Chamber of Chills #19 achieved iconic status over this disturbing Lee Elias cover illustration. The enticingly haunting blonde soon became the stuff of legend to horror fans and Golden Age collectors, plus plenty of punk rockers after the Misfits swiped the art for a self-released single in 1984. The striking image (still featured on Misfits merchandise) continues to make this issue an enduring collectible for pre-Code horror fans — 70 years after the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency hearings that killed the title as Harvey Comics concentrated on the kiddie market!
With only 124 copies listed, this hellishly-hot Harvey book is fairly difficult to find in any condition—let alone this gorgeous 8.0 graded copy. The colors are bright, the black wash of the background is both clean and relatively free of wear, and the overall presentation is solid and fresh. The collectability of this primal-cool comic can’t be denied, with plenty of horror fans ready to make a play for one of the genre’s most recognizable covers.
