Larryw7 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I love them both. Shock Suspense 9 is one of my favorite comic books. Great cover, and one classic story after another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickamabob Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Many thanks to a fellow Boardie for this strange cover... It's not as bad as it looks. This woman just has a fence-shaped torso. Dig the shoulder pads. She also was recently competing in a cherry-pie eating contest, hence the reddish stains. The moral is: Don't jump to conclusions, Renaissance Fair guy.

I foolishly passed on a 6.5 at WWC a few years back. I ended up with another copy in the same grade (thanks Jimbo), but it was pricier (though still cheaper than what I would have to pay now apparently).

Some books just have to be overpaid for. I always preferred the 18 but a nice 19 would probably eclipse it in price. I was never a big fan of the cover to # 17.....but to me, IT has the best stories of the 17-19 trifecta. GOD BLESS....

Mine is a lowly 4.0 or 4.5 and I am still thrilled to have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I passed on dannyboy's copy of the # 18 several years ago for what would be a nice price today. I even PMed October about pricing range back then. I ended up buying Golddust's copy off his site thanks to Jimjum's tip-off it was listed there. Oh! Notice how all these same people are still talking about the same book today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Mentallo Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It must be about 10 years since I got my copies - I've had lower grade copies of #17 and #19 in the distant past. The #17 ws a CGC 6.0 from Ebay which I think cost about $400; the #18 came from Boyd Rowden and as I recall was $475 (small piece professionally reattached top right, so apparent 8.0 or something) close; the #19 came from Jim Payette - it was part of an original owner horror collection and was also $475 and graded 7.5, a bit harsh as it's very beautiful. The strongest stories are in #17 and #18 I'd say. #19 definitely has a last issue feel to it. Artwork is still great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
