The Treasure Hunters Removed The Ruby Eye From The Temple, But Now The Horrible Hex Must Be Fulfilled, And A Plethora Of Human Skulls Adorn The Statue's Necklace To Tip Off The Greedy Explorers That It Wasn't Safe To Plunder The Tomb. Top Notch Cover By The Masterful Maurice Whitman, And The Haunting Lead Story "Satan Owned His Soul" With An Evil Hangman Also Makes It A Must-Have For Any Devil Story Fan. Other Stories Include "Pilot's Revenge", With Ghosts, And "Phantoms From The Sea", And "Second Life". Thus, It Is Crucial To Any Pre-Code Horror Collector; But It Is One Of The Real Toughies, ~ Downright Rare In Any Grade Above 4.0, So Don't Take This Chance To Score An Authentic Unrestored Mid-Grade Example Lightly, Or You Could End Up With A Humiliating Facsimile Replica Instead. The Pre-Code Horror Craze Was In Full Swing So It's Got The Ubiquitous Lurid Content Including Monsters, Gore, Cheesecake And/Or 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 already 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 stellar for the grade. It's been MANY years since a copy finer than this surfaced, in any grade, besides the Northford Pedigree copy that sold for $5.5K in 2021. (So don't waste away the decades searching for a copy that surpasses this one...and even if you locate & pay thou$ands for one that grades a bit higher, it may not even look THIS nice, from the epic FRONT!) The classic front cover has a flat clean bold look about it; 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 Satan-Story fan or Cheesecake fiend or collector of classic pre-code Good Girl Art comics. MATERIAL LIKE THIS SPOTLIGHTING ICONIC THEMES OF CINEMA, TELEVISION, POP CULTURE AND LITERATURE NEVER LOSES APPEAL. This sought-after classic cover will be carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery.
