I'm looking for opinions to add anything else. Call out any book not on here and why I might be interested in adding it. This is my current "goal" with key/scarce Warren books. I do have some of these already. After Hours #1 (1957/1st Warren Publication) Best of creepy paperback (1971)- novelty interest Blazing Combat #1 (1965)-scarce, key Blazing Combat Anthology (1978)-scarce?

Care to offer suggestions? *= Got at least one copy in some condition For some reason I’m not able to edit my original post anymore so I quoted it to update my list with the recent edition of Creepy #32 this week. I’ve also added some non Warren books to that list since first posting since some tie into the history and development of the Warren and horror mag lines.

But I think it has a lot of appeal to collectors because of the Frazetta cover and the Harlan Ellison story with Neal Adams art. And like many Warren mags, high grade copies are getting tougher to find... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N e r V Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 12 minutes ago, The Lions Den said: Ryan, I've been collecting Warren magazines since 1970. Why would you think this? I have a question I’d like to ask of some of the more knowledge collectors here. If I’m correct Creepy #32, Eerie #17 and Vampirella #3 are all known as scarce or harder to get than others. I remember someone noting that these where among the first to sell out in Warren’s back issue ads from the magazines. All bring a premium especially in grade. My question is do they actually deserve the premium based on actual scarcity or is it assumed scarcity going back to Overstreet listing them as such? I was thinking about this recently when someone on the boards asked about Conan #3 really being that much harder to find. My own experience is I have zero problem finding copies of any of those 3 Warren issues I listed just like Conan #3 in grade. Nada. I can actually say it’s been more difficult finding a number of other books. The prices for those 3 are all over the place too. Given that the magazine market moves a lot slower with sales vs comics values the main reason I haven’t been jumping up and down to get copies right away is that (to me) there are much harder books to find even if they don’t have the same high and really great fluctuations in prices. I love all 3 books covers but I’m just not seeing they are that hard to find in grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
