Scarce Horror: This Mag Is Haunted! This Auction Includes: LOT OF 1 VINTAGE COMIC BOOK: THIS MAGAZINE IS HAUNTED #20 In Attractive Unrestored Shape. This Was The September, 1954, Supernatural-Themed Comic From Charlton Comics, Which Was Edited At That Time By Al Fago. Scarce But Increasingly Sought-After Issue, Partly Due To The Gruesome Cover Depicting A Walking Dead Zombie Starting To Bite The Neck Of The Hapless Man, Oblivious To The Raging Inferno That Burns Around Them. This Shocker Features Grisly Lurid Content Including The Gripping Lead Story By The Respected Dick Ayers, "The Monument", Which Any Hunchback of Notre Dame Fan Would Love. This Tough Penultimate Issue Includes Top Notch Art Throughout, Including Work By The Underrated Steve Kirkel In The Ghastly Classic, "The Curse Of The Odyssey". A Memorable Occult Tale Is "Stand-In For Death", By The Legendary Bernard Baily, About A Scurrilous Thief Who Finds Karma Awaits Him. The Finale Is The Haunting "Quest Of The Beyond" Tale, About What Happens When You Try To Outsmart Satan Himself, By Bill Molno. The Pre-Code Horror Craze Was In At Its Apex So It's Got The Ubiquitous Salacious Content Including Gore And Monsters And The Devil Plus Ghouls And/Or Good Girl Art And Graphic Violence And Supernatural Themes. THE GREAT HORROR COVERS OF THE FIFTIES ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED BY NOVICE COLLECTORS, BUT MANY HAVE BECOME EXPENSIVE IN RECENT YEARS, AND OTHERS LIKE THIS PROBABLY WON'T REMAIN AFFORDABLE FOR MUCH LONGER, SO DON'T MISS THIS FLEETING OPPORTUNITY. The Horror, Shock And Supernatural Themes Never Go Out Of Style! This hails from a dark, dry, pet-free, non-smoking, climate-controlled environment. It is complete, it's all attached, and supple, and very presentable . There are the requisite bumps and dings, and some areas where the gloss is subdued, and the pages inside are not white but are cream colored and a bit toned at the edges. It presents well but does have a vertical reading crease along the spine. The back cover is flat, untorn and uncreased, but there is moderate soiling and smudges. Please see all of the photographs, as you can see the condition well. This will be carefully packaged very thoroughly to ensure safe delivery. SCARCE UNRESTORED PRE-CODE HORROR COMIC.
