*Horror 1940-1959: From the Bute Collection, and Atlas in 1953, issue #16 of Spellbound. Atlas always provided a superior quality of art and story in its many pre-code horror titles from a famous bullpen. Cover here by Russ Heath, with interior art by Heath, Bill Everett, Joe Sinnott, John Forte, Vic Carrabotta and others. This is a great-looking copy, flat and glossy, with a virtually unblemished black background. There is slight wear to the top edge, very minimal wear at the spine and tiny chip off the bottom right cover corner. Staples are tight and strong, pages a supple off-white. There is a tiny chip off the back cover bottom spine (not visible from the front), which leads to a lower spine split of 2.5 cm. Presents really well.
