The Undead Thread: Pre-Code Horror 21 21

[Scrooge]

OK, it's been almost 24 hours since the poll started, so on with the posting! A whopping 5 votes with 4 yays & 1 nay.

 

I wonder who voted No? I guess I'll have to look for more contemporaneous Baker and look at the cover again.

 

So Keith, what's next

[precodekeith]

Frankly Scrooge, I'm downright surprised there weren't at least TWO votes of "no." Give it time, if the poll gets a few more hits we will have a better idea of how the horror masses really feel.

Yeah, I knew that would draw someone out of the woodwork.

[precodekeith]

On with the show...

 

Isn't it funny how over the years ACG seems to grow more & more on the horror collector? The trend seems to be that early stage horror collectors shun this stuff because it is not over the top gore or whatnot, but as you stay in the hobby over time the clean style of this publisher ( I mean that from a production standpoint, not a content one. ) really becomes attractive.

Just some recent pick-ups I thought I'd share!

More of a bright cover than one would expect for a horror comic but I love the creatures!

And of course the Paul Lynde looking host (as Pov would say) "The Mummy!"

 

[Jayman]

This is a real colorful cover if you look close enough!

Lots of purples and greens in the mans face, (soon to be all red!)

 

[precodekeith]

 

Nice books!

Jayman, the Beware Terror Tales #1 looks particularly sweet - can be very challenging to find a "fresh-looking" white cover book.

[precodekeith]

Nice 'Jekyl & Hyde' feel to it....

Ok, this kind of qualifies as horror. I was in a shop over the weekend and found this freak (aka Canadian).

 

Amazing Mysteries #35 Canadian

Cover is from Amazing Mysteries #32 (Marvel's 1st horror book according to OS) with the stories from AM #35. Couldn't pass it up for the price.

That's cool - as the other Canadian Timely's I've seen from this era have the Marvel logo replced by the Superior one.

 

One of my favorite pre-code horror covers by the way - even if it isn't that scary.

[Scrooge]

on the score - This one was already on my want list.

[precodekeith]

That is one cool pick-up!

[precodekeith]

My last 'Out of the Night.'

Side note: I didn't get to make it to the Mid-Ohio Con this year. All systems were go, but I opted out at the last minute because of other priorities. Wedding expenses, Christmas around the corner, and the baby coming in March simply are more important right now. If anyone went I'd like a report if possible. Last year the horror selection was the best I'd seen in awhile, but the pricing was high at most booths.

Is that Jerry in the background?

 

[rjpb]

[precodekeith]

woot! woot!

 

 

Another Jayman classic!

[precodekeith]

Is it me, or is the perspective just completely shot on this cover? Yikes!

Could be an old and really hilly graveyard.

[precodekeith]

Nah, not the Out of the Night cover, the Out of the Shadows cover I just posted.
