Nice colors on that. I think my spine is a bit better but not as vibrant. 

The 4.5 Horrific 1 ended at $2800. 

And the Famous Funnies 214 3.0 ended at $1230. I guess the sale earlier this year was not a fluke. I bought a 3.0 or so from Harley for $300 in March. 

As a Pre-Code Horror collector since the late 80's I find these prices hard to believe, $2-300 used to be a big price for most of these books.

I've only been collecting GA for a couple/few years and just in that time the price increases have been insane.

Unless it's a comic I really want, or is marked much lower than it should be, I am a window-shopper on these guys.

Yea I just watched a 4.0 on eBay go for over $800. I wasn't expecting anywhere near that for this book.

Great stories inside, many written by Stan Lee.  It's a top of the line Atlas PCH comic!

Personally I think that issue has the best stories of any Atlas horror book.  Too bad he can't read them.

I know the site; use it to advance read certain books I'm considering bidding on.  Yeah, you can see the stories there, but still not the same as reading the paper pages.  Sorta like, "taking a bath with your socks on", eh eh.

Just arrived today. Now this is "esoteric". Just the kind of books I used to love picking out of random dealer's boxes on the cheap back when there were comic shows...

It's a good one, a combo Horror and funny animal/cartoon type characters. Was a early EBay purchase for me around 98. My favorite line Rib-Tickling Horror !!!

Mine was from eBay as well. Viva la rib-tickling horror! :headbang:
Just noticed on RM’s copy that the Hitler tombstone has a question mark with a Swastika that couldn’t be seen on Hap’s and my copy because it was cut off. Pretty cool!

Would love an 8.5 but the grade does not necessarily coincide with the cut of the book.
