics. From the EC swipe Cover, to the SOTI Illo'd story to the MESSED UP "Thing from Beyond" by Myron Fass. This book never seems to go cheap so I guess others enjoy it as well.

shiverbones Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Lastly, my copy of JIF#12 arrived. I did have time to read "Evil Intruder" and agree it is unlike any other PCH story I have read. Fantastic, sadistic, horrifying, hilarious and full of the most wonderful dialogue. Woot! I Still Like "Revenge can be fatal" just as much though...

Jayman Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I wound up returning my copy of JiF #12 due to a large spine split! Didn't want to cause any more damage to the book so I didn't open to read. Mind posting the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
