The Undead Thread: Pre-Code Horror 21 21

[shiverbones]

Words you NEVER want to hear in a precode horror comic!

What a powerful trio of Harry Anderson covers!!

[adamstrange]

Been really slack in posting my books lately. Times were tight there for awhile and I went a long time without any purchases (actually still haven't bought since July!!), but I still had a backlog of scans I could have posted. A crime made even more heinous by the fact that October should be the official month of horror comics...

 

I've always thought this was a classic cover -- the horror interpretation of the battle of the sexes.

I second that! Very moody!

The way Anderson rendered the hands transparent on the JIUW #26 is amazing! (thumbs u

A great book and an interesting interpretation.

And, to end the week, some FA to GD/VG pre-code JIM readers that will soon be moving on to a new home.

I say keep 'em.

 

But send me the above 3 books.

Why dilute your collection with mid-grade specimens?

[precodekeith]

sorry, have to sully the streak with some low-grade goodness...

This is high grade relative to those JIM readers I just tossed up.

 

Nice book, Keith. Super-bright reds, and the stories are every bit as enjoyable as they would be in a NM+ specimen. And that's what comics are really all about.

It's been awhile since I've posted some Horror books so how about a few Orange rags from my vault that scream PreCode Halloween!!

 

Here we have a Mile High BEAUTY and two low grade BEASTS....

I love the seasonal theme of the SSS #3, Darth. Very appropriate for an October issue. And that AIT # 27 may be my favorite Atlas cover of all time. I've spent the last 40 years trying to track down a sharp copy.

I love the seasonal theme of the SSS #10, Darth. Very appropriate for an October issue. And that AIT # 27 may be my favorite Atlas cover of all time. I've spent the last 40 years trying to track down a sharp copy.

 

 

Dale has one in his latest sale thread. Don't think I've ever seen that book

I consider SSS #3 to be an undervalued PreCode cover and it is one of my favorites so I splurged for a nice copy. Not only is it beautifully drawn by George Evans, but it has a headless man running at a lady. Totally over the top!

 

I hear you! That AIT #27 is one tough book! I snagged this low grade a couple of weeks ago on ebay for like $37. Ironically, Mr. Roberts just posted one for sale over in the Sales Thread.

I am lost...are we talking about the SSS #3 with the Evans cover? Evans didn't do the cover to number SSS #10. I think is what you guys mean. Not trying to be obtuse.

[zzutak]

Right you are -- it's the SSS #3. (thumbs u
