I just tripled my non-EC pre-code collection. Thanks dear tax return! Can anyone advise:

 

i) Are these any good?

ii) Payette's grading?

 

 

i) they are usually good, sometimes great - look out for issues with Everett and Heath art

 

ii)Jim's grading is usually sound, especially in the low to midgrades - maybe less sure by current standards on the very high grades - say, VF and above.

Adv Into Weird Worlds 23 is a good all-around issue with a fun cover and interior. I don't know any details about the others.

The judge getting judged theme is a nice sub-genre within pre-code. And those last Mys Adv are super-gorey. (thumbs u

Now that's a silly question. They are most definitely not good, they are fantastically terrific! :sumo:

 

I love the Atlas horror books! That Mystic #26 is a classic decap cover! :headbang: And how could you go wrong with a book that bosts "Bertha gets Buried!"? :applause:

This in yesterday is, by my count, my 250th Atlas War issue. Is this now lunacy?

 

Battlefield # 4 - And it's quite a nice representation of why I like Atlas War books. A striking cover in my mind.

That looks like a Harry Anderson cover based on a Burgos layout. Heath told me that he was required on more than one occasion to draw an Atlas cover based on a sketch from Burgos. I did not get the sense that he was pleased about that in the same way that he enjoyed working over Harvey Kurtzman's layouts.

250? Lunacy? It sounds like a good start. Now hurry up and get the rest.

I don't expect to get these in my paws anytime soon, since they are going to the States, then Canada, then here in the UK lol A winding road!
