Great mummy cover!

Love all the covers where they put his eyes and nose in the right place and concentrated on horror...

Thanks!! Yeah same problem here, I never see those in high grade... This issue also inspired me to start a "headless horseman" collection :cloud9:

That 18 is fierce, Jay. I keep starting, stopping, and re-starting on the horror issues.

Agreed. I feel like that needs some description as to the significance Frank#18. Overstreet notes "New origin, horror series begins" iss #17 before it notes "Last humor issue" ... humor?!

You guys see this one? Is it better than the GD+ it was described as or just doesn't come up very often. I see 4 bidders over $300 which is pretty darn strong.

Strange Suspense 19 is one of the tougher electric chair covers; that, plus the added appeal of Ditko, means it shows up on a lot of want lists. It's one that I'm after, but I'm gunning for a nicer copy than the one that you linked.
