fifties Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I thought this went cheap. Kind of a cool cover and one you don't see every day. I don't have any of those. Most are post code so I never looked at any of them. Anybody know if the contents are good? Without the CCA seal, would this copy count as pre-code? I've never had a raw copy, so I'm not sure about the contents. I think issues 19 and 20 had Stuntman reprints. What CCA seal? This book doesn't have one, what with a cover date of December, 1954. I think they first appeared on books dated March of '55. This issue, according to the OSPG, reprints Tomb of Terror 1. I have a copy, and with stories like The Dead Awaken, and Wax Museum, ain't no way this book would ever pass the code censorship, eh eh. I would certainly recommend getting a hold of a reading copy.

N e r V Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 That's correct. The code began on March 1955 dated covers but there are a few in March that still missed having the code seal. I was wondering too why the code was mentioned on that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you like the book. Sorry it wasn't better but I upgraded that to a nice Crippen copy a while back and didn't need two. I was kinda surprised it stayed on the wall so long at Terry's show. I'm just a small collector and I think a lot of the "big boys" just passed me by. I had a lot of obscure books, cover books and not a whole lot of Marvels and GA DC's ect on my wall. I brought about 5 long boxes of 1/2 guide SA DC's/Marvels and only came home with about 1/2 of them. Was a great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I saw Robotman there too, but he didn't bring my JoJo...he just made fun of my "Paul" books Sorry Brian, I forgot and gave it to the kid down the street on Sat before the show. I'll bet you really had to whine and beat that guide to get that BEAUTIFUL Star Spangled #92 outta Jim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) I whined and beat the guide and got it from Alan Barr for what he paid Jim... I still can't believe he gave me that deal...but I've known him for 20 years. He's a good guy... Edited January 27, 2015 by tricolorbrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjpb Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I got this off Clink too (sorry it's not a better scan). I thought I had a raw copy somewhere but I haven't been able to find it so.... I think this is one of the better "headlight" covers. Whoa! that one was really pushing the envelope! I'm going to have to pick up one of these some day. Looks decent for a 3.5.

rjpb Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I was really happy to win this Wanted 49 on ebay. It went higher than what one might expect for the title, but still relatively inexpensive compared to a lot of books from the era. Though I've had a few issues of Wanted for years, I hadn't thought much about this issue until a boardie posted a copy recently, and then I just had to have one, especially when realizing it had two Harry Anderson drawn stories inside. John Buscema shows an early skill for dynamic composition with a cover that would be pretty nifty even without the eye catching pink monochrome coloring. Notable in OSPG for "unstable pink"cover inks, but also came in red based on the cover scanned for CBplus. It would be cool to find one of those as well.

Here is the other pink Buscema cover for Wanted. A surrealistic classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifties Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 About my favorite crime title. I have a good part of the run, and these later issues combine a bit of a horror element into the stories. "Eyes of Vengeance", the lead story in #49, would be at home in any horror comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a good part of the run, and these later issues combine a bit of a horror element into the stories. "Eyes of Vengeance", the lead story in #49, would be at home in any horror comic. Great pick-up! Yeah, most of the last 8 or so issues of Wanted have pretty good horror content. Lots of "dope" stories and violence. The surrealistic issue is one of my favorites. So is #52. Has a dope story called "Cult of the Killers". VERY wild, graphic horror story. There are some great covers on the earlier as well like the green spider cover and the devil/flame cover. These are very underrated and undervalued. (I can say this because I have most of them). Next time I'm in the box, I'll scan a few for you guys.
