Larryw7 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Great books Doiby! Love that bizzare cover to Lawbreaker's Suspense Stories. I have a slabbed copy myself, what are the interiors like? Anything that relates to the cover? Thanks! I haven't opened it yet, I'll take a look at it tomorrow. I've always liked that cover too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Cheetah, Those Gaines File Copies are beautiful. That Haunt Of Fear is my favorite Ingels cover. You've got great PreCode taste. Doiby, Looks like a nice stack of horrific reading! Nice choices. I just read Mysterious Adventures 15 recently. It was wonderfully morbid. You're in for a treat there. -Christian I've never read 15, but I have read 17 before, and a couple of the stories are really gross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Pym Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Some nice ECs from yesterday's auction. I really wanted that HOF 17. Great pickups! I'm pretty sure I was bridesmaid on the HOF #17 auction. A great book to have! Another group of nice pick-ups Cheetah (thumbs u ... although I wish your interests would stay with VOH and Crypt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Just got these in the mail from Dale: This is the interior splash of the story that relates to the cover. Story is about a jealous husband that locks his beautiful wife into a closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vistor Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Some nice ECs from yesterday's auction. Awesome books! The HOF17 and VOH39 are a couple of my favorite covers and the other two are right up there also. Hoping that one day I can add even one book of that caliber to my collection....

(thumbs u And when I say "us" I mean "me"! Turns out in the last panel that the girl picked the lock on the closet door and put a rotting looking dummy in her place. this caused her husband to have a heart attack. Like most non EC pre-code horror, the story had lousy characterizations and made little sense. But it was so funky that it was fun to read.

Man, the quality of the EC art was so far beyond their competitors'. (Hope I'm not stepping on any toes.) I think Star Publications were of equal quality if not better. The STAR covers were better indeed due to L.B. Cole but the insides were a mash up of reprints of crime,mystery, jungle. horror. Some good stuff in there but not as well crafted or organized as the EC stuff. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 and Yah, the Blue Bolt had reprint material and so did this one but the covers were Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 The Star covers are awesome but the interiors never did much for me. But most are worth getting just for the covers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 And if you are looking for this story in Terrors of the Jungle, you will be disappointed but you can find it in Spook 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 But EC had Feldstein and great writers and that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
