jimjum12 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Mystic 25 is such a sweet book when it's in nice shape .... I imagine it wasn't cheap. Uncanny Tales 17 is often plagued by smudging in the black areas.... yours is pretty nice.... GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine48 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Not on an Atlas book. The single face genre seemed to be the province of Standard's Horrific series, by and large. That said, yes, it would have otherwise made a great horror cover. Granted there would have been a screaming girl in the background or those 3 vignettes on the left but I only had the splash to work with. My main point was the subject matter being a werewolf rather than a closet full of spooky clothes. Sadly, that "closet full of spooky clothes" was the beginning of tamed down covers for the series, and every JIUW following displayed actually even less "spookyness" on the cover. Prolly feeling the vibes from the approaching CCA censorship. I think horror comics in general hit their height in gory covers about August of 1954, and then it was all downhill after that. JIUW just began a little early. Look at the difference in the cover subject material up to issue #28, and then with #30 on; http://www.comics.org/series/816/covers/ Yeah, the writing was on the wall by then. No more vamps, wolves, undead or electrocution covers. Begins the "walking through walls" and "shadowy figure" covers. Although the artists seemed to compensate the tamer covers with a more detailed style that was quite pleasing. Everett for example: The background of the world of Suspense gves me chills...what I imagined Mordor as as a child... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
