capt_comics Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) I almost forgot this one was coming. A big thanks to our own Buck Biggins for this one. Superior is my favorite pre code producer because their stories are INSANE and as surreal as you could hope. And almost every issue has someone deciding to commit suicide. Just crazy stuff. This is a SOTI issue, and has the absolute classic"Return of the Ghoul" which is one of my favorite pre-code stories. OH, and the gloss on this book is SICK, I have never seen a PCH like it. GREAT stuff and like you said - some WILD stories I've been collecting these for over 25 years after being "turned on" to them by George Suarez in his old horror and SF mini sale catalogs Another odd thing about Superior was how they would use a splash page for a story as a cover in another title or issue Great pick up!!!

adamstrange Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 WOW! You are in for a treat! Pick up a reader of Strange Mysteries #8 or 10, or this JIF as a perfect introduction to just how fun these are to read. JIF#12 "The Evil Intruder". Bestest pre-code story ever.

shiverbones Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I never read #12, but can it possibly be better than "Revenge Can Be Fatal" in Strange Mysteries #10? Synopsis... Man's wife cheats on man with lover. Lover throws man into vat of acid. Man survives, spends his life tracking down lover, horror ensues along the way. Man finds lover just died before man could get to him, so man brings lover back to life so HE can kill him. Lover is brought back to life and kills the man instead, and laughs triumphantly. Evil wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_comics Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) why thank you ... thank you very much (thumbs u Whenever I use to get the George Suarez for sale list, he would always mention if this issue was available and price accordingly - I was always too late to snag the copy he was selling, but I finally picked up a copy at a show back in the 80s Classic stuff Edited May 2, 2008 by capt_comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) While not one of the standard "Classic" covers, this has always been a favorite of mine. So ridiculous that it's wonderful. The story Rat-Trap 1st appears inside which is pure precode heaven. This post is dedicated to comicdey, who enjoys GGA more than horror. This is a good mix of the two, and has far more "Nipple" then most books did at the time. Edited May 4, 2008 by shiverbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 OK Jay, here it is... There are very few PCH books that I have wanted for over 15 years, but never owned. Weird Mysteries #4, 5, Weird Tales of the Future #2, 3, Mister Mystery #12, Weird Chills #2, and this one. I am so happy to finally have found the right copy at the right price of this tough book.
