Beschreibung:

Fair/Good (1.5). Spine roll, staples pulled, tears and splits to spine, nicks, short tears and a few small chips to edges, two small abrasions to front cover. Cream to off-white pages. Cover and art by uncredited Iger Studio talent. Editor: Ruth Roche. GPAnalysis: No reported sales in this grade. Lowest-graded copy: A 2.0 sold for $249 in June 2021. The cover depicts a green-cloaked Vault-Keeper wannabe plunging his knife into a hot blonde homunculus, as shriveled corpses hang on meathooks in the background like beef jerky of the damned. The mood of degeneracy continues inside: A woman kills her dog for growling at her ("I killed Bonzo! Hah-hah-hah — I suppose I should feel sorry — but I don't! I feel GOOD!"); a murdered hubby returns from the grave to have sex with his ex ("Back from the dead it came — the thing that had been her husband! But now it scrabbled across the floor, dripping slime from the grave... and decaying arms reached out to enfold her in DEATH'S CARESS"); a man spits on his boss's grave and gets a grim severance package from beyond. Meanwhile, ads tempt voyeuristic readers with high-powered binoculars ("See without being seen!") and mini spy cameras ("Easily concealed in hand for taking secret, forbidden pictures!"). A deluxe limited edition of 12 hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a small number of softcovers. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $40, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Eight of the 12 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now.
