Point Five Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Shock Suspenstories #6, while not cheap per se, seems like one that's been undervalued for some time compared to other classic covers. piper and sacentaur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telerites Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I heard they were making a new high budget Captain Gallant of the Foreign Legion with Brad Pitt so buckle up to start cleaning those warehouses Seriously, I have wondered why the early ACG sci-fi and horror books don't get more love. Some do have intriguing covers. I don't collect them and at least the few issues I have read, the stories are pretty stiff. shuryuken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep undervalued ... as some Tomb of terror books , #15 still has room to grow in my opinion , Tomb of terror 3 , 13 and 16 are killer covers and they are still very cheap IMO Edited June 21, 2017 by Mijael.Levy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to know for sure, but I wouldn't think the print run was any different than Crime Suspenstories #22, which according to GPA currently sells for 4x-6x (!) the price of the SSS #6.

HA sold two file copies last year in 9.2 and 9.4 for around 5K. There seem to be many high-grade copies out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I've had it forever. I bought it with about 100 other silver age Archies from a now-defunct dealer in WA about 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrocomics Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 My top two movers would be World's of Fear 10 and Strange Suspense Stories 19. I think these two will explode soon. They rarely pop up but are still affordable for the moment when they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I would have to go with PCH poor step child, Crime comics. So many great covers. Heck, almost any of the first 25 or so CDNP are classic. Many bondage, torture, violent books every bit as good as PCH Also teen age books are starting to really take off. So many classic covers. They have been dirt cheap forever. sacentaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I think this book still has some growth. Early Frazetta, cool cover, great colors and try to find a decent copy. bounty_coder, The-Collector and atomised 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
