LOT OF 1 VINTAGE COMIC BOOK: GHOST COMICS #10 CGC 5.5 With Cream To Off-White Pages And Bright Colors. The Traumatized Young Blonde In The Provocative Sheer Nightgown Does Appear To Be “Halfway To Hades”, As She’s Led Into A Bubbling Pool Of Lava By Her Wolfman Escort While A Procession Of Rotting Zombies Follows, Along With A Massive Intricately-Detailed Looming Skeleton And A Plethora Of Human Skulls To Complete The Ghastly Tableau. Top Notch Cheesecake Cover By The Masterful Maurice Whitman, And The Skeletons And Ghouls Make It A Must-Have For Any Walking Dead Fan While The Full-Figure Werewolf Depiction Means It’s Essential For Any Wolf Man Collector Or Admirer Of Lycanthropes/Werewolves. It Is Crucial To Any GGA Fan Or Pre-Code Horror Collector; But It Is One Of The Real Toughies, And Downright Rare In Any Grade Above 3.0, So Don’t Take This Chance To Score An Authentic Unrestored Mid-Grade Example Lightly, Or You May End Up Settling For An Embarrassing Photocopy Replica Instead. The Pre-Code Horror Craze Was At It’s Climax So It’s Got The Ubiquitous Lurid Content Including Gore And Cheesecake And Extreme Violence And Good Girl Art And Other Classic Elements Of The Gritty Early Fifties Comics. THIS HAD AN ORIGINAL PRICE OF TEN CENTS. The Horror And Good-Girl And Supernatural Themes Never Go Out Of Style! This hails from a dark, dry, smoke-free, climate-controlled environment. While it’s approaching seventy years old, you wouldn’t know it by looking at it in person because it still retains an amazing amount of luster and the eye appeal is truly impressive for the grade. An extremely rare public offering of a FN 6.0 in recent years displayed prominent chips off BOTH right front corners & didn’t hold a candle to this beauty, plus despite hailing from the renowned Black Cat Collection it had lesser paper quality than the FN- offered here; The only prior offering of a blue label CGC 6.0 had “tape on interior cover”, and just a single copy slightly above 6.0 has ever surfaced, with the last sighting a decade ago! So don’t waste away the decades searching for a mythical copy that’allegedly exceeds’ this one… The classic front cover has a flat clean bold look about it, but some mild perimeter soiling, toning and creasing to the back cover kept the overall grade down. Additionally, many copies have date stamps or distributor markings or other such detractors in the cover title, yet this one displays an unmolested stark yellow logo, while also boasting phenomenal gloss. Crucial issue for any Ghost collector or Lycan fan or Cheesecake-Cover fiend or collector of classic pre-code Good Girl Art comics.
