Theme collecting....I need help

[bye-migration]

Well after getting Haunt of Fear #15 it has inspired me to collect a theme. Im thinking of going after Funeral Home, Morgue, Mortician, Funeral type covers. So I have 2 so far In looking at the rest of the EC covers there is 3 more I can get by my standards. Do any of you guys have suggestions as to other companies (pre-code only) that fit the bill ? Pics would be awesome but a title and ish # will do as well. Thanks !

If you're looking for Golden Age covers with a casket or graveyard on the cover, you'll have many, many covers to choose from!

One of my favorites is Journey into Mystery 18

Nice book, I bet that one is hard to come by in nice condition.

You could browse through either of the two excellent pre-code horror threads here for some examples.

 

Gerber photo journals are a great source, too.

There are some more recent covers that match your death theme. This 1 is based on the House of Hammer UK film "Frankenstein created Woman". The babe on the right is supposed to be undead:

I was looking for more specifically a funeral type cover not just a graveyard scene or I would be broke before I started . The Journey that was posted is exactly what Im talkin' about. Thanks for the replies guys.

What about a Buried Alive theme? I think, that would be interesting.

It was the first thing that came to my mind when I read your post.
