Randall Dowling Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 The dog cover is by far the most valuable of all of those books, FYI. namisgr, ADAMANTIUM and The Lions Den 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I'm noticing, they're hard for me to look up, as I'm not too familiar and just seen the covers before. I flipped through and the frazetta seems the worst off as far as condition, and it's the one I really wanted to keep. The others are still Just probably better left raw but I may do a massive mag sub someday, although I only have about 5 raws of other mags besides these and mostly go for graded mags. Still 10 mags is a lot of coin for me to send in oakman29 and Randall Dowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colors are unbelievable! Those paintings scared the (bleep) out of me when I was little. I never knew they sold prints of them.

They offered it at cover price through their back issue ads for a month or two because of that, and if I recall correctly it disappeared from their back issue ads pretty quickly. So it definitely commands a premium as well. ADAMANTIUM and Randall Dowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 15 years ago, what got me looking at them again was my interest in Frazetta covers. I wasn't even aware that he had done 3 covers for National Lampoon and immediately set about finding them. As I searched for those, of course, I found the dog cover, the suntan cover, the spanking cover (which is my personal favorite and very tough in higher grades) and more and really enjoy those books immensely. Many of the earlier ones have Frazetta interiors, Adams interiors, and other great comic artists. Great pickups, all around!

Popular Post chevalmeow Posted February 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2021 Came across another nice copy of Creepy 16 and could not resist my hoarding instinct. Very nice with a few tiny color breaking nicks on the spine. Jayman, ThothAmon, oakman29 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jayman Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 I know these aren’t “really” considered comic magazines, but if you’ll indulge me a bit, here are some of my favorite covers... Always loved the Kong cover high up on Skull mountain fighting the pterodactyls! Gogos does an excellent Barnabas portrait with those red and green complimentary colors. Loved Harryhausen’s Mysterious Island as a kid and was surprised to learn there was a silent film serial decades before. Would love to see it one day. The green cover ain’t too shabby either!

Popular Post Jayman Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 I used to go bananas for the “Apes” films! People forget how innovative and ground breaking the makeup was back then. To have prosthetic masks that the actors could articulate in and show emotion was a game changer. chevalmeow, namisgr, Jasonmorris1000000 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jayman Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 A favorite b movie of mine; “The Hideous Sun Demon” got the cover spot on this issue. Another where Gogos knocked it out of the park! Love my Godzilla movies! Also this issue used to command a premium for some reason. Don’t think that’s the case anymore though. Ray Harryhausen.

Stevemmg Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Night Gallery really was the scariest thing on tv at the time, and the paintings were genuinely disturbing, but somehow oddly alluring. I didn’t realize that these prints existed. Thanks for sharing. oakman29 and jimjum12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no money for stuff like that as a kid but someone had to have bought some! They are fairly hard to find as these are the first I’ve ever come across. Even a web search turns up very limited info on these. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jayman Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 So I finally got to the end of my FM’s and updated my spreadsheet. While the later issues are still great, photo covers become more popular and cover movies such as Star Wars, Alien, Dragonslayer and Friday the 13th. At the end of the last box I had some random Warren mags, one I had forgotten about and used to be one of my favorites! I actually wanted to be a special effects makeup artist and tried to apprentice with one as a teen but it didn’t pan out. This book, D ick Smith’s Monster Make-Up Hand Book was my bible for a short time in my life! jimjum12, oakman29, conan09279 and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
