I'm pumped up about three books that I bought recently. Sorry for the lame pictures.... I don't have a scanner. These aren't super high-grade like many of the museum pieces that I've seen here recently on the boards, but for what they are, Farrell pre-code horror, the condition is stellar. They all belonged to a single collector who spent many, many years putting togeter an Ajax/Farrell collection. One reason I am very excited to have these books is that they are in very similar condition with vibrant colors and good page quality. Each has a cover crease, but not much in the way of edge tears, chipping or chunks. It's very difficult to put together a nice run, and unless you're a multi-millionaire, you have to go for books that are less than NM to do so. And that means finding books with similar defects and appeal. The collector of these books did an admirable job.

 

The first book is Haunted Thrills #5 with what I consider to be a classic skull cover. I love this one...

That is an amazing cover!   The green skull with the Red background.   This one is getting added to the want list.

Not sure what I was buying in 2004, but it definitely wasn't as cool as that.

Just got in a copy of Weird Mysteries 1, which completes my run, which I posted in the Undead Thread, Pre Code Horror.

LOL, the publishers of horror comics have ONE demand that all covers must meet, which is to have women's breasts displayed PROMINENTLY. I thought these were only sold to kids???
