What a stunning acquisition!  I remember staring at the Wrightson werewolf splash page prelim from the same issue at a Heroes Con back in the early 2000s.  It was priced at $700 (which I didn't have at the time) but what a sight to behold.  These are priceless and I'm amazed it was still in their collection.  Huge congrats!

Man-Thing hasn't looked this brilliant since MICRONAUTS #7!  Seriously stunning!

A stunning version of Julie Adams!  Check out Wakulla Springs soon, that place is a hidden gem.

Man there is something about Frazetta's thunderous lizards and these examples are just uncannily GREAT!  Hats off to ya! 

Kirby was such a visionary and Royer was icing on the cake. Stunning example.

One of the classic Patchwork Man pages etched in my memory!  It doesn't get any better than this!

How did I ever miss this Aragones classic piece?  This is one of the earliest comic series that I remember as a child. This guy is a living legend.  

Amazing to own anything by this EC legend! This pencil rendering is breathtaking!  

What a real beauty!  And such an honor to meet the artist as well!  Incredible!

No matter who penciled this classic title page, it is exquisite!  Sets the mood perfectly with all the lush detail.  Wow!  Hats off to you on such a beautiful acquisition. 

How cool is this?  I've always been fascinated with Mexico's unique take on all things horror.  From BRAINIAC to the bizarre world of EL SANTO they really seem to do a bang up job! THIS is such a brilliant example, nevermind its MOON KNIGHT, it's like peering into an alternate reality.  

Just a real stunner!  Aragones is one of the last living legends!  

Any prelim that contains PATCHWORK MAN is gold in my book.  That first panel alone is pure classic WRIGHTSON!

Man, growing up in the states I missed all of this UK goodness!  The only issue I ever saw (outside of the reprinted EAGLE run) was the John Byrne guest issue that someone's dad purchased copies from NYC.  This is simply GORGEOUS!

Seriously how lucky can one be?  Such a classic Buscema/Sinnott example from the Bronze Age of Marvel.  Just a real stunner!  

CRAAAAAAAAAZY goodness man!  Top notch and historic!  Congrats!

Now THAT is just CLASSIC, CRAZY goodness!  Congrats - you unearthed a real beauty!

A real stunner - in person and on paper.

This one certainly has cinematic qualities.  What a superb duo!  Some of the finest moments of our beloved Muck Monster!

These BIG JOHN Frankenstein pages are priceless!  Such a THING of remarkable beauty and rare too!  I'm thankful I grabbed a few examples early on, they never seem to turn up anymore.  Brilliant!

One of the very best depictions of Man-Thing!  The textures are unworldly, breathtaking.  Big John and Sutton were reaching new heights with this storyline. Incredible! 

This one reminds me of the unsavory cast of characters from John Carpenter's THE FOG.  Tom Sutton is such an underrated talent, he is criminally overlooked by the comic field and deserves more recognition. What an exquisite example!

Outstanding example from the wonderful world of PLOOG!  Nobody did it quite like Gerber and Ploog.  What a great duo!

These are some of the finest Spidey moments - Marvel monster madness!   And nobody captured the chaos quite like GIL KANE!  Brilliant example!   

Seriously outstanding!

Now this is a surprise!  Never even thought about Wrightson's

take on De GOLEM!  Magnificent!  

Does it get any better than this?  Bravo!  Classic cover from a EC legend.

One of my favorites - congrats! 

Oh this one hits the sweet spot!  I was first exposed to the radiator scene of ERASERHEAD in 8th grade during a free weekend of Showtime.  My young mind was totally blown away by the strange lady singing "IN HEAVEN EVERTHING IS FINE."  That's about all I could handle that evening but found myself seeking out a VHS copy months later to see what the heck that was all about which introduced me to the wonderfully surreal world of DAVID LYNCH.  Next it was ELEPHANT MAN and then BLUE VELVET.  I haven't been the same since.  About ten years ago when we finished Route 66, I shared a meal with my wife at the original Shoney's Big Boy in LA where Lynch had his chocolate shake every day at 2:30PM.  Hats off to a wonderful acquisition, Sienkiewicz is a natural channeling a genius like LYNCH.

Have always adored Wrightson's PATCHWORK MAN!  This is such an outstanding example.  I remember buying the DC Swamp Thing $1.00 reprints off the spinner rack back in the 70s, what a wonder introduction to the world of Wrightson. 

WOOF!

These early Berni pieces are always a treat!  Love seeing how his signature style took shape and changed the course of horror forever.  Congrats!

There's something to be said for the Bronze Age of comics.  Maybe it's the simplicity, maybe it's the creativity but certainly the overall coolness factor!  Finding all of these in today's comics is quite a feat.  Congrats on a phenomenal page.

I know the guy who owns the finished piece to this but I have to say, these pencils are superior.  Love the depth and emotion.  Congrats!

Congrats on a wonderful acquisition.  Can't believe you attended one of the Creature fests at Wakulla Springs while the cast were still around.  My wife and I stayed two nights at the Wakulla Lodge in Feb (off season) back in 2022.  It was twenty nine degrees each morning and the eerie fog over the water was straight out of a Hollywood setting.  The place is like a time capsule, set back in the prehistoric age.  Any Creature fan should book a night or two to experience it.  

I remember stories back in the day of how talented an artist Chris was and how he'd do doodles after shows when he was signing items and just getting started.  Met him at Wolf Trap and seemed like a genuinely nice guy.  Wish I could have met James Wilsey too (the man behind Isaak's sound).

Congratulations!  There is something to be said about knowing you have the real thing!  I kick myself for parting with my Kahn set years ago but that's part of collecting.  This signature remains one of my top three favorite Frazetta signature styles.  

Stellar art from a KILLER issue!  Congrats!

Cover worthy for sure!  A lot of folks scoff at his Adams-clone days but it was THIS style that rocked my world when I was ten or eleven, it will always be my favorite.  Congrats!

What another exquisite piece by one of the true living masters!  CREEPSHOW to boot!  Love it!

Yowza!  This guy is legend!

Quite a stunner!  Hauntingly beautiful.

Brilliant painting!  Wow!  Just discovering this artist so thanks!

This is quite nice, especially love the zip-a-tone over the Drac panal.  What an incredible team.

Oh my goodness - what a superb choice!  WOW nicely done!  That stare says it all, cinematic in every way.  

Love this wonderful issue and this is certainly one of the best pages!  Killer acquisition!

OUTSTANDING rendition Chris!  Love your take on the villain too (reminds me so much of AMICUS).  This made my day!

One of my all-time Jones favorites.

What an incredible draftsman!  Would have loved to have met the guy.

Words escape me but it sure is purdy!
