shiverbones Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 nice to see so mant great books? That title logo on Phantom witch doctor was just TOO tempting for writing I guess. Almost ever copy I see has a name or something else written in that white part of the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I thought this would be an interesting before code and after code comparison. Before the code this complementary copy of Another World #2 had gruesome monsters with shiny teeth on the cover and after we only see an eye focused on the victims and a couple of arms. Like Hitchcock movies, the suspense is not due to what is seen but what is anticipated. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yeah they had to become more creative with the code constraints (which is a good thing) but I still love the freedom they had to nauseate the public with covers like this : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoinAddict Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 This copy of Dark Mysteries #10 came during the weekend. It is not the greatest copy out there. It is pretty beat up and the cover is detached. I probably paid too much for it but I could really care a less. I already read it and it has a great story about a woman that was taken in by cannibals. A guy gets lost in the jungle and she finds him and they fall in love and he takes her back to the city where they get married. She then begins sneaking out of the house and feeding on people after she kills them. He finds out about her killing and tells her that she needs to stop and then she starts claiming she is having accidents in the house when she is actually feeding on herself. Needless to say in the end she ends up dying with a full stomach. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Ghost Rider mixed cowboys with Zombies and Witches. They also added a few pure horror stories. Occasionally the horror was more theatrical and sometimes the ghosts were real. Other westerns tended to go a little on the wild side too. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 ....................................... Not trying to over critique this cover but I was always confused on what's going on. Is that the vampire in the coffin and a ghost bat or is that a victim in the coffin that the vampire bat just fed from and is flying away. Does the vampire killer see the bat? Either way I love the colors, and on this copy they are especially nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
