CGC certified: Good/VG (3.0). Off-white to white pages. Howard Nostrand cover and art. Manny Stallman and Bob Powell art. Grisly "human head bell clapper" cover by Howard Nostrand, who proves he's a great horror stylist in his own right when not swiping Jack Davis or Wally Wood. One of the hottest Harvey horror mags, increasingly rare in any condition. Interviewer: "How did you get the idea of combining the Davis shading style with the Wood type of brush? Nostrand: Well... actually the thing that makes it look like Woody's stuff is the large use of zipatone all over the place. He always went in for this business with the reflected light on one side... right down the middle you'd have a shadow.... [At Harvey Nostrand could swipe with impugnity] because nobody else knew what the hell I was doing. The clowns I worked for, they didn't know from [expletive]. I could give them anything."
