*EC: It’s a double-header of features from the Bute Collection in our EC category this week. First up, two low-grade classic horror anthologies, one Crime Suspenstories and one Haunt Of Fear. Secondly, a quirky oddity with #3 of Land Of The Lost, based on a 1940s radio fantasy about the adventures of two children who travelled underwater with the fatherly fish Red Lantern.
PICTURED: ALL SOLD
CRIME SUSPENSTORIES #9 PR £25  Pre-Code. Cover by Craig. Interior art by Craig, Kamen, Davis & Ingels. A really bad copy, taped spine, corner erosion, brittle pages, crumbly, small strip off back cover, but all there as far as the stories are concerned.
HAUNT OF FEAR #11 PR/FA £40 Pre-code. Cover by Ingels. Interior art by Ingels, Kamen, Roussos & Davis. A low grade copy. The spine is split down to upper staple and the cover is off at lower staple. Spine mostly torn but is hanging on. Chips out at spine and right edge and some colour-breaking creasing. Pages are okay.
LAND OF THE LOST #3 VG £40 Reasonable mid-grade copy with no specific defects apart from a small tear bottom edge with no loss.
