Jayman Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Finally picked up a decent copy of this. Looks like a crime comic, and in fact does contain three crime stories. But it also contains one of my favorite pre-code horror stories, which is also one of my favorite Jay Disbrow stories, a Lovecraftian little tale called "Ultimate Destiny!" Great story thanks for sharing, never saw that one before! Seems a bit more "Dorian Gray" to me but I do see the Lovecraft elements.

Sarfa Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 OK say you had $100-$150 max, what pre-code horror book (if this is even possible) would you get? There are a few copies of Out of the Night #1 on eBay within that price range that I'm considering. I'm not overly worried about it being high grade. But I would like the cover in as good of condition as possible for that price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft-Serve Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Picked this one up in an antique store down in Wiliamsburg this past weekend. Pretty funny comic. Captain Easy isn't a Captain or Easy as far as I could tell, but he got the job done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Picked this one up in an antique store down in Wiliamsburg this past weekend. Pretty funny comic. Captain Easy isn't a Captain or Easy as far as I could tell, but he got the job done! There are several Roy Crane fans posting on the Golden Age boards... but I think this is the only Captain Easy cover that belongs on the pre-code thread. Cannabalism and good girl art by Schomburg.

Doohickamabob Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Is it bad etiquette to post about a comic that is still being auctioned? If so, I apologize (I have no affiliation or knowledge of the seller, FYI). I just think this comic is really cool and I've been enjoying watching the auction play out: Chilling Tales 16 on eBay 32 bids though it mostly looks like 3 bidders in a war. I love the cover.

VERY VERY tough pre-code right there, with a killer cover. Took me a long time to find my copy, with thanks (once again) to the other Andy across the pond.
