Beschreibung:

Fair/Good (1.5). Cover loose from book, spine ends nicked, a few short spine splits, creasing, a few small edge chips. If not for the loose cover, would grade 3.5. Cream pages with light tan edges. Art by uncredited Iger Shop talent. Edited by Ruth Roche. Includes full-page ad for Ajax-Farrell's full line of horror mags, including "ghost" titles Dark Shadows, Dark Journey, Bewitched, Strange, and Suspooks. "Haunted Thrills #2 contains a house ad which promotes five non-existent titles... These comics may have been on the Ajax drawing board but they never came into being...Thank Heaven a 'horror' comic named SUSPOOKS was never inflicted upon the world!" — George Suarez, Tales To Terrible To Tell #4. NEC: 1991-92, p. 27. Overstreet says "L.B. Cole art," but we don't see it and Grand Comics Database is mum. Smalltown America is menaced by a tentacled terror with "Ugh — Black blood!" The creature spreads its long arms everywhere, leaving no neighborhood safe from its unwelcome presence. Desperate to curb the monster's predations, the President orders a nuclear strike, and the town and its inhabitants are wiped off the map. An unintentional allegory for white flight, urban renewal, the Tulsa Massacre? A deluxe limited edition of 12 hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a small number of softcovers. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $40, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Eight of the 12 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now. To order, contact [email protected] . Consignments welcome for PBA's Spring 2022 Comic Book sale. Top prices for Pre-Code Horror, Golden Age, Silver Age, original art and ephemera.
