Pat Calhoun Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 'Swamp Monster' has been fave of faves here for 50 years- when I bought my first coverless copy of WM5 for a penny. Congrats ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 This is why I should continue to stay away from the boards. Thanks to Doiby for the book, fast and friendly service and bullet-proof packing. :thumbsup: Enjoy it, Michael! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Knight Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 This is one of my favorite CDNP covers for the subtlety and careful planning of the cover scene. Wow. That's good stuff. Particularly the placement of the dalmation ornament over the bookshelf. That's what you're talking about, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBedrock Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 This is one of my favorite CDNP covers for the subtlety and careful planning of the cover scene. Okay, so Elvis digging a swimming pool in the back yard at night makes sense. And the surrealism of Salvadore Dali doing his best Hugh Hefner impression reflected in the mirror certainly is thought provoking. And Ted already mentioned the Dalmation ornament, an eerie portent of doom. But who in their right mind would carry a lit oil lamp while wearing heels with fuzzy balls on them? Utterly ridiculous.

Socratic Wonder Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Socratic - did you buy that off Ebay? If so, I am sending you a plague...!!!! No, if it was, good for you, I kept debating and I knew it wouldn't last. Yup! It was a little over priced but I have never seen a HG copy, besides the Church, for sale.

october Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 This one had an unfortunate defect develop during shipping, but I am still satisfied. Great Wolverton art on the cover and the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Another "fun" CDNP. The stories in these are all interesting, though they do stretch the truth on the true life crime stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Knight Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 That's a grim looking cover. (Casual toss of the axe into the water) Mehh, probably should get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
