The Undead Thread: Pre-Code Horror 21 21

[shiverbones]

great interior on that out of the shadows, I used to have that one. I like the cover a lot too...

[Buck Biggins]

I need to get a 14. Nice cover. Stories any good.

 

Buck, where did you pick those up? The Heritage auction a couple of Sundays ago or somewhere else? Sweet books by the way.....really sweet. I love the skeleton hanging limp on the right side of the 20....and the witch in the bottom right lower box. Atlas books are so much fun.

I see where Jay got his today....I'm still waiting for mine.

Yes and below guide.

Here are 2 pickups for me.

 

Love cemetery covers.

I enjoy the historical context of the Atlas books. Goodman and his boy Stan were always ready to grab onto whatever was currently popular.

"[The King and I] opened on Broadway in 1951 and was the fourth hit out of five collaborations for the team of Rogers and Hammerstein."

The wording on the tombstone most likely says "Memory"

But it almost reads "Here Lies Me Mom!"

 

 

Nice copy you have there, Mr. Jay. (thumbs u

 

Here's mine to wrap up my WEIRD MYSTERIES copies...

[Jayman]

Thanks Keith!

Here's my last Heritage pick-up.

Mmmmm...green mummy!

I was the underbidder.

I was the underbidder.

 

I paid too much, didn't I?

I wouldn't say that. Highest and only graded. Plus it presents really well.

 

I want nice complete sets of Adventures into Darkness and the Unseen series. So I had it in my sigjhts. I love the covers in both series.

Well worth the hunting! (thumbs u

(and the interior art & stories ain't so bad, neither!)

If you think you paid too much, I would gladly relieve you of it. I just trimmed my wantlist down to the 10 I most wanted right now and that Unseen mummy cover is number 9. I love my mummy! Awesome book.

I was really just Buck there since he was the underbidder.

What are your other 9 books?

btw: Happy Birthday!

This week's triple-header: Adventures Into Terror 4 (Edgar Church copy); Adventures Into Weird Worlds 25 (Petaluma copy); Spellbound 3 (one of my personal favorites). Enjoy.

 

 

 

 

[Jayman]

The Spellbound kind of goes hand in hand with Charlton's The Thing #15! (thumbs u

REALLY like the AiWW with that Mad Mamba a lot though!

[october]

The Mad Mamba cover rules! My first time seeing it!

[zzutak]

And I've really enjoyed browsing through all 200+ pages of this thread. I get the impression that everyone here really enjoys the genre, regardless of the technical grade of the specimens presented. And that is what "old-school" comic collecting was all about. Thanks!

I agree that most people here are just after eye-appeal. These can be tough books, they aren't like bronze marvels where a 9.2 is low grade!
