One more book for tonight.  And it's one of my favorites.

Psycho 1, VF+ 8.5 (White Mountain Pedigree), A great looking book but it has an impression line on the cover that's not a crease but it's there in the light (and it's incredibly minor). Still a stunning copy with all the qualities one would expect from the White Mountain books. I purchased this from the dealer who bought the remainder of the collection including paperbacks and other assorted items.  Exceptionally tough book in higher grades.  $200

This is going to be short and sweet tonight.  I'm hoping to finish tomorrow night but some work obligations may keep me from doing so.  I'll post tomorrow afternoon what to expect in any case.  First up,

Eerie 91, NM 9.0, Great looking book with excellent colors and gloss but it has an imperceptible indentation on the cover (yes, it's the sort of thing that would press out). A remarkable cover by Don Maitz. $40  Sold to JRBaxter

Rampaging Hulk 3, NM- 9.2, A very solid copy of this early Hulk with only a few non-color breaking bends keeping it from grading higher.  I love the back cover on this book.  Was that really an issue, people faking like they could play musical instruments??!!  Great cover by Earl Norem, one of my favorite artists of the period.  $70

Creepy 16, VF 7.5-8.0, The classic cover by Frazetta for which the artwork was changed by Frank later (and not for the better).  This is one of the best covers that Frazetta ever did, in my opinion.  A very solid copy with some general wear and some non-color breaking bends on the back cover. Colors and gloss make for great eye appeal on this book.  For the record, my scanner is cruel and punishing on this book for some reason.  It looks much better in hand.  $75  Sold to jimjum12

Creepy 26, NM 9.4, This is a truly spectacular copy of a very tough black cover. Cover inks look wet, and the black cover is very unforgiving. Classic Basil Gogos cover.  $110  Sold to dover

Creepy 28, NM- 9.2, This book comes from a collection of Warrens that I call the “Nap Naval” collection due to the incredible freshness and clean copies throughout. Lovecraftian cover by Vic Prezio.  $90  Sold to Jayman

Creepy 139, NM- 9.2, All Alex Toth issue, if you haven't looked at the stories in this book, you really need to find the time. Alex Toth is, in my opinion, the greatest narrative storyteller in comic books. A very pretty copy with great colors and gloss. $60

Famous Monsters 43, NM 9.2-9.4, I've owned several copies of this book over the years and this is probably one of, if not, the best. Tight clean structure on an early issue. If this reminds you of an Eerie cover, there's a reason why. $100

Famous Monsters 55, VF+ 8.0, Very cool cover that may be the first copy of Famous Monsters that I ever saw as a kid.  I always liked the Land of the Giants so this was the cover for me!  Great looking book that would grade higher except for an odd knick on the top of the back cover. Otherwise, a very pretty copy. $35  Sold via PM
