If 4&5 were not in the run, I think this would be the go to book! originalisbest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was able to find a #2 early this year but the #1 still eludes me. originalisbest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 8 hours ago, originalisbest said: I have to agree! Still, so many of my books pale in comparison to examples you've posted. That's the fun thing about collections (and PCH in particular) -- no two are likely to be exactly alike. I'm often in admiration of so many from Jayman's posts that I don't yet have, yet, he once mentioned several ones of mine I'd posted, he didn't have either. I agree with everything you said except about your books paling in comparison. You've got a lot more variation in pre-code books then I do. originalisbest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great book! Weird Mysteries, Mister Mystery and Weird Chills are becoming almost impossible to find lately. Even the big dealers don't have any in stock. originalisbest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Microbia Posted May 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Awesome foreground and background elements with this Everett cover. One of the better covers of early issues of this title IMHO. Got it from MCS in TX few weeks back.

originalisbest Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Dug up some Crypts out of the crypt -- #40 is one I've had a long time, and especially wanted to get, both on its own merits as a cover, and its use for the oversized color reprint collections from Russ Cochran he did in '85 (my first exposure to EC!)

Popular Post IngelsFan Posted May 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2018 I was happy to score this recently from a boardie.

I know some PCH guys don't care for the side vignettes on a lot of these Atlas books. I happen to love them! I think they add a bit of charm to these covers. "The Corpse Comes Back", "The Terrible Trophy", I mean, come on! These are great! jimjum12, Raze, SAKI and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
