Eerie 29 7.5 $16 An unusual cover by Kelly, but not as unusual as the original version before they modified it.  Look it up.  Do it.  Sutton, Cuti, Buckler and Saunders contribute.  I have four copies to offer tonight.  SOLD TO QTR MILEROCKET

It looks like the original painting was actually modified after the fact by Kelly himself as mentioned in the Heritage sale of the painting:

Ken Kelly Eerie #29 Cover Painting Original Art (Warren, 1970). If this painting looks a bit different from the published cover, that is because the artist, master painter Ken Kelly, altered it after the fact. The barbarian with the wild hair is gone, painted over with a calmer (but more sinister looking) bald swordsman. Even the background was changed. The woman in the foreground seems to be the only part that remains unchanged. The reverse side of the canvas wrapped board bears notations showing that this is indeed the original published cover, it has just been altered.

Eerie 31 9.0 $30  A really eye-catching cover to go with the story "The Alien Plague" by Billy Graham that is lots of fun, even though it is a knock off of an EC story.  Saunders, Sutton, Tallarico, DuBay are all here.  I have a selection of five copies for you tonight.  This is a dynamite glossy copy that I debated grading higher.  SOLD TO THIS IS WHO WE ARE

There is in fact yet another version of this painting, which I'll find for you later.

Wow, I guess Kelly was really not satisfied with this one if he did an original with two revisions.  Looking forward to seeing the pre-cover version!
