Suspooks?  Horror-Crime maybe?  To compete with Police Thrills?

The three titles Ajax-Farrell had going were Voodoo, Haunted Thrills, and Fantastic Fears.  The other four titles were never published.

And “Strange” may be referring to Strange Fantasy as well, as the logo is the same.

That's a valid point, and to add, I noticed that one of the books in RM's sales thread was for "Strange", with the first page having an obvious Igor House artwork.  I looked online, and sure enough, they did a 1957 post code series with that title, for a half dozen or so issues.

The Unseen collection completed, I had been looking for a copy of issue 12 for sometime to finish the run after being outbid on ebay a few times I found a low grade copy on

My Comic shop. So after probably 30 years I have completed the 15 issue run of the Unseen!. Enjoy...

Congrats!! Great title to complete- you gonna lay em all out and give us a group pic?
I've been one issue away from completing a run of a Cole title for years, and I just received notice that a book is available- but the guy knows how much I want it... waiting for his price...

Congrats on completing the run. 12 is one of my favorite issues!

One of the best logos and titles of a pre code horror title!

I probably bid against you at some point in trying to get a copy of this book. Your copy looks real nice!

Honestly, with the housing market the way it is I think this is the only way I might be able to afford to buy something. Sure, you get a monster, but you also get a pool AND a built in security system. Value!

Mine was part of a board deal from an OO collection that included this book also.

I'll see that run of Unseen and raise you Out of the Shadows and Adventures into Darkness as well. All, very fine PCH fare!

I'll see your Adventures Into Darkness run, and raise you a Haunted Thrills run.

Different publisher. Let's not start this up again...

I didn't mention that by getting the Unseen 12 it completed my Standard Horror run, I'd completed Out of the Shadows and Adventures into darkness probably 20 years ago.

LOL, I didn't have a full run of Out Of The Shadows (missing #13), so threw in another publisher's title.
