fifties Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Unfortunately, most PCH reprinted stories are in B/W, rather than color. The "Seduction of the innocent" series, and all the EC reprints however are in full color. The main difference in even these reprints, is their size. The originals were slightly larger (but, ya can't have everything). Thx for posting stories from WOF 3 and Venus 19, gentlemen; that Venus 5th page, bottom panels, looked very ECish!

Flex Mentallo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I for one love the existential use of color in Fawcett horror - and most of their artists were really strong. Thanks for posting BOOT! I only have the splash page of this one from Unknown Worlds #1. I like it even more than the cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Mentallo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hey thanks for the welcome! This story was awesome! I love Everett's art here. I don't think I've even heard of this comic. This is the book it's from. That's one of the best copies I've seen. When I first read Venus #19 I could not make sense of it. Who was she? Why was a love goddess in a horror comic? Because of Marvel we'd become accustomed to "continuity". The idea that stories could just be cooked up at random and stood alone felt quite alien. Now it feels cherish-able.

Jayman Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Great Lovecraft inspired story Christian! Did my mention of "Evil Dead" prompt you to post this? Morales definitely drew the creature very "Shoggoth-like" and that last panel is to die for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damonwad Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I've really enjoyed this thread. I love seeing all these great stories that are usually hidden in plastic. Here's one I posted a while ago in the Atlas thread but thought it belonged here also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Great story! Has elements of Plan 9 From Outer Space, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Crawling Eye all rolled into one. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarg Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Everybody's seen the classic cover to Astonishing #30, but few have actually read "The Eyes," including me. Enjoyable, but I thought the ending was kind of lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thumbs u I got a Body Snatcher vibe from the story but haven't seen the Crawling Eye before. I'll have to try to find that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Tabar Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hey thanks for the information! I'll try to find some of this stuff. I've only recently gotten into this fifties stuff. These boards are great! I share your love of the stories. Which other comics had multiple good stories in them? Thanks to my friend Christian, I have a few, but not many of these fifties horror comics. Fortunately Brad, there are a number of great reprints of PCH stories out there now, in a variety of formats. From BW reprints of the 90s available on eBay (Tales to Terrible to Tell) -- which also give great historical context -- to newer reprints of collected works, Bob Powell, Jack Cole, etc. As well as title reprints (Chamber of Chills, Black Cat Mystery, etc.) You can get a pretty tremendous amount of material in reprint form, without having to spend a lot, and then for particular issues/stories that really grab you, it's fun to seek out an original copy. These are a lot of fun on various levels -- getting PCH books in lower grade is more affordable, and allows easy appreciation of the art and stories; trying to find originals in anything approaching high grade (some books are easier than others) adds another dimension of collecting challenge -- but it can get pricey! WTTB and have fun looking for precodes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Mentallo Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Some of the Eiger shop matrial in Superior's output is worthy of mention. This is one of my faves... Edited September 9, 2014 by Flex Mentallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
