Jayman Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 (worship) Tremendous book and as you're aware, Frazetta's only horror cover. Great pick-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Thanks! yup! yet it guides for half of the famous funnies covers, and is much harder to find. Of course I had to pay famous Funnies cover prices to get it, so at least the market bears out the truth if not the guide.

CoinAddict 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. Very sweet book, Matthew. That cover is awesome. Congratulations on finding one of your grails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well between the two of us, we took the 2 copies that were on the non-ebay market as I got Payette's VG+. One more in an ebay store if someone wants to make a clean sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too cool!! I can't believe I've never seen it before, and can't believe it's by Frazetta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 If only we had a run of Frazetta horror covers! What a missed opportunity. I think the only reason this one was done was more as a favor to Sid Check who Frazetta was mentoring at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 (worship) Tremendous book and as you're aware, Frazetta's only horror cover. Great pick-up! Seems like popping out of a grave should be horror but does the hat make it only a western? bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yeah, i think that is more western than horror by a good stretch. AWESOME cover though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yep, as much as I love that Ghost Rider cover it's still just a western hero disguised as a ghost to frighten the "bad guys". Not a true horror genre book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 great book! DC mystery may be tame, but it's really well done. The covers alone in that series are all worth having, and some of the stories are fun too. And you get Tomahawk appearances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Wanted a copy of this book for a while. Finally found one in my price range... And the ghost was printed in blue -- 1951, Bill Ely. Maybe the technique was much more common (esp 1950s DC) than I realized but I'm just noticing it recently. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
