BOO! The World's Most Valuable Horror Comic Books -- and Why They Make Great Investments

Hi

We are delighted to have you in our community. Please share our site and Facebook page with your friends:



You may have noticed a bunch of weirdos wearing masks and costumes in your neighborhood.

If you DON'T live in San Francisco, then you've probably figured out that it's Halloween.

We thought it would be appropriate to highlight a few of the world's most valuable horror comic books, and explain why they are a great alternative to Silver Age key issues as comic book investments.

Why Classic Pre-Code Horror Comic Books Are a Great Investment
 
Putting together a collection or investment group of Silver Age key issues is literally as challenging as waving your check book.

If you want an Incredible Hulk #1 or Amazing Fantasy #15, and you can afford it, you can have it.


Pre-Code horror is much more difficult to find, especially if you are picky about eye appeal.

Millions of these issues were destroyed, literally in book burnings, during the 1950s "Seduction of the Innocents" witch-hunt on horror comics.

Not all horror comics, even old ones, are created equal. It's all about the cover art.

If you stick to the books on the two lists linked above, you'll do well -- these are the titles with the most outrageous cover art, featuring severed heads or limbs, horrendous scenes of torture or suffering.

It ain't pretty, but it's pretty effective. The nice thing is, these books are still under-valued compared to Silver Age comic books.

I'm slowly putting together a collection of these great titles, and I strongly recommend you do the same.

As usual, buy what you like and what you can afford.

A hint: boring covers usually are worth far far less, even in really high grade, than exceptionally gross covers in worse condition.
