The National Institute for Literacy estimates that 32 million American adults are unable to read, which can contribute to chronic unemployment, low self-esteem, and a lower quality of available work.
When I read stuff like that ^^… I’m just astounded in today’s world the amount of people who can’t even read.
yep, 14 years since the first movie was released. Also, many people are in their own bubbles. One example for me, I was in a room with Garth Brooks for about an hour before I realized who he was. He even introduced himself to me. I only came to that realization when someone told me who he was ( the country singer) after I told my friend how nice the guy wearing the ball cap was.
Im open minded enough to believe that atheists don’t eat babies…
This cover did its job in creeping me the hell out.
It creeped me out too. It’s something I wouldn’t want in my collection. I’m going for the 1:10 on release day instead.
This is one of my favs. I like scarecrows.
That is a disturbing! Can’t get more horrific than that!
When it comes to horror that cover delivers!
When is Cates going to make FrankenCastle the next big thing?
That’s why I got the cover I know I could sketch Hillary eating a baby on it and get $500 from someone in ten minutes, it’s easy when they’re that gullible.
Enjoying the year by year top 10 by Bronzeville.
He’s reached 1953, and Pre-Code Horror is in its prime. Amazing how many publishers were putting out horror, crime, and suspense comics by this year…the top 10’oist and honorable mentions are riddled with them.
Years 1950-52 had a lot too, but didn’t dominate the census quite lime 1953.
No wonder parents freaked out! The next year Seduction of the Innocent gets published and it will be interesting to see what the list looks like before the silver age kicks in…
Necro’ing this thread for a tread I’ve noticed lately.
Charleton horror books are seeing a pretty big surge in popularity, or that is how it is being described, only I don’t think it is Charleton books specifically, it is one artist, Tom Sutton. For me, I’m now on the hunt for Tom Sutton Charleton horror books as you can find them out there in the bulk bins.
This guy sold for $316 RAW VF recently,
Not sure if anyone else is seeing the same thing, or maybe it IS just Charleton books?
Bronze Age horror in general has seen an uptick. Started with DC. After people bought up all the DC they started moving into other publishers they didn’t care about (but some of us did and have been stacking them for years).
the Sutton surge has been going on for a couple months now, Ive been looking for any even in low grade.
I have a good amount of Haunted Linrary.
Great comment/topic @Rasparthe !
I do believe Charlton as a whole are getting more respect but it really is just Tom Sutton that has surged like mad.
Any Charlton in high grade absolutely demands a premium.
I was going to do a full write up myself. I couldn’t be happier as I’ve collected Charlton (and more specifically Sutton) for awhile.
His two biggest are these if you see them. Very prolific artist in terms of amount of work. Some great pieces for Werewolf by night also .
In my opinion, his work on “scary tales” are the hardest to find, but just may be my luck.
