...and with the footsteps of the coming Code approaching, Chamber of Chills is reduced to Chamber of Clues.... sorry.gif

Chamber of Clues from which the cover artist was locked out because he had none when he laid out the speech balloons. The girl's caption is all wrong (to me). But heck, it adds drama.

 

And PCKeith I agree that the previous one does not hold a candle to a nice Elias cover. Despite what he later said that he stopped doing horror after talking to his son and asking him what he thought, considering what he produced, I can't see how he couldn't have had fun creating some of these "shocking" covers (see CoC # 8).

 

So what series is next popcorn.gif

I've said it before, I'll say it again. ACG gets little respect from a lot of horror collectors. However, there are some real ACG gems out there, and this IS one of them. Looks like their foray to break into the EC-style of more intense, graphic horror. Too bad they didn't do more...

Sterling - Don't worry about the pre-code stuff, ya don't want it! Just stick to the BA material. 27_laughing.gifhi.gif

 

Zan - Yeah, they were going overboard with the adjectives, weren't they? "Impact" seems to be out of place with the rest, somehow. confused-smiley-013.gif

"Several EC Craig swipes" - OSG

 

Nobody bothered to bump this thread during the Friday night bump fest!? No love for the PCH around here, I guess... sorry.gif

 

Cool Hy Fleishman cover. I like how the cop skeleton is in command of a couple hell hounds...

Oh yeah, baby! EERIE #1... hail.gif

 

OK, OK, it's "only" the #1 from 1951. Still, I love this cover. It may not be as good as the FIRST #1, but man, the colors... insane.gif
