It Appears The Lumbering Zombie Has The Terrified Young Couple Running For Their Lives.

It's Rare In Nice Shape Like This So Don't Take This Chance To Score An Authentic Unrestored Stunner Lightly, Or You May End Up Settling For An Embarrassing Photocopy Replica Instead. The Pre-Code Horror Craze Was In Full Swing 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 Shock And Supernatural Themes Never Go Out Of Style! This hails from a dark, dry, smoke-free, climate-controlled environment. One look at those blazing reds and jet blacks along with that snowy-white logo will tell you that finding a more impressive example will be difficult, especially since just a few finer copies have ever come to market; and this one has desirable provenance. A protective crystal-clear mylar will be included for the next owner, along with a polypropylene dust-cover. Look at the images of the lovely front cover, which is why many fans seek a copy of this one, it looks nicer than you'd expect at this grade level, and sightings of finer examples are almost non-existent. Note the pictures have glare and reflections and give it a washed-out appearance while it looks bold and striking in person; It retains a substantial amount of luster and the eye appeal is astonishing for the grade. Crucial issue for any Walking Dead fan or collector of classic pre-code horror comics.
