BB-Gun Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have to get that weird thrillers now for the Mardi Gras story! The first page of the Mardi Gras story. The cover artist supplied a missing panel from the story. It is always nice to find another Powell story (in WT 5). Scans from GA.UK. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasFan Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 So what happened to Doris and her hubby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 So what happened to Doris and her hubby? I believe that the two victims are Doris and hubby. Although the cover illustrates that crime does not pay, better than the interior story. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 A couple more "Pat K" Pre-codes. Man the pages on these are nice! How cool is it this young woman just happened to buy the origin of the Old witch (Last post) as well as the Crypt Keeper? These were the only issues of each title she bought!

shiverbones Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Because of my intense love for Superior, I am re-posting this here. Superior's ONLY attempt at Mad style satire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 HOM#2 to keep my #1 company. I guess #3 is next... Not just an artist, but a mathematician too! This is the cover that many people sneer at -- it's not that bad! Interesting to see the choice of a white, transparent ghost at DC. It seems like pale green ghosts were all over the covers with the occasional pale blue. ACG may have started the pale green ghosts, then DC adopted them. Was it Schaffenberger's influence? He used pale green ghosts a lot on e. g. Lois Lane covers. Is that a detail you've ever tracked? Nice-looking book despite the missing chunk.

shiverbones Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Not just an artist, but a mathematician too! - you have a way with mocking! Nice-looking book despite the missing chunk. - Yes, the rest of the book is an Off White FN with great eye appeal. The only cover art missing is black foreground stuff. I don't think it's a bad cover, and in fact the colors are really quite striking, but it's very tame for precode horror, even for DC at that time.
