Both great pickups!

Especially love that 7 for that Creature from the Black Lagoon vibe! :applause:

 

I especially love the 8 because it's red. :cloud9:

I think this cover is pretty classic (and fun)...

 

my take: he shot the girl, hence his shock, and the monster grinning at him for his lousy aim.

I've wanted the first issue of Adventures Into Terror for some time now, and finally bit the bullet and paid the price for a sorta decent reader copy. I also enjoy the stories in the early Marvel Tales issues;

The AIT has something that I've never seen before in a comic book; a Library of Congress stamp. Has anyone encountered this in other comic books?

Those early Marvel Tales are usually a little tame for me content wise. Ijust picked up #103 to finish the run. I read it last night and it was a little "marginal". The later issues get a little "grittier" if you know what I mean.

 

I do have one pre-code horror book with that stamp as well. I believe it is a Fawcett horror book. Don't see many though.

In order to properly register a copyright it used to be a requirement to send a copy to Washington where they ended up at LoC. Many of the comics made their from the LoC in the 60s into the hands of collectors. In later decades, the LoC de-accessioned comics and other items.

Nifty little cover -- taking a leaf from the cover of Walt Disney Comics & Stories #1.
