Black Bat Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Ribtickler #7.Bought this cheap from October last year I think, and was going to sell it cheap, but man I just love this cover!!!! I’d love it more if it was the original Fox version, instead of an imprint/reprint or what ever you call it. So just sharing it now to drive up interest/demand for when I upgrade to that Fox…NFS!

Black Bat Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) TONIGHT'S GRAND FINALE WEIRD TALES NOV. 1949 & CHILLING TALES #13 4.0 (?) OW/WHere’s a pair of tantalizing twins fathered by the unmistakable Matt Fox. Here’s a predicament. What to do about this dope Chilling Tales #13? Using my magnifying glass I detected a subtle yet suspicious edge anomaly. Has this book been trimmed? Or badly cut & overhang?? Ah but then there is the staple situation- apparently the staples have been removed as there are extra staple holes. But they are so low on the spine! Could the staples have been removed from their original location, new staples added, then removed, then put back in the original location? Who would do such a thing? And why?? And what to make of this roughness along the entire back of the spine? Here's the conundrum- is this book a sneaky deal on a Blue label? Or a heart crushing PLOD trimmed/staples replaced? Do you feel lucky? Well do you punk? Conundrum aside, I don’t have to tell you how awesome this issue is do I? Do I?? I’ll just say this: floating rabid cannibalistic skull. Ok, this too: one armed giant phantom ghoul on a tear.AND- if you think you're ever gonna find anothert giant feet & spider splash, you're crazy!Ultimately, it’s simply a beautiful looking book, and it's Weird Tales sibling is structurally solid, with nice paper and lots of twisted illustrations. These are getting scarce, especially in such solid shape… Both For $378 PRICE REDUCED! NOW $348!!!
