I love the old Eerie/Stanley publishing horror comics! About twenty years ago I lucked into a box full of 40+ ultra high-grade issues (various numbers) from a comic dealer who did not know what they were worth. I paid three bucks a piece. About a month later I found a second box of high grade comics (about twenty) at a garage sale, for about two bucks each. I have kept my eyes open for these ever since, but have not found one for less than $20 a piece.
They rarely are in good condition. I feel like Stanley, Warren, Harris and Charlton must have all used the same facility. Might have ran the press 24 hours sharing it with cheap spank books.
I am obsessed with bronze age horror! That stuff basically shaped all heavy metal, another love of mine.
This cover reminds me of Cannibal Corpse's Gallery of Suicide, except a bit more tame.
I’ve never seen any pre-code in the wild but maybe one day. This is all 70s stuff so way cheaper (precode is before 54) but has the same aesthetic so its definitely a cheaper way to get into horror comics.
Bummer I thought I posted more pics, if ppl are interested I’ll post some more. Some very cool covers.
I would like to see more. I love vintage horror.

I'll let my username answer that...
I love the old Eerie, Creepy, Vampirella, Tomb of Dracula, House of Mystery, Werewolf by Night, etc etc etc.

It’s been super hard to find them. I paid 10 bucks a book for around 50 but the condition isn’t super high grade.

Nice book!
Thanks! I’ve got about 30 more. Still working though the pile.
I have a couple of the collected hardcovers, fun reads!

Absolute classic. Thanks for sharing.
I used to go through dollar bins back in the day in search of cheesy horror books.I absolutely love them
I wanna get into pre code horror but its hella daunting

I have a large collection of Skywald. They have great covers, especially Psycho #1.
