I agree with this. I hate the word, but this is my “grail”. Say, if all comics were worth a dime. This would be my choice.

How timely and apropos as Heritage has a copy of this book coming up in their Sunday Auction ending in only a few hours from now:  

https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/horror/ghostly-weird-stories-122-star-publications-1954-cgc-vg-fn-50-off-white-pages/a/122220-15312.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyTrackedLots-101116

This CGC 5.0 copy sold for $4,320.

I like the notation in the auction: "Overstreet 2021 VG 4.0 value = $194; FN 6.0 value = $291." Hey, no hurry, guys.

With taxes, that's $4717. What, 22 times Guide seems unreasonable to you?

I’m the crazy doofus who bought it. I’ve got a nice, intimate little gathering of LB Coles started

Excellent!

Marc Swayze

Jack Binder has 3 or 4 contenders, but this one gets my vote

Bill Vigoda

I only recently realized how cool the Mary Marvel covers were. They are just so whimsical and fun

A true masterpiece in my book

 

[Randall Dowling]

Surprised this book hasn't shown up as the best LB Cole cover.  I've always considered it to be the peak of his work.  For me, it's Cole's Cinderella Love 25 (which is also conspicuously absent).

And this is Marc Swayze's masterpiece to me:

And I think this is Hal Foster on the cover, in which case, this is his best "comic book" cover, IMO

LOL!  Great minds think alike, at the same time, apparently.  That's a very pretty book!

I can’t let this thread go on without this from Baker

I know this is not a golden age comic, but it is clearly an artist’s masterpiece.

For me, this is Joe Simon’s masterpiece.

Dang, Rick!  You're bringing the heat, tonight!

Schomburg is going to be tough to nail down, but I'm going with Pickle Hitler.

Not mine
