I have a lot more non-horror/crime examples but I don't want to derail fifties thread. Not minded by me. Very disturbing! originalisbest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo_7071 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 The first book in this thread is the most unsettling to me because it leaves the worst details to the viewer's imagination. This one is tame by comparison, but the expression on the hunchback's face creeps me out. lbcolefan and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fifties Posted July 15, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2018 From what I understand, Bill Ekgren had these depictions as paintings, and the comic publisher bought them, or the rights, to use as comic book covers. Ekgren later committed suicide. Here's two of mine; comicjack, Larryw7, porcupine48 and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry missed out on a copy in a recent Boards sale and said he’s been looking for one for like 15 years. I didn’t realize it was so scarce. Now it better not turn up on eBay or a Boards sale... Don't need to worry about that. This one's a keeper. porcupine48, Tri-Color Brian and originalisbest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that make him the oldest living comic book artist?

Popular Post KirbyJack Posted July 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2018 Not really disturbing, but I feel it’s a very underrated crime cover. 1950's war comics, Point Five, sagii and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
