*Horror 1940-1959: Witchcraft is a classic 6 issue pre-code horror series from Avon in 1952/53, and issue #2 has a classic skull cover much coveted by pre-code horror collectors. Interior art and inside front cover preview by Sid Check, Joe Kubert, Norman Nodel and others. But it is the cover art (by artist unknown) that draws the eye to this issue. It presents well here, with an unmarked cover, remarkably retaining some gloss after all these years, with nice colours, unmarked but for a small pencil arrival date below the logo. There is a tiny chip out top cover edge, a tiny split at the bottom of the spine, and some spine wear with the staples off at the front cover only (see splash photo), firmly attached at the rear and centrefold. This issue doesn’t come cheap, but it is one of the iconic pre-code horror covers. High resolution images are available on request.
