Jayman Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 My first Bethlehem with added mummy goodness: And my first Northford with crunchy evil chinese goodness and opium sprinkles: Nice Peds! That Mummy's pretty buff for being a couple of thousand years old though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 My first Bethlehem with added mummy goodness: I love this issue. Inside, Maneely direw wicked riff on the mummy theme that's funny and horrifying at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterlingcomics Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hey gang! I'm trying to compile a "Top 10" list of pre code horror books that I'd like put on my future want list. I guess I'd like to get recommendations on: [*]Classic covers [*]Goriest stories/art [*]Artist preferences Right now, I've added Tomb of Terror #12, Tomb of Terror #15, Tomb of Terror #16, and Black Cat Mystery #50, and Chamber of Chills #23 and #24. Maybe on Mister Mystery #12. ECs need not apply, as I'm already sold on their content/quality (but not collecting). As you can tell, I'm going for the classic/gore covers right now. Nothing like decomposing rotting flesh in various shades of colors that only a golden age book can bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin_Radd Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Some of my favorites... [*]Dark Mysteries 15 [*]Journey Into Mystery 7 [*]Mister Mystery 1 [*]Out of the Night 5 [*]Out of the Shadows 1 [*]Voodoo 8 [*]Weird Horrors 4 [*]Weird Mysteries 12 And Haunt of Fear 12 and Vault of Horror 26, but those are EC.

comic_lot Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 All good picks Sterling and Norinn (no "maybe" about Mister Mystery 12). I'd add the following: Black Cat Mystery 45 Blue Bolt Weird Tales 115 Mysterious Adventures 13 Web of Evil 5 Witchcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, go through all the titles that start with "Weird" -- some great issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnenock Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Howz about Manhunt 14-- not particularly gory but way cool. However, I'm partial to this one Sterling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterlingcomics Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Thanks guys for the tips...I love the JIM #7...it's hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterlingcomics Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Funny you mention "Weird" didn't CCA forbid the use of Weird in titles and only relaxed them towards the dawn of Bronze? I don't have a gerber. Need one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomb of Terror #12, 15, 16 Journey into Mystery #7 Black Cat Mystery #50 Chamber of Chills #23, #24 Mister Mystery #12 Weird Mysteries #12 Thing #7 Worlds of Fear #9 Dark Mysteries #13 (I gotta see how *spoon* up this is) Underworld Crime #7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Sterling, As far as goriest stories/art is concerned, you can't go wrong with Charlton's "The Thing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterlingcomics Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Sterling, As far as goriest stories/art is concerned, you can't go wrong with Charlton's "The Thing". Recommendation for top 2-3 issues? What is your favorite Cole cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Some of the best books in my mind that aren't on your list already... Thing #7 - insane & horrifying Unknown World #1 - AMAZING Saunders painted cover, and the interiors are mind blowing too Beware #10 - Frazetta's only horror cover Thing #12 - 1st Ditko cover, and a really well colroed one at that Worlds of Fear #9 - Classic Drowning cover - its the purple around the eyes that kills me Worlds of Fear #10 - Eyes, Eyes everywhere! Except in the man's head.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterlingcomics Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Thanks for the tips Matthew! Looking at them now... Oh yeah...I remember Thing #7...adding to the list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 oh *spoon* - how could I forget Dark Mysteries #13, not only a GREAT decap leg cover, but it has ... "the horror of mixed torsos" inside, possibly the most F'd up pre code I ever read! Sterling... you are in trouble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterlingcomics Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Sterling... you are in trouble! Ok...12 books on the list...any others that are "must haves?" I might weed down on the Tomb of Terror and COC issues as I just want a smathering across multiple publishers/titles...an appetizer if you will on the doom and despair that bleeds red in the place we call...The Pre Code Zone.
