that cover is simply amazing! What a great piece to have! (worship)

 

How many atlas horror covers are out there?

 

Thanks, guys.

 

The artwork has a large image size of approx 20" x 14" - which is awesome "in the flesh".

 

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a great many surviving Atlas Horror cover originals that I know of.

 

For some reason, ASTONISHING seems to yield the most amount of surviving covers. The covers to #s 8, 9, 19, 22 and 34 exist.

 

My first love is EC, but the Atlas titles certainly yielded lots of terrific comic-book work.

 

There are other Atlas original art covers on CAF, if anyone wants to do a search of this great resource . . .

Been wanting a good Atlas (pre-code Marvel) Horror cover for a long, long time.

 

I think this fits the bill nicely!

 

 

One of the best Atlas pre-code covers. I hardly ever see pre-code cover OA. If you're ever planning to sell...... :wishluck:

Keith, how's the story "Ghoul Teacher's Tale of Cremation"? Sounds freaky!

 

It is freaky! Ever read a story narrated by an urn before?? :insane:

 

From an urn no, from a toilet yes! :insane:

Here are my thoughts on the issue...

 

Here's the infamous TORMENTED # 1. I use the word "infamous," because if you were a reader of "TTTTT" you may remember the little story that went like this:

 

It was a dark & stormy night. There was a horror comic collector who purchased every copy of TORMENTED 1 & 2 that he could find. In all his years, he was only able to amass two copies of each. Spoooooky...... :devil:

 

Anyway, with the advent of the internet, I'd say it is safe to say that this title isn't really THAT hard to come by. Yeah, you gotta wait a bit before they pop up, but they DO come around....

Yeah, I think that tale has led to a bit of legend around the title. I picked up a nice VG#1 for $80 last week, so was particularly shocked by this sale (Ended at $255) There are many far tougher PCH's out there.

 

speaking of which , should we try to get a list together of 10 toughest pch's to find?

 

a few of the tip of my head that should be in the running....

 

This Mag #3

Beware Terror #8 (Cannibal witch cover)

Thing #12 (1st Ditko Cover)

Amazing Mysteries #32

Worlds of Fear #2

Adv. into Darkness #14

Beware #11 (Myron Fass self portrait cover)

Voodoo Annual

 

I know there are some atlas issues that are a nightmare to find, like that great mystery tales in the late teens with the purple green & orange cover of a skeletal ghost with matt fox inside (I think Jay has the book, wish I could remember the #) Buy I am not familiar enough with atlas to know which other ones are tough. Anyone else have some thoughts?

Off the top of my head I would add:

 

Avon's Secret Diary of Eerie Adventures is seldom seen

Trojan's Beware #10 (Frazetta cover)

 

The Atlas Menace title has a few htf books including 1, 2, & 5

The Mystery Tales issues I've found htf are 8, 9, 12, 14, 19

 

MT #12 is the one I have Mattew.
