Description:

VG (4.0). Spine roll, spine stress, some rust to bottom staple, small crease to bottom right corner of front cover, thin sun shadows to back cover, small mark (rust transfer?) to back cover, small grease-pencilled distributor's mark ("59") to "M" in "MYSTIC." White pages. Cover: Sol Brodsky. Art: Gene Colan, Russ Heath, Allen Bellman, Frank Siemensky, Paul Reinman. GPAnalysis: No reported sales in this grade. A 4.5 sold for $420 in 11/21.

The cover blurb promises the reader "The Most EERIE" Stories Ever Told!" The insides don't quite deliver the goods, although the last panel of Allen Bellman's "The Undead" comes close, with a creepy pic of an undead wife demanding sexual service from her hapless hubby ("I'll never stop loving you! Take me in your arms!").
