pinball Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 have always admired this one when posted; thanks go to a boardie for the pick-up. Oh yes! Terrifying look in that guy's eyes. Best zombie cover IMO. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I never used to collect golden age books. I was a zombie of Marvel comics from 1965-1980, the era I collected when I was a kid. Recently ( Dec 2009 ) I made my first ever golden aged purchase which was this Tomb of Terror 1: Once I got the book I found I really liked it, the image on the cover to the feel of the book. I have since been hooked on Golden aged books, moreso the pre-code horror but not limited to that genre. Recent pre-code purchases: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazybones Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I picked this book up from e-bay and the bright colors are what made me want the book. The book arrived and I thought it might be a different copy, but I think the seller has his scanner cranked up to the brightest settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLRoberts5 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 One of my favorite pre-code Heath covers. I'm sending it out to CGC next week; there's some "Marvel Chipping" on the back so it won't be a high grade, but I still love the book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I purchased this one on ebay but when it arrived that right hand corner was missing. I don't think it broke off but the dealer may have sliced it off while packing in mylar. I still like the cover but feel I should be compensated. Now that is the start of a horror story. I added another scan of the cover with the corner added in by photoshop. Still like the cover but don't think I should be bidding based on a photoshop scheme.

Wrightson fan Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Is that a This Magazine is Haunted # 3 ?? The coverless book two pictures north of here. It would appear that it is a copy of that rare mofo...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajaxfarrell Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hey ajax !!! It's me, ajax.... IF you look at the indica where it says FEB 1952 and what looks like a Vol. 1 no. 3, then you would plainly see it's is, in fact, a coverless copy of This Magazine is Haunted # 3. After spending years hunting down my copy, which has minor spine splits, every other copy I've ever seen, less than 10, had spine issues. I'm convinced there was a problem with spine splitting , during the printing process, and the vast majority of TMiH #3's are coverless. It RARELY turns up for sale, and it usually taped at the spine, or suffering from some splits. Nice Talking to You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Yes, finally some one is picking up on it. It is a coverless copy of TMiH # 3 which will go well with my copy, which, of course, suffers from bad spine split - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
