Hardest to find classic pre-code crime or horror cover?

[BOOT]

This isn't super rare or "classic" but you don't seem to see too many copies...

I agree!

 

I used to own this copy, probably should have kept it:

You have one AWESOME collection ~ here I thought you were just a GA Superhero type of guy. Can I come over with some pizza and browse through your Smithsonian version of Comic Goodness?

[Bo_Hogg]

Rare as you can possibly get.

That makes two of us. My old book!

 

Great stories in that book.

I would say all three of these are tough for it took quite a few years to put them together.The Punches are from 1944 and 45 with the Dynamic coming in at 1944 so

i would say they are pretty early precode if not the first to appear on stands.

 

 

Super cool!

[Ltpink2002]

Is this one still hard to find or is it that owners aren't letting go of their copies?

 

 

Killer copy!

Took me a looong time to get this one;

Love this book! I've said it before that this cover has everything going on and those severed heads just top it off! Nice pickup fifties!

[Scrooge]

+1 Very nice

I had to be patient for these. Maybe not rare but not exactly growing on trees either?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think these Atlas books are probably in the same boat as Blue Bolt #105. Collectors don't like kicking them out of their collections to often.

And this Harvey seems a great deal harder to find than I remember it was a decade or so ago.

 

Another victim of collector lust?

That menace 5 is a beauty. I would agree it is one you don't see come up for sale often and never in grade.

I like that BB very much, but I like zombies and pretty girls more.

 

 

One of my top five all time favorites. Elias at his best (and he did a bunch of great covers).

Beautiful run of books!

The famed "Zombie Kiss" cover!

This book should have broken out by now!

I remember buying a copy of that book way back because of that great cover - never thought it would appreciate the way it has, although I'm not that surprised...

Collector lust and lots of Misfits fans, apparently.

Warren Kremer designed all of the late Harvey horror covers and drew all of the ones not signed by Elias.
