retrocomics Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 PCH fans have plenty of wonderful covers to celebrate. Let's show off the poorly excuted attempts. Everyone will agree or disagree because different strokes and all. Here's one I despise szav and KCOComics 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Jayman Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 There's actually not too many that I don't like, in fact I like 'em all really! Just some more or waaay more than others. That said, this one is a bit on the weak side of scare...or disturbingly creepy. It could go either way! Link to post Share on other sites

I'm more scared of what his other hand is doing behind all of those buildings. Link to post Share on other sites

That's a good, bad one. Always makes me think of Frosty the snowman melted and is back for revenge. Link to post Share on other sites
Scrooge Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I've never cared for this one. Neither the girl's posture nor the monster's face and design do it for me. Still I have a copy ... Link to post Share on other sites

retrocomics Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 This title is full of stinkers, covers and stories both, but here is one of the worst. Link to post Share on other sites
EC ed Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) I nominate this as one of the lamest horror covers referenced in SOTI... The monsters just look ludicrous...what is that hairy thing in the top left? The devil in the bottom left looks like some guy in a halloween mask. Above him, is that a malnourished yeti? And where's that skeleton hand grabbing her leg coming from...the skeleton is on the other side...the skeleton hand is coming from the yeti. Why does the yeti have a skeleton hand? And why not...might as well throw a spider web in the background for good measure. Edited July 30, 2017 by edowens71 Link to post Share on other sites

Jayman Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 This one was included in a lot won on Heritage years ago. I was only really after one book in the lot. Just a silly cover! Link to post Share on other sites
szav Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Seeing all this garbage really has a way of making someone relatively new to the genre appreciate the actual classics.... Link to post Share on other sites
