Stevemmg Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hell-Rider 2 8.5 $70 The story continues here and concludes. It's a hoot looking at these stories again as Friederich throws every early '70's slang into this baby he can muster "Right on with the NOW super-hero" was just the beginning, baby! bounty_coder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevemmg Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Nightmare 3 9.0 $80 So here's the rundown: A cover by Boris, a story by Al Hewetson (if you don't know who this is, you'll find out), a story pencilled by Tom Sutton (must be right about the time he comes off of Vampirella), and Gerry Conway shows up. All the others are here also. SOLD TO TAYLOR G Edited February 8, 2020 by Stevemmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty_coder Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 24 minutes ago, Stevemmg said: Crime Machine 1 9.0 $150 This two issue series was a reprint anthology of '50's crime books with new covers by Tom Palmer. The first issue has two stories by Joe Kubert. Can you imagine the tight fit of the girl in the cake with two thugs with tommy guns? Happy birthday, Louie indeed. Really difficult to find in grade. The census has only two copies (1 9.0, 1 9.4) to date. Judging by their general mag grading, this copy would put you right in the ballpark if you wanted to have it graded. No real sales to judge by, so I've gone by my gut on the price. I've personally found this to be one of the more difficult Skywald's to get in grade. This one *might* be nicer than my personal copy. I'll need to sort that out later. This would be only the 2nd time I've seen a copy this nice in my years of looking around...

Stevemmg Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Sold to a man who knows his mags and of discerning taste. This one is a gem. It's really neck and neck with my personal copy, which I never thought I'd see another one close to. bounty_coder and Taylor G 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevemmg Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Nightmare 4 9.0 $80 This might be the first Friedrich work at Skywald, Everett, Sutton, Palmer etc. fill out another epic ish. Just so you know, there won't be any other copies of the mags at this point, just one of each. bounty_coder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevemmg Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Nightmare 5 8.0 $45 I do love this Boris underwater cover and maybe my favorite he did for the company. The usual suspects abound. This was my best copy for quite a long time.

Stevemmg Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Nightmare 6 9.0 $75 Good golly! Jeff Jones, Mike Kaluta, JERRY SIEGEL and Ernie Colon show up this issue. How is it that people don't know about all the great stuff in these mags? Small production slit at top edge.

Stevemmg Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Nightmare 7 8.0 $45 Really bold cover with bright and vibrant red border. Ramon Torrents arrives here this month.

Stevemmg Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Nightmare 9 8.5 $60 If you're a Warren collector, this Jose Miralles cover might look familiar to you. It was later repurposed as the cover for the final issue of Creepy, #145. I don't think that's chicken he's eating there.

Stevemmg Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Nightmare 20 7.5 $150 A really difficult book to grade and price. The front cover looks very 8.5, while the back cover looks more 6.5. I settled on calling it the average of the two. This first pro work by John Byrne mag seems to rarely trade above the fine or below range, so not much to go by on price.
