Jayman Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Very nice! Although that Dark Mysteries cover always made me wonder how long it took that guy to bury Jim. The body is a skeleton! First Precode Procrastination cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifties Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 The Dark Mysteries is a good reader. I don't recall ever seeing that Strange Tales cover, good pickups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrin's lawyer Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I picked these up from Dale Roberts at the Tulsa Comic Con tonight and both I have been wanting. I had been waiting for a higher grade of the Uncanny 23, but I noticed this copy had my month/day birthday date stamp on it, and I couldn't say no, although... not sure if that is good or bad in context with the 2 guys in the boat By the way, Dale's PCH wall books were incredible. There was a high grade Strange Tales 29 that was gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the Uncanny is a cool cover in that unlike most Atlas covers, you don't really understand what is taking place. Although the two figures in the boat are sealing someone in a coffin, we see a hat and an abandoned oar floating in the water to further question what happened. Though we are told "Ask No Questions!". Add to that it is a full cover illustration with no side panel vignettes makes this a winner!

Regarding the Uncanny Tales issue; The cover date is August, 1954, and this was about the time the publishers began taming down their offerings, at least AFA cover illustrations went. This is why you don't see a skeleton or some such. The hat floating on the water and the sinister clad figures nailing the container up pretty well deliver the message.

It delivers it well but still contains that air of mystery with what it doesn't show. It's nice to see that some artists were able to rise above the constraints of the oncoming code and deliver some grim, moody and atmospheric covers such as this Uncanny Tales cover.

Norrin's lawyer Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I agree. That's one thing I love about it. Is the cover by Everett?
