Unseen #15 (CGC 7.0 with off-white to white pages) $925:news: SOLD per PM.

This cover reminds me of my barber after an all-nighter. This awesome Unseen #15 is one of the nicest high grades you will find. Such a great clean cover with no date stamps or other writing. There exist only 11 in census with only 2 graded higher- a 7.5 and an 8.5.  

The artist for this super cover has not been identified. Some believe the initials MR stand for Mike Roy, others believe (and the most likely cover artists) that the M is for Mort Meskin and the R is for George Roussos. Artists for the interior work have been identified as Mort Meskin, George Roussos, Mike Sekowsky, Mike Peppe and Rocco Mastroserio.

A recent sale on ComicLink had a CGC 4.0 with tape go for $501. Unseen #15 is one of the classics and the last issue of the Unseen run.

Web of Mystery #16 (CGC 8.0 with off-white to white pages) $825:news: SOLD per PM.

Ace Periodicals is known for some outstanding horror covers. Along with their sister publication, Baffling Mysteries, their books are among the most coveted Pre-Code Horror comics. The gruesome “Ulrik the Hangman” gives one a taste of their unique horror covers.

Web of Mystery #16 is another PCH with unknown cover artist. Interior art is by Bill Discount and Charles Nicholas. It has a superb clean cover with excellent centering and gorgeous black and red inks. This too is a very hard issue to find in high grade with one other copy in grade and only 2 graded higher at 8.5 and 9.2.
