Nice 19! Don't have one but I do have an 11.

 

 

Great book Jayman! I can't believe I actually have a book that you don't have! Well, eventually you'll have to get yourself a DM #19. It's a classic!

[originalisbest]

I don't have issues 1, 2, or 23.

 

I had 23, but it was so lousy, including the cover artwork, that I sold it. I didn't figure 1 & 2 had gory enough stories, which is why I never got them.

 

 

 

 

 

Shameless plug; I have another copy of Dark Mysteries 5 listed on The Bay right now, along with issue 9 of The Thing...:wink:

 

 

LOVE your run, fifties! Congrats on it! I'm about 5 of these issues away from having the same. When I complete it one day, I'll post a group shot as well!

Great runs, and beautiful looking copies, too.

Thank you, gentlemen! What you see there was accumulated on eBay almost or entirely (I can't remember) from about 1998 to about 2007 or so.

Somebody should buy this. I have a nice one or I would in a second. Tough issue.

Great run fifties. This is one of my favorite PCH titles. Hey #1 and 2 have Woody covers. I couldn't pick so I just got'em all! My favorite is #13. Totally creepy! #19 gets all the love though. Guess I don't have to post my stuff...

Yeah, #10 is another big favorite of mine. I even like it better than Myster Mystery #12.

 

Because, however, I don't want to lose my "Collectinator" status, here's the full run of Worlds of Fear;

 

 

I'm sort of partial to the cover illus of issue 10, followed closely by #9.

here's a three issue run from PL comics, a very small fry publisher from the 50's, Weird Adventures 1-3. I assume fifties comics and robotman have these.

You're ahead of me on that run, Hap; I only have issues 2 & 3. The story, "Blood Vengeance", I posted in the Classic PCH Stories, as it's one of the goriest of the PCH tales.

[Hap Hazard]

you for sure need issue one, I call it the scary glove cover,

[fifties]

Just finished reading it at comicbookplus; the stories aren't bad, but it's simply a crime book.

[Hap Hazard]

how about one from premier comics,

Horror from the Tomb bought this from Ken Danker back in the late 90's precode horror comic boom

[Jayman]

One shots? I love one shots!

I can't believe I haven't noticed this Kinstler cover before. Great book.

Yes, the title didn't survive past the first issue, most likely due to the footsteps of the approaching CCA. They watered it down, but the next issue (Mysterious Stories) did have some decent pre-code reading in it, as did a few of the post code issues. I didn't collect them all, just a few;

 

 

Here's a splash page from Mysterious Stories 2;
