IngelsFan Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 That Tormented is a classic-I'm surprised that cover doesn't get more attention. Might be because it's pretty scarce in grade! I've been looking for an upgrade to my vg/fn copy for only about a decade..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N e r V Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Another book I don't know if I should post in GA thread or here but here goes... Just a crazy cover with skeletons on it. I kept seeing copies on the boards so after a while I knew I needed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Illmannered Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 The Complete Mystery #1 is a recent addition, it's pretty difficult and a strange early PCH Stan Lee story.. Ive posted these on the other PCH thread... hope its ok on here also.. Those are amazing brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept seeing copies on the boards so after a while I knew I needed one. Well it is pre-code for sure. Definately a horror tinge. I've got mine in my horror box as well as books like these.

N e r V Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Both those books you posted (along with a few other books out there) are proof of the earlier (pre Eerie #1 in 1947) attempts at testing the waters of serious horror in comics. Maybe no one was publishing a regular horror comic yet but they were certainly starting to use the horror themes on a regular basis as you move through the 1940's. Your two examples are Harvey's early foray into the genre (sort of) and Roly Poly #14 has as good as a chopped off head as many 1950's examples would. Thanks for posting those.

Mr.Illmannered Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Bought a few more copies of these books because I am obviously mentally ill and have this insatiable need to own every possible copy of each issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngelsFan Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Funny that you brought up needing to own every copy of those two comics, because I've been wondering why I keep buying multiple copies of some books. It doesn't even matter if they are upgrades or not, it's like a compulsion. At least yours are considered classics-mine are 2nd tier but I love them! My obsessions are Beware 6, Chamber of Chills 23 (I had 5 at one point!), Mysterious Adventures 6, and Tomb of Terror 16. At least I can rationalize the ToT 16 because I own the cover...but no explanation why I have multiples of the others while not having gone after other more "classic" ones as aggressively.

originalisbest Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Bought a few more copies of these books because I am obviously mentally ill and have this insatiable need to own every possible copy of each issue. Eventually, I'd just like to own 1 of each. I certainly appreciate the desire to own more than one of a great thing, but for whatever reason I never desired to do that. Usually I look at a dupe (I have just a few) and wonder "what other book don't I have yet that I can turn this into?" I did see one individual with 6+ copies of Horrific #3 at the last Reed Chicago, so you're not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
