DESCRIPTION
off white pgs; only 2 copies graded higher
classic bloodshot eyeball cvr/story (2/54)Astonishing is just one of the many horror titles released by Atlas during the scare book craze of the 1950s. These anthologies pulled no punches with their covers to draw attention, and this one is no exception. The melting man rendered by Joe Maneely and Stan Goldberg is a truly indelible image that was sure to captivate young readers looking for a good jolt of terror. It's likely no coincidence that this comic was published the same year that the Comics Code Authority came into existence and put an end to the gore exploitation market for a time.This copy of Astonishing #30 is in excellent condition, and this remarkable 8.0 example is the third-highest-graded copy known, and that is nothing to get melted down to a skeleton by floating eyes about.
Overstreet Guide 2019 VF (8.0) value = $518.
