Hi guys - so I know this is really a Science Fiction title, but this last cover really seemed to be taking a turn to Horrorville.

Let's see...

Skeleton, coffin, female bondage, headlights!

 

The dagger in the ribs is a nice touch too! (thumbs u

[shiverbones]

cool book! I had one a while ago. If I remember correctly, there is some straight up horror inside.

Looks like the gun is about useless. Cool book.

I have to agree with that - beautiful books.

The Ditko cover is part of my collection and I have the Cole cover plus the Fox but all of them have been cleaned up by photoshop. The Everett cover was found on the boards and probably the Bailey cover too. I was just trying to keep the thread going with some of my favorites but now I have to search for artists with names that begin with G, H and I.

Unfortunatley this is not my book, (but it's on my want list!)

Hey Keith, it might be interesting to take another poll as in the first post of this thread to see how opinions may have changed after 3 years of being exposed to different horror titles and publishers. As can be seen with the results of the first poll, EC won by a landslide with Atlas and Ajax-Farrell making up 2nd and 3rd.

Oddly enough, ECs only popped up occasionally in this thread...

Hollingsworth...

 

STUNNING Copy! I have never owned this one, but always wanted it. How are the insides?

I am late in getting my own polls up & running, but would love to do the favorite company one again.

Grandenetti

 

 

That's a Whitman cover. Grandenetti just did some of the interior work.

You saw these before in another thread but I'll post 'em again for anyone who missed 'em.

 

The interior stories are very good but none are over the top with gore or violent scenes. The book is a “one shot” published by Avon that includes 5 stories with one being text. The first up is the cover story “City of the Living Dead!”

 

 

Second is “The Glistening Death” which seems familiar (maybe it’s been reprinted?)

 

 

Third story “The Witches Come at Midnight!” has great art in this splash!

 

 

The fourth story is “Death Has Many Tongues”

 

 

This story was neat as the Captain was a slave trader that was captured by the natives and cursed to have his murdered (slave) victims “sprout” from his arms. Here he is trying to cut them off. The poor fool; doesn’t he realize he’s in a horror story?

I do remember that now! Worth it for that single panel you posted
