Description
Heading:
Author:
Title: MYSTERIOUS ADVENTURES No. 19
Place Published:
Publisher:Story [Indicia: Story Comics, Inc.]
Date Published: April, 1954
Description:

CGC certified: Fine (6.0). Cream to off-white pages. Cover: No credits on Grand Comics Database, Overstreet has no info, but it's clearly the work of Hy Fleishman. Art: Ross Andru, Bill Savage, Dick Beck. GPAnalysis: No reported sales in this grade. A 6.5 sold for $2250 in May 2020.

This mag's wild "carload of corpses" cover has caused values to zoom in recent years, as slab-happy collectors have started prizing pre-Code mags with shocking, horrific, grotesque and outré cover images. A decade ago, you could buy this mag in 7.0 for about $200; now, in the age of cover-centric collecting, even a 3.0 will set you back a grand or more.

"Mysterious Adventures #19 includes a vampire story, a werewolf story, a story about the devil, and a tale about being buried alive. While not a particularly distinguished issue, the reader certainly gets his money's worth for his (1954) dime — or even for a double-sawbuck today!" — George Suarez, Tales To Terrible To Tell #5. NEC: 1992, p. 31. A hint to those not hep to Suarez's slang: a double-sawbuck is 20 clams.
