I hate the code :frustrated:

But it makes Pre-code all the sweeter :devil:

 

That dreaded code is what originally inspired me to hunt down these sweet PCH books we all love so much. When I first read up on the formation of the CCA, I had to see what was so bad in these horror and crime books that would cause such commotion. Now I know... :eek:

I need to drink from that well you've been drinking from! :)

Super sweet but a bit discouraging to see that even the Spokane copy of this book suffers the same printers crease and slight fading that other copies of this issue have.

Strictly speaking, it's not fading but rather a printing variation.

No argument here. I'm just not used to seeing a nice HG copy like Andy's. On lower grades I just assumed it was fading or possibly finger rubbing.

My copy for comparison. Note that printers crease in about the same location. I've seen this in every copy I've seen so far.

Very nice!

Wasn't this cover edited right before press? I seem to remember seeing the original version with a rotting corpse holding the shovel.

 

Yeah, I saw that original cover too. It looked better with the rotting head cover, but I think they were toning it down with the "Code" coming out soon.

 

This is the original planned cover. I agree, it would have been a lot cooler; still a great image as published tho.

Any idea who owns that original cover? That's amazing.
