bye-migration Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Wow super happy to have this book. Ive been after a COT for awhile and I wanted either a 17 or 18 but they are so pricey even in shabby condition. For whatever reason this book was sitting on ebay with a few hours left with zero bids (holiday week?). I got it for 375.00 (only bidder) and Im really happy with the condition. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crawdad Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) Here's an interior page to HT #5 Wow, one of the wildest pre-code splash pages... it inspired a few comic artists in recent years, such as Jim Osborne, who updated it for the 1981 "100% White Girl" VKTMS 7" pic sleeve... which got a bit of backlash from some of the punks who pressured Osborne to do a turnabout version, putting the female in the power position, on a subsequent VKTMS flyer (anybody got a sharp copy?). Nice to see the Haunted Thrills #5 cover large. Thanks! Edited July 9, 2006 by crawdad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crawdad Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Ghastly, add Farrell to the list of publishers that can get away with using pink. They had a bunch of covers in various shades of pink and purple. They even used hot pink for the cover of an issue of Strange Fantasy! Note the next to last issue of Haunt of Fear (#27). Weird Fantasy #20 (the banner color). Hey, in the '50s, pink was a rock and roll color, when loud colors were used a lot (but not all at once like they were in the late '60s!)

johnenock Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 One of two sci-fi covers in the series. Right? My two personal favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paratrooper Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I purchased Vooda #22 awhile back and was wondering if Vooda is scarcer than the Voodoo series, because for the life of me I can't seem to find any other issues of Vooda to complete a run.

october Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Here are two you don't see very often and both feature painted covers by George Meyerriecks. The art on number five is particularly unusual; the main image has a look that's almost like a Renaissance painting. I was shocked to get them both for under half guide. St. John really had a history of pushing the envelope stylistically...at least in terms of their covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

october Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Man, those are some awesome covers. Thanks. I was just blown away when I first saw the number 5. Meyerriecks did another painted Strange Terrors cover as well, for the second issue. I intend to find that one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*paull* Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Voodas are a bit tougher than Voodoo to find. However, keep in mind that they may not be filed under "pre-code horror" at shows. I've seen them in misc GA boxes and GGA boxes. You're right though, they are tougher than Voodoo, although there are some tough Voodoo issues.

Forbush-Man Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Picked up at the SD Con yesterday. features a story narrated by the old witch. I'm curious how you hard-core horror collector's feel about this possibly being the first horror series, as noted by Overstreet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
