GHOST STORIES Volume 1 Collects #1-5, 1962-64. By John Stanley et al. Art by Gerald McCann, Ed Robbins & Frank Springer. Painted covers. This horror/supernatural anthology comic from Dell is a real blast from the past; the covers, the artwork and the dialogue seethes with that certain something that typifies the early 1960s. Featuring "The Door," one of the top twenty scariest horror stories as voted by awakeatmidnight.com, you'll discover a real treasure of chills in these long forgotten pages, from Aztec idols come to life, to British soldiers that are saved from the Germans by a tank squad that had been blown to smithereens two days earlier.

THE BEYOND Volume 5 Collects #21-25, 1953-54. Recommended. Penultimate volume of Ace’s excellent horror title and the first to appear in softcover.

Ghouls and cadavers, vampires and ghosts, beautiful gals threatened by a fate worse than — or including — death! Some superb work by Cameron, who at his best was as good as Frazetta in these issues!

By that point, he and his wife were far too old to handle the rigors of space travel. But their son Rex was young and fit and he piloted his parents' space ship back home.

BETTIE PAGE PHOTO PRINT SIGNED Signed by Bunny Yeager. Recommended. 11 X 14 Photo print directly from the negatives of Bunny Yeager. Beautiful depiction of Topless Bettie, signed by Bunny. Yeager met Bettie Page in 1954, and took most of the photographs of her that year. During their brief collaboration she took over 1,000 pictures of Page. We had a great relationship with Bunny for many years. She was a self-promoter, producing print sets using her archives, including many of Betty Page and other famous ladies. This is one that she made up at one time and we handled it for a while here. I don't think it was widely circulated, since I cannot find a single copy on the web right now. Published by Bunny Yeager, year unknown. Adult Material. Condition: Vey Fine/As New....More. Item Code: RBA20 11x14, b&w $150.00 |
