I guess Web of Mystery #27 is the new Major Inapak, or at least Thing #16.

 

Cool cover though.

The juxtaposition of these two lines is priceless:

 

RARE

 

I have Multiple Copies Over 150

No, she is trying to recoil in disgust but she is struggling because of her bondage!

I recognize that look from when I ...err...nevermind.

Crazy, crazy price. Probably went to a guy who has been looking for 5+ years for the right copy, loves pre-code horror and Maurice Whitman art and was tired of this particular hole in his collection. Betting this guy saw the book and decided that, just this one time, he was going to bid to win even though it goes against his somewhat cheap nature because he knows he hasn't had many (any) shots at similar copies despite looking hard.

 

Just guessing. Pure speculation.

Oh snap. :applause:

 

Congrats Andy!

 

It looks like a killer copy; gotta be a bit better than Fine unless there's some sort of back cover issue.

Even Hollywood wouldn't fall for that story.

 

Must be some billionaire who has now entered the precode horror market. :kidaround:

Here's mine. Admittedly quite the rag, but at least I have one. I had always wanted to upgrade it, but the better copies just kept eluding me, always going for more than I was willing to pay, and now it looks like the "value" is permanently in the stratosphere.

Fifties recent pick up of issue one of Mysteries Weird and Strange got me to pull out some of my issues of that run, great stories in most issues coloring sometimes a little off but I always felt Superior's line of Horror comics were always fun to pick up and with the explosion of realized prices on Atlas books still affordable.
