Pre-Code Classics: Ghost HC (2016 PS Artbooks) Slipcase Edition 1-1ST NM 9.4

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "1951 to 1953!" Collects Ghost Comics (1951-1954 Fiction House) #1-7. This often unfairly forgotten 11-strong series (of which this volume captures the first seven issues) surely boasted some of the most magnificent covers of any of the EC wannabes of some sixty-plus years ago, despite the artists concerned being a considerable way from being "household names." One of these forgotten masters is Maurice Whitman; just check out the cover for #6! Plus you get EC's very own Jack Kamen regularly popping up inside. This was material that suggested unpleasantness rather than just stepped forward and pulled the old schlock-it-up lever. Hardcover (with Slipcase), 256 pages, full color. Cover price $69.99.
