Marty Mann Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 A nice one sold on E-bay not too long ago and someone posted a pretty solid copy recently (Jayman?). It is a doozy to find above VG/F. Yeah, 27 is hard in HG but this was the best I could find so far of this issue. Too bad about those vertical spine creases... mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 great books! I'm probably in the minority but count me in as a big fan of the 28 over the 27! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Mentallo Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Was able to find this for dirt cheap. I assume the cover story has a twist in the tale? (Wish Marvel would print more Atlas masterworks!} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Not sure as I haven't read these in years. Looking forward to getting these so I can check them out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifties Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I've always thought of JIUW as being the flagship of Atlas Comics, or at least of their Sci-Fi and later horror group. Although not recent purchases, I have a nice little collection of their pre and some post code output. These two were somewhat harder to find than most. Notice that the Science Fiction logo in the upper left corner of #6 was later replaced by the skull 'n crossbones, as shown on #13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIUW 13 has such a bizarre cover, and is a bear to find in high grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifties Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 What a great cover! How could you not pick this one off the newsstand back in the day and read about the "Horror House"! I'll tell you how...Those types of covers used to scare the daylights out of me when I saw them at the newstand, in the early '50's. But there was also the allure to open one up and look at the forbidden contents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
