TheWatcher Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Most likely scenario, I set it aside and misplaced it or accidently put back into one of the boxes as I was pulling and replacing books. I was going through a few boxes picking books that day. The good news is that I just picked up a CGC'd ped copy. So it's not all bad, thankfully.

shiverbones Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I'm glad you scored another copy Angelo, I was feeling bad about posting this until your last post... I am really glad to have a copy of this book again. Not only one of my fave covers, but one of the toughest to find issues with Matt fox art.

shiverbones Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 and another Superior came my way today.... Classic issue with a superior standard plot involving a dead woman and her live grieving lover. What to do, how to get over my grief... of course, commit suicide! We can be together forever then...Great message! It's shocking how many of those type of stories superior did. "Heart of the Corpse" is a complete classic of Superior's logic... A mean boss fires an employee who has a a sick wife. Unable to care for her now, he kills his wife & commits suicide (Again with the suicide) Another employee is so outraged at this mean boss, he kills the and goes to the chair for it. While a doctor is examing the dead boss' body, he takes his heart out (it looks like a giant Lucky Charms Marshmallow) and declares that it is made out of stone. The the mean ol' boss comes back to life and kills the doctor, wanting his heart back. Then the two employess who died previously (Suicide & chair execution) come back to life to rip the mean ol' boss apart. WTF!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Honey, I'm home! Nice looking book Jay.....why are the scariest monsters always green? Scott Atlas did more and better green pch covers than anyone and I, for one, am grateful! Every story in that issue is a winner, especially the Heath. I showed it to him a few years ago and he was still pleased with his work on it (he's terribly self-critical so it was not an idle comment).

shiverbones Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) that is 4 copies of MT12 recently, the 4th is in Quicksilver's inventory in the UK. No other dealers have one though, and it hasn't been on ebay in god knows how long, so I think it still is one of the tougher Atlas books, I do think Menace #1 is tougher without a doubt though. A couple issues of Strange Tales in the teens may beat it too. Edited August 21, 2007 by shiverbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I think Menace 1 and 2 are bears to find! Might as well post my MT #12 again so we have a nice grouping. Big Apple Copy (not Angelo's though! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) My Chilling Tales #13 arrived today! It was a bit of a chance auction since the pictures were not very good. It was described as GD, but looked better. Great eye appeal, slight miscut and a nickel sized water stain by the monster's elbows. I'd say it's a VG, strongly together, so I am verry happy! The only down note, is the Matt Fox story is printed so off center on the page it actually cuts into the 1st line of type in the top row of panels.

shiverbones Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 A VCC Board win! Every story in this appears to be a violent classic! Can't wait to read it in detail It does contain "The Iceman Cometh" Which TTTTT made a big deal about. Thanks for the quick Shipping Steve!

shiverbones Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 This was bought as a VF-, It is actually a VF- so I am really pleased. One of my favoite Superior covers, I haven't had a nice copy of this in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) Last for today, but certainly not least! This issue contains one of the most twisted and horrific stories I have ever seen in a horror comic. A man goes to see a witch about being eternally young, and his wish is granted, he doesn't age & can't die. Well he ends up getting himself hung. He can't die, so now he is running around with his head totally spun around backwards. Since he can't see where he is going he walks into a fire and burns his hands & half of his face off. So now he is stumbling through the rest of the story in a panic, horribly disfigured AND with his head facing the wrong way, trying to get the witch to kill him. The panels of him walking with the head spun around are just WRONG! Edited August 22, 2007 by shiverbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
