American Comics Update: Pre-Code Horror Fest: Final issue of Avon’s Eerie #17 1954
*Horror 1940-1959: One of the most famous horror titles of the 1950s. Confident of the success of their horror showcase, Avon Publishing followed up their 1951 debut issue with an ongoing series. Always a quality title, showcasing the work of Wally Wood & Joe Kubert, among many others. This final issue, #17, dates from 1954 as the pre-code era drew to a close. Mostly by very competent but not famous artists, there is still a touch of Wally Wood on inks on the lead story, and the final story, the Mirror of Isis, is a drop of egyptology from Joe Kubert. Ghoulish monsters, tombs, witches and a magic mirror all await you in these pages. This is a lower graded copy, with the cover hanging on at the staples, and a water stain across the bottom left of the cover. Edge and handling wear, including fingerprint to right edge. Nice white to off-white pages.
