Wanted a copy of this book for a while. Finally found one in my price range...

And the ghost was printed in blue -- 1951, Bill Ely.

 

Maybe the technique was much more common (esp 1950s DC) than I realized but I'm just noticing it recently.

I had the whole run of star spangles from 65 on (first robin ) back in the early 90's, and I actually found these issues to be the best reads of the run!

Here are 2 of my favorite Kirby Kovers.

BULLSEYE has spectacular covers - the colors just jump out and slap you in the head.

 

Its interesting how similar BULLSEYE's origin is with Kamandi - 15 years later.

 

Enjoy!

Bill

OK Jay, here it is...

 

There are very few PCH books that I have wanted for over 15 years, but never owned. Weird Mysteries #4, 5, Weird Tales of the Future #2, 3, Mister Mystery #12, Weird Chills #2, and this one. I am so happy to finally have found the right copy at the right price of this tough book.

I finally got a chance to spend some time reading this, and I have to say this contains the scariest pre code horror story I have ever seen! If you thought the Hanged man Story I posted before from SSFAW#2 was bad, you have to see "Man With the Broken Neck!" in this one. Holy cripes! Sid Check drew it and it is unrepentantly brutal. A man is wrongly sentenced to death & he vows he won't die, and he'll get the real perpetrators. The tone is beyond description, just terrifying! the panel where he finds the first bad guy & snaps his neck with a phone cord is just messed up. I wish I could scan this, but my copy is so fragile. I may try anyway... Holy cripes....
