Wrightson fan Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Was ecstatic to finally get a high grade copy of this book recently. An awesome, grisly title. I like that issue as well. Wish I owned one. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Another is the Weird Mysteries #2. When I got my first copy (from Ted Van Liew) about 20 years ago I was aghast, as I'd been a GA and SA collector for years but had never seen it. the #2 is a classic cover that doesn't seem to get the props it deserves these days. Even VG-F is really tough to find for the #2 I love WM #2. One of my favorites without a doubt. Here is my copy, which was graded a 7.5 OW. The back is as clean as the front...and those scuffs midway along the spine are on the case. I meant to call for notes, but never got around to it. If all 7.5's looked like this, I would never look for a higher grade. I honestly cannot see which defects are holding it back....so it must be something on the interior. Gorgeous! A gallery of Bailey's best couldn't be bettered when it comes to pre-cod horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey's best IMO..and I think Wolverton's Robot Woman story is his very best as well Overall this is one of the strongest single horror books out there! Wish I still had my copy.

One of the nicest copies of that book I've seen...I've never managed to get one better than 5.0. A friend once owned the White Mountain, and yours might be a tad nicer if I recall correctly. Nice book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmyst Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Here's my WM 3. IMHO, this book does not get the respect it deserves as a classic cover. I'm quite proud of this copy as it has astonishing gloss and high grade! So I'll show it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even VG-F is really tough to find for the #2 I love WM #2. One of my favorites without a doubt. I also love WM #2. All-time great Baily cover. The thing that seals the deal for me is the coloring. I just love the green and purple used for this cover. For my money, Weird Mysteries had the best Pre-Code title logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WM #1 and #2 are available in mid to high grade, but a nice #3 seems to be a lot harder to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red rocks-migration Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Picked up the Wings GGA lot on heritage sunday auction... armost all the covers in one lot! probably paid too much, but there is a 94 in there, and it was almost all the classic covers. I hope the reds are deep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
