The Undead Thread: Pre-Code Horror 21 21

[Jayman]

Not sure why you removed WOF 2. That's been generally regarded as 2nd toughest Fawcett.

 

Strange Terrors 4 has not been that difficult in my experience as I know of several copies in high grade.

 

WoF is on there now. That was my oversight.

 

Care to add some books to the list?!

 

I think your list is for books that are harder to find in any condition and that's not something that I can help much with.

 

Because you have 'em all...don't you?

 

And they're all peds

 

Word!

[Scrooge]

Another one if you guys don't mind -

Here are my opinions:

AIU # 2 - Not tough

AIU # 3 - Not tough

Beware # 10 - Not tough, coveted because of Frazetta

Black Cat # 50 - Not tough, plenty of Harveys out there, coveted cover

Blue Bolt Weird # 105 - considered

Blue Bolt Weird # 115 - Tough

Ghost comics #2 - considered

Horror Crimes # 1 - Does this book exist?? Never heard of it until Buck mentioned it.

Eerie #1- NOT TOUGH - coveted as 1st horror comic. With 38 slabbed copies & counting, this one is only a matter of $$

[shiverbones]

Good thoughts, a few I differ on:

Beware #10, yes Frazetta demand, still a tough book though

Blue Bolt #105 is tough, but not really horror

Weird Mysteries #2 - actually very common, I have had 3 myself, always available.

Blue Bolt #105 is tough, but not really horror

 

Good point. (thumbs u

[precodekeith]

Only 7 voters?

[precodekeith]

OK, wondering if it is appropriate now to officially pronounce the poll over?

[comic_lot]

I voted for:

 

Blue Bolt 115

Mister Mystery 12

Weird Mysteries 4

 

and would add the following, which are tougher in high grade:

 

Black Cat Mystery 45 (Colorama cover)

Mysterious Adventures 13

Witchcraft 2

 

I'm not actively looking for some of the books on the list, so don't have a good handle on how difficult they are.

[precodekeith]

Thanks for your input. (thumbs u

That may be the best one yet!

These are great, Scrooge!

[Norrin_Radd]

This Magazine is Haunted #3 is the one I've heard people on the boards say is the toughest.

 

 

How tough are issues of Clutching Hand?

[Scrooge]

I like 'em too. Lio never speaks à la Henry but it's always funny. Here's another one poking fun at another property -

[Scrooge]

I don't want over-kill but this one had me splurt soda right now. There's something about ninja that makes me laugh always ...

[Wrightson fan]

The Ninja kitten flipping in the last panel is hilarious......this strip is rather dark.....which means I like it.

So Venus #19 is the hardest book? Wonder who has one of those bad boys?

My personal experience was that Clutching Hand was not hard. BTW- Where ya been?
