Wrightson fan Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Great book jimbo.......love the Everett Venus issues, although 19 is definitely the best. Man, to be a comic character, Venus is smokin'. I know...that sounds pitiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajaxfarrell Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 MENACE ...that whole run is so COOL and Jimbos copy is GREAT. I love the peeks inside of the Venus. (and the PEAKS on Venus..ha, ha ) Jimbo, maybe you could bless us with some interior shots of that Menace ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) I have been too busy to post much lately, but here are my 4 most recent precodes. I always thought this had a goofy cover (Technically World's of Fear #1), so I avoided it. I picked this up in a trade because it was a nice copy, and found not only a beautiful Powell story inside, but a KILLER Bailey as well.

shiverbones Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) Ace always gets a bum wrap (Not as bad as ACG) but I have been appreciating them more lately. This cover ranks up there in my eyes, it's REALLY Creepy! Edited June 6, 2008 by shiverbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 This has one of Lou Cameron's BEST drawn stories inside. It was posted on "The Horrors of it all" blog recently if you want to take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 And one of my all-time FAVORITE precode issues! The cover is wonderful, but two of the stories inside are GREAT! With "The Horror of Mixed Torsos" being a "Have to see it to believe it" classic! Smokingly nice copy too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Speaking of Dark Mysteries.. I was thinking lately .. I have NEVER seen the witch burning cover copy for sale, anyone have one? Not in 10 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Excellent work by Harry Anderson, who's best art was probably for Atlas -- but I certainly agree with you about how cool this one is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 And one of my all-time FAVORITE precode issues! The cover is wonderful, but two of the stories inside are GREAT! With "The Horror of Mixed Torsos" being a "Have to see it to believe it" classic! Smokingly nice copy too! "The Horror of Mixed Torsos" is an actual story title? Yow! Can you imagine how comical that one-leg-hopping would probably look on film? Seems like a strictly comic book concept. Great new batch, 'bones! Just in time to repack for shipping to NO?

shiverbones Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks guys! Horror of mixed torsos was actually also reprinted recently on the "Horrors of it all" blog, as well as one of the issues of TTTTT (But it's low quality there) yup, that was the end of my buying for awhile as the move commences...
