CGC certified: G/VG (3.0). Off-white pages. Cover: L.B. Cole. Art: Wally Wood, Ken Battefield? Overstreet: "Acid-in-face story; hanging cover." GPAnalysis: A 3.0 sold for $384 in May 2021; a 3.5 sold for $576 in June 2021. L.B. Cole's cover one-upped Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" with a spectral horse, a headless rider, and a hanged man in the background for good measure. Pre-Code publishers freely borrowed the trappings of classic horror stories, possibly to lend a veneer of literary respectability to their sordid output. Dr. Wertham sneered at these bastardized attempts, claiming that "Many children nowadays do not know what the word 'classic' means; they think it means a 'classics' comic book.... I have yet to see a child who was influenced to read 'classics' or 'famous authors' in the original by reading them in comic-book versions." — Seduction of the Innocent, p. 142. 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.

Find out why PBA is the new fan-fave of comics auctioneers. "This is some of the best commentary I've yet seen on the quality of the content of comic books... Priceless." — R. Crumb.
