Weird Comics #1
Bizarre science cover
Lowest price $1,500
Average price $5,000

Record price $19,200
Just in case you're wondering, the caption reads: "I know you are a mute, Miss Kimberley, but even if you COULD yell, the people downstairs couldn't call the police. You see... I already cut all their tongues out!"
Not easy to see in the image above, so enjoy the detail below. Ick.
Miss Kimberley is a classic "headlights" babe from horror comics of the 1950s. No wonder these titles were so popular.

Weird Tales of the Future #3
Classic cover

I feel like a pretty blonde who chooses to hang out in a graveyard for some reason kind of deserves a giant undead creature to burst out of the ground. Just sayin'.
Blue Bolt #112
Classic LB Cole cover
Lowest price $150
Average price $1,800
Record price $17,200
Rather like long-running DC Comics titles, such as Sensation Comics and Captain America Comics, Blue Bolt comics had the extra title "Weird Tales of Terror" added to underline that they are now horror titles.
An awesome cover by LB Cole featuring a green demon grabbing handfuls of people.
