The Undead Thread: Pre-Code Horror 21 21

[Scrooge]

The trouble with experimenting with Ace, is there certainly are eyeball ripping out inducing issue sprinkled through the whole run.

 

See, AS, Shiver agrees with me. One guy (Cameron) does not a stable stable of staple artists make. I stand my ground

Haven't contributed in a while.

This issue claims to have a Cinderella parody story.

Can't wait to read it tonight!

 

 

Loved this cover so much after seeing it today, went of Ebay and found the only one and used BIN, book is on the way. Thank you for sharing, can't wait to see it.

Just Quoted myself, man am I a dweeb! Ok, so here is my copy came in the mail today, along with a couple other EC's, not ness. Horror, but EC's are all a little twisted. Enjoy!

I keep trying to keep this thread alive, love this genra of books. Come on people share with us.

Just arrived from Cliink today!

I have much love for ACE horror books!

The last of PL's "Weird Adventures" - # 3 from 1951. With covers like this, it is a shame they didn't keep publishing.

If memory serves correct, I think I bought this from Dale Roberts around 1994 or so at a tiny show in Dayton at a Holiday Inn. (Jubilee productions?)

A very nice cover indeed! Although it could be improved just a teensy bit if it was a gal on the operating table.

A little bit of swiping of the font from Weird Science as well. Still, I like PL Publishing -- one of the more interesting little publishers from the early 50s explosion.

 

It really is too bad they couldn't make it further than 1951 on the horror front. When you hear of PCH publishers closing shop, you kind of would presume it would be due to the CCA looming/arriving from '54 to '55. Not the case with PL. They simply couldn't get off the ground with the glut of horror on the stands in the '51-'52 explosion, from what I gather. Bummer.

How about a little Terror, L.B. Cole style!

[precodekeith]

Another "Weird Adventures" from 1951, this one from Ziff-Davis. (# 10 ). Completely different style from the PL versions.
