Mr.Illmannered Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 ^WOW! I wish I could have bought it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldust40 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Don't really know where to post this....it's a DC attempt at the genre, but quite tame by comparison. This is the nicest copy I've ever seen....but there must be a Mile High or Bethlehem.....this one isn't even Fine, but the price was great and it's got White pages.....always loved this cover. GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u ....this is a book I SHOULD have gotten at the Richmond show.....ever put a book back and get home and go WTF...? Great cover and looks to be in 7.0/7.5. Get hold of the dealer and buy it via mail order!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) I think I might have to, Andy.....it was almost double guide, but I should be used to that by now. Just the kind of cover to get Mom's panties in a bunch....." I don't THINK SO, young man !".......GOD BLESS.,... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S . That's why they're usually in bad shape, you had to keep those kind of comics outdoors Edited July 11, 2012 by jimjum12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vistor Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 This one has been at the top of my want list for a long time. It's got a detached cover and rusty staples with staining but I'm just happy I found an affordable copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickamabob Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Just watched this eBay auction end... Item number #190700463313... I would have posted about it earlier but didn't want to annoy any bidders by drawing attention to it. It was an 18-comic lot of early EC horror issues in what appears to be fine-plus condition. It includes the first Tales From the Crypt #20 (#1), and two issues of Crypt of Terror (#18 and #19). Also there was Vault of Horror #13 (#2), and Haunt of Fear #4, along with numerous other early issues of the above titles. Auction ended at $2,676.26, which is just shy of averaging $150 per comic. If they're as nice as they look, a $150-per-issue average is a pretty good deal. Though it was still quite a bit higher than I could or would have bid!

That was too much dough to risk for me. But you are right, some of those books looked to be in quite nice shape. Would love to know how this works out for the buyer.

My thrill bid turned out to be pretty un-thrilling, relative to the sale price. I am pretty sure you have most of those issues pretty well covered with your Cochran bound volume, you lucky person....

Hiro Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Just picked this up from a recent sales thread on here. I know that this series was continued from Sub-Mariner Comics. I've read that the issue before this one, Amazing Mysteries #32 is considered Marvel / Atlas first horror comic. Is that correct? Anyone have any other info? Thanks!

Scrooge Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 It typically is, yes. Know that the cover illo corresponds not to a story but to the text piece. It does contain a story featuring The Witness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Nice Weird Mysteries......I'm still looking for the right white paged copy of # 2 to turn up. I'd prefer a 5 but it's floated upwards past my reach. Here's a couple of new ones for me. GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
