Psycho 4 VF+ 8.5 $50.  Right after Nightmare came out, they followed it up with Psycho.  Ken Kelly provides the cover, Tom Sutton does some writing under the pen name “David Cook”, and you get stories from Andru & Esposito, Marv Wolfman, Rich Buckler, Len Wein, Bruce Jones, and more.  Bill Everett provides a Heap piece for the back cover.  This is a square bound issue.  Whew.

Psycho 5 F/VF 7.0 $30.  I thought I had struck gold when I found this copy with the stunning Boris Vallejo cover.  It’s lovely from the front side, but has a dust or sun shadow running along the bottom of the white back cover.  Can anyone distinguish which it is, sun or dust?  In nearly 50 years of collecting, I’ve never quite figured it out.  Regardless, a beauty for the money.  Check out the interior ad for the unpublished Hell-Rider 3 when you get it.  SOLD TO JUSTJIMN

Psycho 8 F 6.0 $20 The fantastic one and only cover for Skywald by my personal favorite, Enric Torres-Prat.  The Skywald Horror Mood accredits the cover to Mirelles, but I can assure you, this is pure Enric.  At one point when I was trying to prove this out, I found the image deep in a gallery of Enric’s Spanish website.  The rendering of Toutain alone is enough to give it away, besides the spectacular woman in peril.  Nice front cover for the grade, the back cover brought it down.  SOLD TO JUSTJIMN

Psycho 12 VF 8.0 $40 The intended cover for Science Fiction Odyssey by Jeff Jones finally sees print on this issue.  The Heap story sees the him lose his s*#t as he eats a live cow in a train boxcar on his way to NYC, where he quickly kills some officers in Times Square, is lifted by helicopter then plunges down into the elevator shaft of the Empire State Building killing it’s occupants and wreaks havoc in the subway.  Holy…….  I can’t make this stuff up.  If anyone can figure out why Ernest Borgnine and Buster Crabbe are on this back cover, please enlighten me!  I have three copies to offer.  SOLD TO CHASINGKINGKIRBY

Psycho 15 8.0 VF $40.  Sweet Segrelles transformation cover on this issue that finally prints the story, “The 13 Dead Things” that we were promised a few issues ago.  There is another fill in the word balloons contest, and again, unfilled in, here’s your opportunity.  This is officially a Horror-Mood publication.   Dig that crazy back cover.  SOLD TO CHASINGKINGKIRBY

Psycho 16 VF/NM 9.0 $80.  Domingo Gomez (who I could have used more of) paints a lovely cover of “The Old Vampire Lady” with her clearly friendly pet giant bat.  I didn’t think I’d ever find a better copy than this.  SOLD TO JUSTJIMN

Psycho 18 F- 5.5 $10.  Everything that Wertham was warning you about on this classic puzzle cover with rats making off with this poor guy’s eyeball.  Fun stuff here, of course with a rat story, but just a good example of what made these mags so likeable.  Yet another word balloon contest.  Fingerprints are the main culprit on this book’s grade.  Sold to me via mail order as a VF.  That was wishful thinking.  SOLD TO JRBAXTER
