Description: Key Horror Comic: Startling Terror! This Auction Includes: LOT OF 1 VINTAGE COMIC BOOK: STARTLING TERROR TALES #11, The Coveted "Ghost Spider Of Death" Issue With The Skull-Headed Spider Cover By The Inimitable L. B. Cole! Unfortunately This Copy Is Missing The Entire Logo Area From The Front Cover; Otherwise It's Complete, Intact, Flat, Tight And Supple. This Is A Scarce Small Press Horror Comic, And Much Like "Ghostly Weird #122" And "Blue Bolt Weird Tales #114" By The Same Publisher, It Has Always Been A Sought-After Classic By This Highly-Collected Artist. This Is From 1952 And It Is Perfect For The Reader Or Collector On A Budget; The Last Nice Copy To Surface Was A CGC 6.5 And It Went For Almost SIXTEEN GRAND! It Came Out During The Original Horror Craze So It Has The Ubiquitous Shocking Content Including Gore And Good Girl Art And Explicit Violence. This issue features terrific lurid art, not just on the iconic Cole cover but also in the twisted morbid sometimes-psychedelic occult tales to haunt your nightmares, which is probably illustrated by the underrated Ken Battefield. It will be sent out in an archival Mylar comic sleeve for safe long-term preservation. THIS ANTIQUE COMIC HAD AN ORIGINAL PRICE OF TEN CENTS. Most of the iconic LB Cole image is present, and bold and glossy, please view our assorted photos. The back cover is all here, as is the interior, it's attached, and has plenty more contented readin's left in it; Perhaps it was a 'remaindered copy', where the newsstand owner would redeem the logo region of an unsold comic for credit from the distributor. (But with a cover like THIS hyping the sensational "Ghost Spider Of Death" story, the chance of any copies going unsold seems remote!) Crucial fare for any horror fan or collector of American pop culture from the middle of the twentieth century. I'M OFFERING THIS IMPORTANT COMIC AT A LOW PRICE, WITH NO RESERVE, -- SO DON'T MISS THIS CHANCE! MATERIAL LIKE THIS SPOTLIGHTING ICONIC THEMES OF FILM, PULP FICTION, CINEMA AND LITERATURE NEVER LOSES APPEAL. This will be carefully bagged and boarded in ARCHIVAL MYLAR, with an acid-free backing-board, and packaged very well to ensure safe delivery. Please inspect the images as you get the exact copy shown. COLLECTOR'S ITEM RARE HORROR COMIC.
