Here's a couple more that I don't see previously posted in this thread. I picked up these slabs a couple years ago. I'm a Strange Tales collector and these were cheap. I didn't already have copies of these two books. I figure they are still cool to own, even with the low grades

Ain't nothing wrong with cheap!

This isn't my favorite pre-hero cover, but I happen to have a scan handy. Tales of Suspense #33.

Those pre-hero western crossovers are more than welcome !

I just became aware of them a few years ago and have added them to my want list.

The only three I am aware of are:

Rawhide Kid 22
Rawhide Kid 39
Two Gun Kid 68

Am I missing any ?

Hey Hogleg, all our welcome! Nice mini-run!

This is one of my favorite PHMs as it's one of my two Edenwald's and it's one of the first examples of the classic PHM characteristics:

1. Kirby cover
2. Features a near mono-syllabic monster name
3. Fleeing people (extra points for men in hats & old ladies that look like Aunt May)
4. Destruction of property/landscape
5. Kirby "monster pants"
6. Giant creature busting out of ground/ocean/ice

That style then goes into regular production in JIM54 (9/59), ST72 (12/59), TTA8 & TOS8 (both 3/60). This WOF18 is cover dated 6/59




You'll see the other Edenwald shortly
