Used in Seduction of the Innocent, The Beyond #27 Up for Auction
A famous pre-code horror comic, issue 27 of The Beyond, is taking bids at Heritage Auctions right now, and worth a look.
The Beyond #27 is one of the strangest covers of a comic I have ever seen, and not just because I cannot figure out what is happening for the life of me, but the dialogue box hurts my head. Like, are they at dinner? Is that the railing of the ship? If it is, how is that water running like that at the bottom? What is he standing on? Why is she talking like that? She is telling him to look, even though he is staring right at the dead sea person. Anyway, no matter how I feel about it, this is a famous cover, as it was included in Seduction of the Innocent. Therefore, it is a desirable book, and this copy is taking bids at Heritage Auctions right now, currently at $78 as of this writing. Check it out below.
