The Beyond #2 Awakens The Vampire with Warren Kremer Cover, at Auction
Ace's PCH series The Beyond #2 features a classic vampire cover from Harvey Comics legend and Richie Rich creator Warren Kremer.
The Beyond #2, published by Ace in 1951, features an awesome cover by artist Warren Kremer, and it may be one of the go-to examples of the dark lord of the night's comic covers. Featuring him awakening in his coffin and a couple about to have a very bad time, the cover is colored so well that this is one I would give near the top of the stack for any vampire collector. Kremer is far better known for his work at Harvey Comics, where he created Richie Rich and Hot Stuff the Little Devil and played a significant role in much more. Heritage Auctions has a raw copy taking bids right now, with it currently sitting at $56, a steal for such a cool example of pre-code horror. Check it out below.
