This is my second-ever pre-code horror purchase and also my second comic of this age that has now become detached from its cover. Oh well, at least it only cost me a buck to own and it is 63 years old after all.

What you have is a perfect reader, in that you can't depreciate it's condition by handling it (and the price was right!).

 

ACG's usually have one good tale out of the four, and if you truly like the book, either for it's cover illus or a story, you could consider upgrading to a VG when available. This publisher's fare doesn't get huge coin, as compared to EC's and Atlas's, so they are very affordable.

 

Edit; I just looked at my copy; "Dunston's Fate" seemed to be the best story IMO.

I like his lovely sweater and his urgency in getting that grave finished up.

Great cover, difficult one to find in any shape.

 

Post one if you got one, would love to see what else is out there.
