Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author:
Title: The THING! No. 1
Place Published:
Publisher:Charlton [Indicia: Song Hits, Inc.]
Date Published: February, 1952
Description:

G/VG (3.0). Spine stress, spine a bit rolled, transverse tears to spine, 1/2" split to top spine, 1/4" split to bottom spine, nicks and tiny chips to top and open edges of back cover, covers creased, soiling to back cover. Cream to off-white pages. Conservatively graded; might slab at 3.5. Cover and four stories by Albert Tyler with Bob Forgione inks. GPAnalysis: A 3.0 sold for $288 in June 2020.

Shrunken head cover; severed head panels; several people burned alive, accompanied by some seriously stilted dialogue: "HELP ME! My entire body is on fire! Something has happened to me!" "Look out! The flames will get you!! Too bad we can't help those very unfortunate people!"

"The Thing!... was one of the best pre-Code horror titles to appear during the horrific years of 1950-1955. It ran for 17 issues and there isn't a real clunker in the bunch; most offer exciting and scary combinations of horror art and story." — George Suarez, TERROLOGY (formerly Tales To Terrible To Tell) #11. NEC: 1993, p. 16.

Consignments welcome for PBA's Fall 2022 Comic Book sale. Pre-Code Horror, Golden Age and Silver Age comics, original art, vintage comic-related photos and ephemera sought. Send inquiries to ivan@pbagalleries.com.
