adamstrange Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I've come to appreciate the Ajax books, not just for the covers on the ones just shared, but also for their offbeat and often off-the-wall stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Here's another cool cover. Awesome book! Always liked that cover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalisbest Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 So agree! Haunted Thrills #8 was the first of that title I ever saw, and one of my first precode purchases back in '98. I have the run now, and I really genuinely like each cover (not always the case with most precode titles.) I will try and get a group shot of them at some point.

originalisbest Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 And, of the run, Haunted Thrills #7 was the last one I found to complete it... but I'm not sure any of the issues are particularly more scarce, though demand for them may vary. #5, 6 and #9 may be my fave covers. Vaultkeeper's #6 is gorgeous, and (happily for me) looks a lot like mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmyst Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Bill Everett was at his peak I think in the early 50s. The interior art by him in this issue is simply amazing. Gotta crack this one out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta crack this one out soon. One of my favorite books. I still regret passing on the Bethlehem copy. Congrats on yours. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the best part of the Ajax/Farrell books... outside of EC, I think they had the most entertaining stories of the pre-code era. Superiors were, wait for it............ superior. But right after them, Ajax/Farrell. Both of these companies used the Iger shop to produce the art & stories for their entire line of comics so they are pretty similar in quality. I prefer the slightly wackier art and stories from Superior but wouldn't really begrudge anyone liking Ajax better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Love that book ,who was the cover artist someone know? Paul Reinman I think. I forgot to post the signed splash panel from Pep 32. Cover originally posted by Speedy-D. Note that the colors changed a little but more blood was added on the gate.
