adamstrange Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Law Against Crime #3. If there was ever an under-graded book, this one is it. If all 7.0's looked like this one, I would never try to buy anything higher. Highest graded copy in the census. Seduction of the Innocent book with both mentions on numerous pages, and a SOTI illustration that depicts two lover shot through the head while parked in a lovers lane. The story deal with a predator/thrill killer. Quite alot to get Doc Wertham all worked up about and it did its job well. A very important book and piece of history. Classic LB Cole cover. Scott depicts two lover shot through the head while parked in a lovers lane That's a terrific LB Cole cover and it's a romance book as well!

Jayman Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Not HG but how can you go wrong with a Russ Heath cover? This cover actually reminds me of an obscure '80's horror movie "The Boogens" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Can't go wrong at all with a Heath! The original art to that cover exists and, from the pic, I saw looks just a killer as the comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Nice! I notice a bunch of the Atlas Suspense books have at least one indented staple. I'm guessing because of the thicker 52 pgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Roberts Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I just picked up some new pre-code books. Alot of it is in low grade, but some really cool stuff and a few really tough books. Still working it up, but here is some processed with more to come in the next few days. www.dalerobertscomics.com Here are a few highlights....

october Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Good lord! Book is what? A 3.5 at best with that piece missing from the spine? I didn't pay that much more for my slabbed 5.0 a few months ago, and it looks WAY nicer. Demand for pre-code may be in recession, but not for this issue! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110211958407&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEyeSees Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Awesome EC P5!! I have always liked that cover. Excellent choice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thanks. I wouldn't call this issue scarce (I doubt any EC is really), but I would call it "uncommon". I've kept an eye out for a decent copy for quite a while now. The cover sizzles, and in general the Shock Suspenstories run from about #7-13 is one of my very favorite EC runs. Just really strong writing, some of their most daring "social issues" stories, and of course the great great art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
