adamstrange Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thanks! It really transcends collecting a comic for me. I know that sounds corny. My first collecting experience was collecting stamps with my Dad. That's one of several stamp collecting covers that I'm fond of.

What a nice copy too. @Menace #3 - You have all inspired me to read my copy today. It's a good issue all around. I showed Russ Heath that story and he talked about what he was thinking when he drew particular panels and pointed out when he was using photo reference. He seemed pretty pleased with his work which is unusual as he is often very critical of his early efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) A great issue with prime Powell & Nostrand work further enhanced by a gerber F up which resulted in the 1st #24 being printed twice, while this was left out. The cover by Elias is SO iconic, yet hard to believe it was not used until the end of the pre code era. What could be more to the point than the rainbow colored corpse hand bursting from the ground?

shiverbones Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 This comic is messed up. The stories are completely whack. I thought the cannibal one was bad, but the story with the guy who shows his new wife all the prosthetic surgery he has had while she accidentally kills herself is INSANE. Check, Woodbridge & Torres art in this classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It played out like An EC in every way & was drawn as well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I posted the last 2 pages of the crazy story about the absent minded professor in the pre code horror thread. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check, Woodbridge & Torres art in this classic. Woodbridge was just starting out his career with his work for Premier. It was definitely not a good time to go into the comics biz, which is a shame as I think he developed rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
