Worlds of Fear #2, #3

[Flex Mentallo]

WORLDS OF FEAR #2 A very pretty copy except that the spine is completely split. Front cover is still attached at the staples. Very glossy, with great paper. $135

 

This is arguably the rarest of all pre-code horror books, and like other Fawcetts of this time period, suffered from inferior cover stock. Almost all the copies I've seen have a heavily taped split spine - so almost impossible to find an intact copy.

 

Here for instance is one recently sold by Harley Yee:

 

WOF #2

 

 

If you buy this copy, please resist the urge to tape the spine!

WORLDS OF FEAR #3 VF, with nice pages. It's a very nice copy, with the wear visible in the scan. Asking $245 - less than I paid.

 

 

 

This issue features a classic story illustrated by George Evans, which I've posted here.

 

The Metamorphosis of the Gkmloooms!

So is the cover completely detached with the split spine on the #2?

[Flex Mentallo]

The front cover is attached at the staples and the back cover is detached.

Why are almost all # 2,s split ? Mine is too...

[Flex Mentallo]

Like Man from Planet X, the cover stock is very thin, and though not brittle, does not respond well to folding. So very few copies of either book exist without evidence of significant splitting and/or chipping.

 

Here is my copy of Man From Planet X, not for sale, but to show that even a very pretty copy is in technically low grade by CGC standards. Yet I will likely never find a better copy.

That is a really nice looking book - thanks for the info...
