Either way, nice books! Finally posted it to this forum! Ha ha- finally got one. Been passing on low grade DOH copies for years, finally saw one I wanted... then of course a few days later another higher grade became available, visually though I think this one is better. Added a photo taken in daylight- much truer representation.

You might want to pick up a beater reader; the story, "The Ghosts Curse" is haunting. Black Bat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Black Bat Posted February 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2020 Finally got around to bagging and cataloging a bunch of raw GA from last year. Here' s the PCH pile- love seeing them spread out together. Got another pile of crime/jungle/misc and some Coles I'm gonna post on the Cole thread. It's nice to step back and soak it in now and then. It's weird but I don't get the same satisfaction laying out the slabbed stuff. Too much plastic, not enough paper?

Hmmm I’ve been struck by his skull-style since the beginning, I’ve never thought to check his women. Looking forward to it 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say, conservatively, a 6.5 or so. A small tear and foxing on the back cover. Jayman and thewritestuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Black Bat Posted February 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2020 This book was a sleeper/surprise for me, in the past I just passed over it without much interest until I saw one in person, great colors on this copy in hand. The transforming skull woman is a great image. Gonna take a closer look at this entire title. Larryw7, Raze, comicjack and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fifties Posted February 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) The ACG "horror" titles, Adventures into the Unknown, Forbidden Worlds, Out of the Night, and Skeleton Hand for the most part each had 3 happy ending stories, and one in the true horror genre. Bought at reasonable prices, they are good pickups. If you can ever find a copy of "The Clutching Hand", grab it. ACG only produced one issue, prolly because it started with an August 1954 cover date, and the CCA was right around the corner. You'll also note that they didn't include their logo on the cover. Harvey also did this with their four horror titles. Edited February 27, 2020 by fifties bounty_coder, shiverbones, Larryw7 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
