Collector's Notes

CGC 9.0 · Restored (C-1) · OW/W pages

A Restored copy graded 9.0. Thinly graded — just 11 on the CGC census.

CGC census: 11 total graded for this issue · avg 8.54 (Universal-label population; this copy carries a special CGC label)

Ron Cobb’s She-Creature — the AIP beast-woman in full paint, taking her second FM cover — closes the Cobb trail that began at Issue #33. The contents skew deliciously grim: Vincent Price’s art-deco revenge in The Abominable Dr. Phibes, Hammer’s foundational Curse of Frankenstein, and the poverty-row The Mad Monster.
