Adventures into the Unknown #49 0

[Phill the Governor]

Was just on ebay and ran across THIS

Why so much? Is it considered a top 10 Golden Age camp cover?

Some of the Adventures into the Unknown have such awesome covers...look at the issue 63, for example (image from GCD):

I've always had a penchant for these, though sold all mine long ago. Ogden Whitney is underrated I think. Charming stories by Richard E. Hughes!

I agree with you about Whitney.  I used to look out for ACG books as a kid, largely because I admired his art, particularly the covers.  The stories were pretty good, but I thought on average they were a cut below the Marvel pre-hero stories (in those days we called them fantasy stories -- so, apparently, did Marvel, hence the title of the Fantasy Masterpieces reprint series).

Anyone else notice their stories,fantasy or horror ,always had a slight romantic angle to them?Vampires loving werewolves,aliens loving  humans..I even remember reading one about two male zombies(or mummies?) fighting over a female.

The detail is amazing on that cover made me get a copy also.I with you on Whitney as being underrated after seeing more of his work.

One of his pre-Code efforts.

They were romance comics disguised as fantasy/horror a lot of the time....
