Flex Mentallo Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Gorgeous copy of a truly cool book. Uncanny Tales 1, CGC 8.0 OW/W White Mountain copy. Courtesy of the late Jerry Weist. He was a good guy. This is another stunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Mentallo Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 They honestly don't get much better than this issue to me.....all Ditko. One of the truly classic Ditko horror covers, and 5 interior stories..all by the man. Incredible. The Thing! 15, CGC 8.5 OW/W I think one can make the case for this as the strongest of all PCH titles, and within that the Ditko run from #12 to #15 as good as anything in the genre. #12 might arguably have a better cover, but this might be the strongest issue overall and I cant recall ever seeing a better copy.

Wrightson fan Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Who is Next 5.....a tough, tough book. I paid through the nose for this copy.....but hell, it never comes up for sale. Contains what I consider Toth's greatest story, "The Crushed Gardenia". I wanted a copy for that reason alone. Cover to cover one of the best comics of all in terms of both art and story. As far as I recollect every story is about a serial killer. (Am I right Scott?) I would have to go back and check as my memory is failing me. I remember when that 8.5 came up for auction. It is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightson fan Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Getting towards the end here...... One of the first books I ever wanted. First time I ever saw it was in the colored cover section of Overstreet 10. I swore one day I would own a copy....and this is one of the best. Crime Does Not Pay 33, CGC 9.0 OW. Classic Charles Biro cover...with the hatchet wielding madman....and various strung up Bad Luck Charlies. Respectable? That's an understatement, your collection is freakin awesome Scott. Those WTOF copies are just amazing, and... Well you already know how I feel about your 33... Thanks Adam. The 33 is easy to love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a 9.4 came up on CLink a few years ago....but I already had my 8.5, which I feel is a very strong 8.5. Decided to let a run at the 9.4 go.

Sandflea Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Received yesterday; 1st E. C. comic purchase: Bought this because of one of the short stories it contained, regardless of value or grade.
