American Comics Update: The Bute Collection/Pre and Post Code Horror Fest: Forbidden Worlds
*Horror 1940-59: A double bill of ACG’s Forbidden Worlds from the Bute Collection this week:
PICTURED: FORBIDDEN WORLDS BOTH SOLD
#28 GD/VG £30 Pre-code. From 1954, beneath a chilling cover from Ken Bald, four tales of ghosts, monsters and ghouls. Not a bad copy with some spine and edge wear.
#65 VG+ £30 Post code. From 1958, as ACG transitioned from out and out horror into science-fiction, occult and supernatural mysteries, an issue with a long lead science-fiction story ‘There’a A New Moon Tonight!’, cover and story ad by Ogden Whitney (incidentally, Overstreet reports that this story received a record fan mail response.) Several short back up fantasy/supernatural/war stories with art by John Forte among others. Nice clean glossy copy with just minor wear.
