Is this from a L.B. Cole cover? If so, which comic is it? Thanks

Agree. Love this one for the design, expression and the under lighting on the werewolf’s face. And of course the colors!

I missed the boat (so far) on #111. Thought it was too goofy back when it was cheap... really love it now but not so cheap. On the list!

This 1981 book was my first price guide. I was fascinated by the LB Cole section in the front, even as a kid. Blew my young mind.

That’s exactly how I felt!

I can see how at first glance the expression might seem goofy. However, fans of vintage classic horror movies will recognize it as a common look used to thrill audiences!

Awesome point. I also think, at least in my case, I’m often looking at tiny photos on my phone... which do little justice to the colors and details and “feel” of the comic in-hand.

That’s what put Cole on the map. Redbeard introduced me to him a year or so before that came out. We were buying Cole books right and left then poof there went the prices and I mostly moved on. He cooled down in a few years and I was able to grab some more. Nowadays, pretty much forget about it. You can still find his crime and excellent funny animal books pretty reasonable but probably not for long.

One other example that comes to mind is Tor Johnson.

 Back in my hands after leaving me twice…  guess this is an example of “your comic finding you“ rather than the other way around.

I only have one LB Cole cover, so it is definitely my favorite!

 

Hey! That's my book!
