I'm more frightened by the groom's choice of ties!

 

Although, I must say he has fine taste in cufflinks!

Here's another pre-Thor JIM with more shoveling action:

I "dig" that one, Pov!

 

Wow, Atlas was soooo creative with story titles. "Til Death Do Us Part" in JiM 6 to "Til Death Us Do Part" in JiM 15.

Looks like a flaming shovel of poo to me. Perhaps it should be... "Til Death Poo Us Part".

Generally, flaming poo works best when placed on front doorsteps. Someone should tell corpse-boy, as I think he's taken it a little too far. I'm quite sure this couple won't find his prank funny in the least. I see a lawsuit in his future...

IS IT SCI - FI ??!!

 

IS IT HORROR??!!

 

I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT SURE IS WEIRD!

 

(and the grade ain't too shabby, either!)

OVERSTREET - "Giant Eyeball Story."

Sure enough there's a Giant Eyeball. Here it is in the last panel -

 

[precodekeith]

That story is simply . Thanks for the post, Scrooge!

[precodekeith]

By now this title had dropped the "planet" logo for the more sinister "skull" version. This one contains the great "They Crawl By Night" story by Wolverton. I think it has been reprinted somewhere by now, anybody care to share a reprint page or two scan? I don't want to subject my copy to any further indignities of my scanner...

Hey! Check out the dude for the "Bwana Brown" yarn! Look familiar to anyone?! I think it's our boy from the "flaming poo" story in JiM. This panel has no context at all to the Bwana Brown story inside.

Must have been nice to have been collecting back in the day when these sold for $1 as back issues!

Of course, it would be nice if the "$1" wasn't written in grease pen on the front cover.

[precodekeith]

One of the better "one-eyed monster" covers....

In my early collecting days(the late seventies), these Atlas books and most pre-code non EC horror could be had for about a buck or two a book in low grade. Those were the days!

You have my eternal envy!

 

Were you buying pre-code horror then? If so, do you still have the books?

[precodekeith]

"From Under the Earth" was a better choice of title than the original working title: "Frumunda Cheese Attacks!"

I'll post this in the marketplace as well, but I wanted to ask here if anyone had any pre-code horror that they would like to trade for other GA or other PCH?

 

PM me!
