I got one but never read it.

From my original post over in the mag thread:

 

Here’s the first of the two digests that actually came out a year (1973) before the magazine. I started with the mags though since it is the appropriate thread. The first issue has a really nice Gray Morrow cover.

 

 

As one would assume, the inside contains text stories accompanied by spot illustrations. As you can tell from the list of authors on the cover the book includes stories by Harlan Ellison and Robert E. Howard. The spot illus. inside included some unidentified art and some nice surprises as in the following examples:

 

Brunner

That looks like the cover to Beware #1...

Same year, slightly similar with a Bill Everett cover too!

Cool...how were the stories?

I've got a few Haunt of Horror issues, but I haven't read any of them. They are from my neighbors collection that I'm helping him sell. They look pretty cool.

Q: This looks like a mini novel with the occasional illustration, is that right?

 

I was excited as well until I noticed the photos, because I thought this was an

actual thorough comic of the stories unstead of just the occasional rendering.

 

If I am wrong, please clarify.

The issues I've got are comic magazines. I think they all have a little mini story (a few pages in length) in the middle of each one of them. I think this is what the photos are of that Jayman posted.

 

Oops. Now that I looked at it again, I think you are right about that one since it's a comic digest.

To be honest I haven't read it as it's my only copy in HG and is very stiff to open.

But with authors like Ellison and Howard how bad could it be?

you are correct, its a digest with spot illos.
