CGC certified: Fair (1.0). Cream to off-white. Spine of cover completely split and cover detached. Cover: Bill Everett. Stories and art: Stan Lee, Joe Maneely, Harry Anderson, Bill Woromay, others. GPAnalysis: No results in this grade. Closest result is a 2.5 that sold for $115 in 2018. Classic Everett cover: "KILL CLOWN, KILL!" An early instance of the killer-clown motif, decades before coulrophobia (abnormal fear of clowns) became cool. The clinical treatment for coulrophobia is said to include exposure therapy, in which the patient first visualizes clowns, then views pictures of them, and then meets an actual clown. In a sense, pre-Code horror comics served a similar function, allowing 1950s kids to explore their anxieties in a safe, controlled context — the literary equivalent of a carnival thrill-ride. A limited edition of 150 softcover and 15 hardcover catalogues is available. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $30, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Ten of the 15 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now. To order, contact [email protected] . Consignments welcome for PBA's December 2021 Comic Book sale. Top prices for Pre-Code Horror, Golden Age, Silver Age, original art and ephemera.
