Value of the Astonishing Precode Horror Comics Series

Astonishing Precode Horror Comics Price Guide

In many ways, this is a classic, forgettable Atlas Comics series. There are no major key issues, no characters introduced, nothing really of note.

There was a change of title (Atlas did this all the time) from Marvel Boy #1 and #2.

But Atlas Comics are hotly collected for good reason.

You'll find lots of great skeleton and zombie covers, and just try putting together a complete run of the 60 issues in higher grade.

If you have come across a stack of these great horror comics, then use the button below to request a FREE appraisal.

A word about the Comics Code Authority

The comics code authority was introduced to protect children from extreme imagery and adult concepts. Arguably it ruined the Golden Age of horror comics.

Post-code comics are free of certain terms and phrases, and are usually worth far less than horror comics published before the code was introduced.
