The Undead Thread: Pre-Code Horror 21 21

[adamstrange]

Hey Jayman, thats a TALLLL order. Ditko's first cover, expensive & hard to find. I was so Happy to find a copy in fair for $50. Those 3 Ditko's are the NICEST I have ever seen! Congrats!!!!

 

All of those issues contain multiple outstanding Ditko pre-code horror stories. The cover/story for #12 depicts a new version of Cinderella where her sisters are vampires!

[Norrin_Radd]

What about #9? That's my favorite cover.

 

[adamstrange]

Very nice!!

[precodekeith]

WOOT!

[Norrin_Radd]

It's not mine. Just my favorite.

The last thing you want when you're sitting in a filthy, wet alley in a nice suit, sweating like a wildebeast is being harassed by three disembodied heads with their mouths sewn shut.

I agree - that can really put a crimp in your day.

They're heads...with their mouths sewn shut!

Grab a stick and hit some home runs!

Are there low grade copies of Thing #16?

 

Definitely - I'm pretty sure a collector friend picked up a VG copy on ebay for $40 or so.

 

Oh yeah, they are out there. Ironically, I think the lower grades are harder to come by than the high, due obviously to the "warehouse find." I picked one up about 6 years ago in G for a measly $10 & had no problem unloading it for twice that later down the road.

A pretty decent copy of a book I've wanted since I was much younger. Courtesy of Stephen Ritter.

That is a Maneely masterpiece!

[precodekeith]

Dr. Death! TMIH numero uno! This cover evokes some real cool mood IMO...

I wonder what other comics Dr. Death has appeared in.

The more Maneely work I see, the more I like his stuff.

Had to post this book here along with the pre-code thread. Just got her in the mail this morning. Love the colors in this book.
