Brian48 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Those Savage Swords, especially the first thirty or forty issues, were awesome! Yeah. I've been reading through the run and I've noticed as the series gradually declined in quality over time with the effort just not being the same. One of the things I always loved about SSOC was the painted covers. By the end of series, they were using drawn covers, even for the important final issue. As nice as some of the drawn covers were, they just weren't the same from the days of Boris, N. Adams, Norem, and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's the scarcity of them, but a handful of the last issues had some cool drawn/painted looking covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian48 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 LCS find. A real shame with the Savage Tales #1. If it wasn't for a small piece of the cover missing from the bottom, this is otherwise a very sharp copy with a strong binding and OW/W pages. Still, at $10, I think it's more than bargain. Certainly an upgrade to my other reader copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I don't own them, but . . . Amazing Stories, June, 1926 - Creepy #18, Jan., 1968 Interesting. I've seen these both before and assumed it was the same artwork used for the Creepy 18. But seeing them together I can see that the painting was totally redone. I do like the original better with the second serpent head in the lower right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
