Description: Pre-Code Horror: Strange Mysteries This Auction Includes: LOT OF 1 VINTAGE COMIC: STRANGE MYSTERIES #6, Boasting A Great Cover, Including A Zombie With A Young Blonde, A Skeleton Carrying His Own Shrunken Detached Head, And Even A Man Getting Strangled! Presentable Unrestored Example With Supple Paper, But With Some Little Splits To The Cover's Spine. Long A Part Of My Collection, This Was Bought From Harley Yee Back In The Nineties And Always Stored Properly In Mylar In A Cool Dark Secure Pet-Free Environment. Includes Salacious Occult Stories Like The Gruesome Lead Story "Head Of Horror" About A Shrunken Head That Won't Die! Along With "Doomed To Live" And "Dead Man's Curse" And "Marauding Monsters" About Criminals That Get Turned Into Evil Apes. This will be sent out in an archival Mylar comic sleeve for continued safe long-term preservation. THIS ANTIQUE COMIC HAD AN ORIGINAL PRICE OF TEN CENTS. It's intact and complete with a heavy color strike and it's supple and flat and bright. The cover and interior remain secured, but there are a few tiny splits at the spine, and chips at the ends of the spine; it was misprinted so the back cover is at an angle, not covering all of the innards, (quality control was notoriously lax at this little Canadian publisher in the early fifties!) Otherwise, just mild general surface and edge wear and some assorted dings, but it still looks quite nice in the included mylar sleeve. It is clean and brilliant with good luster, and the pages are flat and clean, and cream to off-white. So you get a solid unrestored collectable copy with good presentation without spending the higher price for a certified example that is forever out of reach in a trendy slab. Crucial fare for any fan of fifties horror comics or American pop culture from the middle of the twentieth century. I'M OFFERING THIS IMPORTANT COMIC AT A LOW PRICE, WITH NO RESERVE, -- SO DON'T MISS THIS CHANCE! MATERIAL LIKE THIS SPOTLIGHTING ICONIC THEMES OF FILM, PULP FICTION, CINEMA AND LITERATURE NEVER LOSES APPEAL. This will be carefully bagged and boarded in ARCHIVAL MYLAR, with an acid-free backing-board, and packaged very well to ensure safe delivery. Please inspect the images as you get the exact copy shown. SCARCE COLLECTOR'S ITEM HORROR COMIC.
