Mio Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hey... ! Turns out I have a copy of this gem, too. I bought it late last fall and had it shipped to my uncle's in the States... he still has it! I forgot all about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Cool! It's always great to rediscover a book you already own! I remember as a kid thinking that the arm with the gun belonged to someone else "off panel" as the cuff and shirt looked darker. It was only later after I saw a larger pic that I noticed the reflection in the mirror! Great cover! (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thumbs u I think Marie Severin thought the same thing and colored it that way It's much darker because it is cast in a heavy shadow from the blast on the opposite side.

rjpb Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Untrimmed right? Sweet collection. I wonder if in this era of endless hardbound archive reprints if bound originals have gained appeal in the last decade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*paull* Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Considering the *SPOON* coloring that we get in modern reprints, I'd much rather have a bound volume of originals. I wish all publishers would scan actual pages instead of re-coloring them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mio Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Untrimmed right? Sweet collection. I wonder if in this era of endless hardbound archive reprints if bound originals have gained appeal in the last decade? Yes, the Cochran BVs are all untrimmed. This was a sweet score - photos don't do any justice to it. These are some bright, glossy comics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish all publishers would scan actual pages instead of re-coloring them. Amen! - I would buy a lot more collections if they did - one of the things I really liked about the PlasticMan book Art Spiegelman & Chipp Kidd put out.

jacks2start-migration Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I had other targets in mind in pre-code horror books when I first saw these. Seeing them up close made me realize that I had to have them for my collection. I have to say it is great to see yet another precode horror collector here! We are slowly gaining in world dominion! Have you seen my pre-code horror checklist? It is my take on all of the precode horror books including title, publisher, issue numbers, dates and some notes. You can open it in your browser (it is in CSV format), copy it and paste it right into a spreadsheet. Hope you think it is useful. Was fun to com;pile and I opcassionally update it. If you see something that should be added or removed please let me know! Precode Horror Checklist can someone help me get this check list opened, I cant for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickamabob Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 A recent ebay pickup - a solid VG with ow pages for only $66 shipped! This will go nicely with my #20 and #22. What I really like is the little detail of the guys brains blowing out the back of his head in the mirror as well as at the top. Notice the diagonal lines in the mirror are going the same direction as the gun blast/brain matter. I suspect this was the artist's way of creating "plausible deniability" in case anybody was offended by the depiction. He could say, "Oh, that's part of the mirror."

BB-Gun Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I bid on a lot of Beware TT comics but was outbid. Then I noticed this cover on GA.UK. I wish I had bid more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annihilus Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Got this the other day from 143ksk....my journey into GA is becoming somewhat of a trend now. I'm starting to sell off all my Bronze heroes to buy GA Sci/Fi & Horror Comics & Pulps. I'm screwed. I know you all have probably seen this a ton of times, but I it!

Darth Corgi Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 That Startling Terror #11 was my entry into Golden Age PreCodes earlier this year. How could I look away from a cover like that!? Welcome to the craziness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
