While I don't have this in hand yet (I will also share once it arrives) I was able to climb to the top of the pile for arguably one of my most favorite comic magazines in existence.

I have been searching for a true NM range copy of this book for well over 10 years.  It is one of the toughest MAD books to get in grade.

Kelly Freas absolutely produced one of the greatest MAD covers with this Headless Horseman classic in my opinion.  The fact that it is also a Halloween issue just frosts my cake.

Pacific Coast Pedigree; I have accomplished one of my main focused collecting goals; getting arguably one of the nicest presenting copies in existence of my favorite covers in the medium.  

I think some divine intervention stepped it to allow me to snag this copy.  As I saw some of the Pacific Coast copies around this (for some bizarre reason) go for 4-6x this one. (shrug)

Thanks Douglas; I can't wait to get it in hand.  At the moment I'm simply elated over the blood red moon. 

This copy seems to have the most intense color strike that I have seen so far.  Though pictures can lie but comparatively speaking...

Nice chunk of mags, cm!!  I’m cross posting this from the pulp thread in golden age sub.  It’s really more of a thin magazine.  Likey!

Very cool!  As a piper and someone of English/Irish/Scottish Heritage, I approve of this cover.  The bagpipes are drawn accurately too.  On the other hand, the pipers I know have a little more chest hair.

I am not a huge Boris fan, but I think vampire tales 4 is incredible

I missed the bidding but congrats on such a great buy. Definitely one of my favorites. When the original artwork sold on ha not long ago I had foolhardy dreams ... Here’s another of my favorite Mad covers. You know how Alfred E. feels about the Coronavirus.

I know what you mean.  I was preparing myself to place the largest bid I've ever placed in an auction; in my life for that Cover. And I did.  Yet; I still came up way under the final hammer strike. 

OA Covers unfortunately are in a different league than I can comfortably play in :sorry:

They used to be just out of my reach.  Now they’re way out of my reach.

The Pacific Coast copies are super nice, even when compared to other pedigrees...  :golfclap:
