BCM 50 is the more striking cover, but both are great.

BCM 50 by a nose.

 

It is a more striking cover, not that TOT 15 is much less desirable.

I prefer the cover to TOT 15- the exploding face and the use of the color red really hits me more than the cover of BCM 50. Both are fantastic covers.

The flying gears kill it for me on TOT 15. Makes it seem like a robot, but guess they had to do that...so BC 50 wins in my book.

[vaultkeeper]

Black Cat #50 has my vote. [thumbsup]

[Speedy-D]

 

 

I'll go with ToT by a hair.

I like how you get the woman's reaction on ToT, but I also how you get the hands AND the face melting on the BC. Personally I like the BC logo better, so I'm gonna vote for that one. With these 2 covers it's that close it comes down to that!

I was just going to post that. (thumbs u

 

Black Cat is my personal preference, but not by much.

[Mike's Rack]

TOT because of that bulging eye.

[Scrooge]

Actually my choice of BCM 50 was easy. This is a quintessential Atomic Age book which combines Horror with that power of the Atom with the Radium bar element. Hands down my favorite of the two.

[Dick Pontoon]

Its a tough call for me, but I find TOT a tad more dynamic.

BCM50 hands down in this case, but I prefer many other pre-code covers to this one.

My thoughts exactly. If you have any interest in the history of the era, BCM is the clear choice.

TOT pros:

Better composition, more dynamic

Better horrified reaction of the victim.

The "story" is told clearly (radium is dangerous)

 

TOT cons:

No dame.

 

 

BCM pros:

Dame.

 

BCM cons:

What the hell is going on? A fleshy robot exploding?

 

[cheetah]

I voted ToT because I have one. I'd have voted for BCM if I had one of those, though.
