Congrats on the book, great issue. It presents great as is, and in my opinion a press will not help the overall presentation of the book. I don't like pressing these old classics. Just my opinion. It's also very likely that it's already been pressed Edited February 24, 2017 by Grantley Goddard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. This book's cover was printed on super glossy cover stock that flakes and stresses easily. When looking for candidate books to press, this would be at the bottom of my list due to the risk of collateral damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have developed a pretty good eye for candidates, but as always I love learning more about this genre of books I'm slowly creeping (pun intended) into....and speaking of that, grabbed this fella last night!

Jayman Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 A book I've been searching for a couple of years now finally crossed my path. I've always loved swamp monsters growing up with Swamp Thing and Man-Thing in the 70's. The Skywald horror mags at that time also reintroduced a character called the Heap. It became a goal to find this Granddaddy of this swamp monsters first appearance. Here are the pages of the Heaps first appearance from the story "Wanted by the Nazis". Not only is this story great but the entire 68 page issue is filled with good stories and terrific art by Charles Biro, Fred Kida, Bob Fujitani and Al Jaffe. I'm thrilled to have this book to say the least! Here are some of the splash pages, enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
