The Undead Thread: Pre-Code Horror 21 21

This run doesn't seem to have many really fun/creepy monsters, but this angry fire monster in space is pretty cool.

 

 

I think this lady is wearing a full body condom...

 

Adequate protection can never be a bad thing.

Hey Keith, I finally added this book to my collection!

Thought this was a great cover ever since I saw you post your copy, and being that my precode collection was severely lacking "Superior Chronic" I added these recently!

This one and the number 7 from Dannyboy!

 

 

Some great interiors too!

[Jayman]

Love this skull cover!

 

 

This first page splash is pretty cool also!

[shiverbones]

Superior!!!

Very nice! The covers are cool, but I seem to be enjoying the interiors more and more... pre-code rules!

Oh yeah! There's always some pre-code gooey-goodness inside!

Dannyboy has the hook-up lately! I owe him bigtime, personally.

Jay, too bad you didn't have the chance to post them on April 20th...

Superior stories are "superior!"

That's one wicked worm by Ditko!!!

[Jayman]

Nice! Is there a worm story on the inside to go with that cover?

 

WTTB!

The splash page from Strange Mysteries # 2, for the "Haunted Hand" story made the cover to the sister book, Mysteries Weird and Strange # 10...neat.

 

Also, of note is the cover date of NOV 1954 for the MW&S # 10, November 1954, very late in the pre-code years.

 

BTW...does anybody know the last MONTH-YEAR of the very last pre-code horror comics ?

Maybe early 1955 ?

I noticed the last issue of Strange Mysteries was # 21, dated January 1955.
