Here is another one I got around my birthday right around when Covid hit. End of times and hell cover seemed to be fitting at the time... Great cover and one that is highly admired! Yes, obviously "recent" can be things you just got yesterday, but this thread I've followed from the start, is welcoming of cool precode books no matter when you got them. "Recent" is all relative with vintage books. fifties, Drkegg, Nic8612 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember feeling the same about wanting a copy of Crypt of Terror #17 when I was 14. I had just learned about EC and precode horror generally, and was all in -- wasn't until I was in my 30's that I did finally get a Crypt #17.

I'm a big Farrell fan, and this is possibly the best cover of the publisher's canon. I was one of the underbidders on your copy. What seems cheap now was more than I was willing to pay back then. I still don’t have a copy and with today’s prices I probably never will. I can’t decide which is my favorite Farrell, 5 or 6.

Good memory, as that was eight years ago. Superb copy of #5. The Iger Shop turned out so many great covers. originalisbest and lbcolefan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

originalisbest Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I always remember the slight embarrassment I felt when admitting to a fellow PCH fan that I had no copy of BCM #50 -- ah well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find yourself liking precode horror books, it's a great place to be. Read from the very first page or pick one at random -- it's fun to look back as it's gone on for many many years now.

Drkegg Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Another recent purchase of mine. Trying to collect this entire series and honestly I'm not too fussed about minor color touch on covers, especially for PCH books.

Seeking a second job might also be of help. originalisbest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
