Jayman Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Another great book from Andrew at GAcollectibles. Don't know if I like the main cover image or the immortal side panel better: Nice looking copy John. Always love seeing the large scans, never noticed the webbed hand before. I always assumed it was just a typical zombie! BTW: the side panel "The Immortal" very much resembles Everetts Zombie on the cover of Menace # 5.

Jayman Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 And since we're all showing off our GACollectibles purchases, I might as well too... The solid green background and that haunting stare is just killer on this book. The ghouls in the background help too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) This copy is so glossy I thought it might of been spray varnished at first glance (it's not) but just a stunner!

That's a nice looking VG-!! Looks better than my fine copy! This book had a beautiful spine and real nice rear cover....there was a non color breaking crease that ran the length of the front cover --- hence the 3.5 grade Edited September 21, 2006 by showcase-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This book had a beautiful spine and real nice rear cover....there was a non color breaking crease that ran the length of the front cover --- hence the 3.5 grade Diagonal from above the "I" in "weird" to the right of the ten cent price? I can sort of see it. Even with that 3.5 is still too harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*paull* Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) Here's a real common book. Bought last year, but just scanned... sorry for the poor quality scan... the book is much nicer (CGC 3.5) than it looks here. Outside of the obvious defect, it's quite nice.

*paull* Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 P.S.: Credit for encouragement on that purchase goes to Comicdey. I had to get over the sticker price, and I'm really glad that I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Yep, great pickup Paul! That must be one of the earlier out-and-out horror covers on a comic, no? (As opposed to covers of other genres with horror elements.) Offhand I can't think of too many from that early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*paull* Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) This book would probably be one of the last 2-3 books I would ever sell. I had a real hard time locating one, and I remember telling Comicdey that I'll probably see three of them on eBay right after I bought it. The copy I bought is the only one I've seen for sale in the past three years. I certainly seems to be one of the earliest horror-style covers. L.B. Cole was one of the few at the time doing horror covers even when the book interiors were not horror-related (Thrilling Crime, Mask Comics, Suspense Comics).

I was hoping to see two or three on ebay because I'd like one also. Did you check out my copy of the Thing #3 and the miscut Worlds of Fear issue?
