CGC certified: VG- (3.5). Off-white pages. Cover: Tony Mortellaro? Art: Tony Mortellaro, Ed Robbins, Frank Frollo?, Hy Fleishman. GPAnalysis: No reported sales in this grade. A 4.0 sold for $432 in January 2020; PBA sold a CGC-slabbed 3.5 for $390 in October 2021. The spinach-hued corpse of a pop-eyed sailor man bursts through a porthole into a woman's cabin (and the readers' nightmares). The perverse image is rife with weird symbolism, with the porthole, sluice and corpse seemingly enacting a bizarro version of childbirth. This classic mag contains one of Stanley Morse's most outré stories, "Rat-Trap," in which a convict is eaten alive in his prison cell by a huge, bloated rat. "If I were to be consigned to a desert island and allowed only one Gillmor horror story... that story might well be Rat-Trap!" — George Suarez, Tales To Terrible To Tell #9. NEC: 1993, p. 17. Consignments welcome for PBA's Fall 2022 Comic Book sale. Pre-Code Horror, Golden Age and Silver Age comics, original art, vintage comic-related photos and ephemera sought.
