I feel old, which is not unexpected Swamp Thing has been my favorite comic since I was five years old. That was when I picked up my copy of Swamp Thing #13. I often wonder what it would have been like to experience the character being illustrated by Neal Adams. The Phantom Stranger #14 only leaves us guessing, with that incredible cover art. shiverbones and Jasonmorris1000000 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Not complaining though as some nice bronze horror. Very cool. Congratulations on a great collection of new acquisitions! icp004 1 Link to post Share on other sites

HighVoltage Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 There were some really nice House of Mysterys and House of Secrets in the most recent C-Link auction! Just curious if anyone managed to grab any?! A lot of copies with white pages. The Secrets of Haunted House #5 finished at a record price, I believe. It was a good-looking 9.6 copy. HOM & HOS continue to hold fairly strong prices in the 9.4+ grades with Wrightson & Adams covers/art. It seems like 9.2s & 9.0s are flatter & some bargains can be had. (Not counting HOS #92 of course) Just some observations of two of my favorite DC horror titles. Jayman and icp004 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Rip Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 On 11/6/2020 at 7:39 AM, HighVoltage said: I believe there is only one in the census. It sold in 2014 for $1,275 I don't think it's a pedigree copy. My guess: Somewhere around $2,000 now. But would it be the same, single 9.8 being re-sold? Or a new 9.8 coming to market? If it were the single 9.8 and buying conditions were right, it could do a little better. If it were a new 9.8, I'd guess somewhere between $1,750 and $2,000. (depending on registration & page quality) It's such a classic Wrightson cover. There has been a little more interest in some of the HOM and HOS books the past year or so. And the Wrightson covers seem to be getting most of the heat Edit/Side note: I would love to have the Pacific Coast copy of this book!!! I don't know of any other pedigrees identified for this book, but I'm sure there are some. Does anyone know about other Peds? The 9.8 is not a pedigree. I had a chance to see it in person but passed. I'm picky sometimes on centering and page quality. I've seen 9.6's in person that I thought were superior. Link to post Share on other sites
