rjpb Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Great pick-up for 5 bucks! Love the burning finger torture. Just got finished watching an episode of Myth-Busters where they proved that reports of POWs strapped down over bamboo shoots were tortured by the bamboo growing right through their bodies can be done! I never noticed the matchsticks under the fingers on that cover before - wild stuff - great busy WW2 cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShadowKnows Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 That whole run of BEWARE is pretty interesting, highlighted of course , by the great FRAZETTA cover to # 10. The title started out with three bi-monthly issues published by YOUTHFUL in 1952 (#'s 10, 11 and 12) TROJAN published #13-16, then started the numbering over at #5. TROJAN then published #5-15, which ended the run in MAY of 1955 (with the lone post-code issue, #15). So, there is actually TWO # 10, 11 and 12's. Yours is the COOLER # 10, although the first one was pretty cool too A very nice consolation prize.Nice book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comicdey Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm pumped up about three books that I bought recently. Sorry for the lame pictures.... I don't have a scanner. These aren't super high-grade like many of the museum pieces that I've seen here recently on the boards, but for what they are, Farrell pre-code horror, the condition is stellar. They all belonged to a single collector who spent many, many years putting togeter an Ajax/Farrell collection. One reason I am very excited to have these books is that they are in very similar condition with vibrant colors and good page quality. Each has a cover crease, but not much in the way of edge tears, chipping or chunks. It's very difficult to put together a nice run, and unless you're a multi-millionaire, you have to go for books that are less than NM to do so. And that means finding books with similar defects and appeal. The collector of these books did an admirable job. The first book is Haunted Thrills #5 with what I consider to be a classic skull cover. I love this one... congrats love em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
