Beschreibung:

VG (4.0). Spine lightly stressed and slightly rolled, several transverse tears to spine, top staple pulled, two diagonal creases to front cover slightly affecting pages, several small edge nicks, tiny paper loss to bottom right corner of front cover, small chip to open edge of back cover with matching smaller chip to last page, some creasing and soiling to back cover, small penciled "DX" to back cover. Cream pages. Stories and art by uncredited Iger Shop talent. Ruth Roche, editor. Overstreet: "Kamenesque art." GPAnalysis: A 4.0 sold for $350 in August 2019. Classic cover, the first of many Superior covers to feature the "blonde in red dress abducted by ghouls" motif. The stories are nightmarish and lurid, with bondage, torture, lingerie panels, singing ghosts, viking madonnas in pointy metal bustiers, Satanic pacts gone awry, and the dead carrying off the living to satisfy unholy cravings. Of special note is the splash panel to "The Blood Curse," featuring the first pre-Code instance of the "woman on medieval torture wheel" motif as seen on the covers to Mister Mystery #6 (July, 1952) and Dark Mysteries #19 (August, 1954). 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. Send inquiries to [email protected] . A limited edition of 100 softcover and 6 hardcover catalogues are available. 140 pages, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcovers $40, dust-jacketed hardcover with limitation plate $200. To order, contact [email protected] .
