Absolutely!!! In fact, I would've bought a second copy at the OAFcon last year just to get Roger's signature, but the copies on hand were sold out the first day and Roger didn't have any spares.  I'm pretty sure Roger will be back this year and I'll correct that oversight on my part.

Pre Pre-Code Covers like this one deserve their own Thread considering how popular the genre is now. There are a few noteworthy Super hero (Our Flag 5) and pre hero ones (Keen Detective #9) that fit the bill. I see the new OSPG notes this one as 'Classic Horror Bondage Killer Dwarf' cover. I couldn't agree more.

2018/19 OSPG $181 in 2.0  (9 copies on the Census)

Let's not get carried away.  You're absolutely right that pre-code horror is hot, but don'cha think there are enough genre, title, publisher, pedigree, double cover, triple cover, banner color, bondage and breast measurement threads in Gold already? OK, I made that last one up, but have you considered the possibility that starting a pre-code killer dwarf thread might come up short?

Clever joke!

No, i meant just examples of genuine 'Horror' covers before the 'official' Pre Code genre began.

But you're right:  They can just be shared in one of the many frequently bumped Pre code themed Threads already

Ahhh yeah! That would have certianly got my dime a lot faster than some dopey Superman or Archie comic back in the day. Besides, I collect Midget, horror bondage covers.

Gawd, Jughead has never been rendered so accurately!  

I think he is much too handsome there.

I'm dubious, ...are you sure Robot Man isn't a spambot.

I'm trying to imagine Jughead without glasses... 

OK, that's a mental image I can't unsee!

Killer copy of a killer book C!!!!!! These Harvey film strip covers are already superb and tough as nails but this one is just awesome!! would love to own a copy someday!!

Speaking of the spooky vertically challenged creature on the cover has anyone ever seen the horror fantasy movie Troll that came out in the mid 80s? Kind of a strange similarity there I think it’s the dark offset eyes MAN that movie creeped me out when I was little haha!!

Champ Comics 22 there are only 4 total copies of this one on the census. Another classic relatively hard to find Harvey film strip issue that has the hero horror mashup that myself as well as few other boardies have come to seek out and love!! wink wink @sagii

Absolutely fits the bill Gino! Hooded skull faced men, woman in red, dungeon like dwellings. The Harvey filmstrip covers are truly TOUGH, as boardies like you, @Robot Man, myself and others who actively watch for them can attest to. There are a handful i have seen for sale in years!

Smart grab!

Not sure on OSPG prices since I don’t have it with me, so Iadded the gpa.

I bid up the 6.0 copy but still think it was a bargain.  

I didn’t know about the 7.5 one last month since I love mine and stopped looking, but looks like there’s more than just 2 people interested.  I might’ve bid on it if I was aware.  

Not sure if this helps at all.

Speaking of Dwarfs and such, here's a fun cover. 10 universal and 1 restored. Golem, Solomon, Hulk?

Looks like a Paul Gattuso cover. His shocked women in peril and Black Dwarf covers are very distinctive.

HIT Comics #23 (10 copies in census, 8 universal grade). This is an old label, universal 8.0 copy (OW/W), $109 in 2.0 when last checked. Not sure about the art cred. on this one (looks like Eisner more than Crandall or perhaps a collaboration), great cover though...

With the red cloak, haircut & mustache you'd think you were looking at Dr. Strange!

True, but Stormy needs to work on the lower part of that costume.  Short shorts, white pull-up athletic socks, and black square-toed dress shoes.
