I love the run as much as the next guy but there are some real clunkers for covers in the run. As there are bound to be out of 145 issues. For me, it's a steep drop in quality after issue 100 (with certain notable exceptions). But that's just me. I know you guys were talking about Creepy, but I have to throw this one out there. This is just embarrassing. Randall Dowling, The Lions Den and FoggyNelson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just embarrassing. Given that seems to be an interior panel from an interior story that's a reprint... I would just about believe it if they told me that something fell through and they had 15 minutes to create a cover from scratch. Which, if true, means this gets at least a slight point for TRYING to do something odd and eye-catching. It's still a complete flop, obviously, but it would get a point for trying to do something different in a hurry... that hot pink is a bold choice. Not a good one, mind you, but at least they were trying something unusual. That's as kind as I can be, that's a horrible cover.

Agree on all points. However this cover decision was made, I can tell you from first hand experience that when I walked into my local mom & pop variety store this issue hit me like a lighthouse beacon! You didn’t notice anything next to it on the rack. The cover story is actually pretty good and that solid color makes this one a toughy to find in high grade. oakman29 and ThothAmon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been tired of not being able to scan slabs in one pass. Previously I had to take two scans and stitch them together. While I was as accurate as I could be, it took time and was not the best representation of the book IMO. So without further ado, here are some mag slabs that I never posted before... Thanks for taking the time to scan these. They look amazing. Did you just get the scanner? Is it possible to buy a new scanner these days that can handle graded magazine size?

It was at my job just sitting in the corner not being used. I think it was an old recommended purchase from our IT Dept. that didn’t work out for whatever reason. I inquired about it and my boss said just take it! I just had to go to the Epson site and download Windows 10 drivers and viola!

Jayman Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Slightly OT, watched a random movie last night and a character had a country variety store that sold old comics along with toys. There was even a Cousin Eerie mask in one scene. I took these 2 pics. Any guess as to the movie? Edited November 24, 2020 by Jayman It was a horror movie of course!
