*Horror 1940/1959: Just one item in our Pre-Code Horror Fest this week, but it’s a rarity. William Ekgren’s entire comics output was three covers for St John in the 1950s, but what covers they were, among the most distinctive in the genre, if not the medium with their hallucinogenic imagery. Weird Horrors #7 is the pick of the bunch in our opinion, and the insides aren’t too shabby either with accomplished art by Joe Kubert, Lou Cameron and others. This copy is only Fair, with a taped spine and several small chips out of the top and bottom cover edges, front and back. The pages though are quite decent, apart from a small corner off the margin on the splash page, and the staples are tight at the centrefold. The cover image remains relatively unspoilt.
