I see this one posted a few times, so thought I would show off mine again. This is my favorite PCH, and the one that really hooked me when I first joined the boards. I remember seeing Artboy buy his and starting my search right then in earnest. Such a very cool book.

Thanks.. these pre-codes are scarce in higher grade, in general paper in the 50's was of a lower quality. Quite a few of the Northford's show tanning on the inside covers and hence I think thats why the grade of 8.5 on the Chilling Tales ...otherwise structurally the book is a 9.4.

interiors rock -especially if you like adaptations of classics + Matt Fox's art in #13 is super (Hand of Glory). also shown Kipling & Kiefer from #16 & Poe by E. Allgor (?) from #17.

That sounds like a good one!. No additional info on Allgor on the Who's Who either.

This splash is different than the one posted on the Atlas Tales site which must have come from when it was reprinted in the Crypt of Shadows 1 from the 70's. Wolverton is praised on the splash, his sig is moved and it is recolored in the title.

 

I will be posting the whole story over in the Classic PCH stories thread...

Great book. I've always thought this cover is genuinely disturbing :sick:
