Jayman Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 If any girlfriend hounds me to sell any of my records or comics, or [#@$%!!!] about how much they cost, she's history. Or there's always this method! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*paull* Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 "Go ask my last girlfriend what happened when she complained about me spending $200 on a beat up comic book" "You'll find her buried in the backyard!"

precodekeith Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Believe me, the one who whined about selling my comics didn't make it very long! She got the axe, although not in a Crime Suspenstories fashion. The one I'm with now not only bought me pre-code for my birthday, but has given me $ to go to the LCS, and had suggested comic shopping for our anniversary! Hope she coughs up some dough for the Mid-Ohio Con, haha! I need to find that ring pretty fast, I think..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 A recent aquisition - low grade but the price was right. Not pictured in the Gerber - but not a white space either - I'm guessing non-EC horror didn't get quite the same respect back in the 80s, as there are a few runs which aren't completely represented. I love the self-referential cover - I wonder if that's a self-portrait of Myron Fass himself. Overstreet references "heart torn out" and "blood drainage", but don't expect anything too graphic - run of the mill sub-EC horror resides inside.

*paull* Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 (edited) HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Here's my copy of Voodoo #3 published by Farrell in 1952. The artwork is vintage Farrell... I really love the work that the Iger studio did on the early issues of Voodoo and Haunted Thrills. This particular copy is probably a VG- with creasing on the cover, and is possibly going to be upgraded at some point. Here's the cover...

One of my favorite concepts: the Horror Comic Writer Cover. Has anyone compiled a list of these? I know there are a few, anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PovertyRow Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 A classic Farrell cover. Even with the crease is quite nice. Good color, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*paull* Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 POV, my favorite Farrell covers are the ones without word balloons or text. This Voodoo #3 cover is a great example. Bold title (Farrell used really cool fonts) with a striking illustration and no text. None is necessary! But I still do like the Farrell covers with word balloons... whoever came up with them had a macabre sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Have posted this a few times but in context of Farrell/Voodoo without word balloons..a nice Baker cover and severed head panels - according to OS - actually don;t see this is classic Baker but wil take it!
