<B>Vault of Horror #13 Gaines File pedigree (EC, 1950) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white to white pages.</B></I> Forget the #13 issue number for a sec -- this is essentially issue #2 of the title. The numbering had continued from the <B>War Against Crime</B></I> series that ran through 11 issues. Astonishing cover colors -- in part because of the unusual use of the yellow logo against a purple background, and in part due to this copy being from the Gaines File stash. Johnny Craig provided the suitably macabre cover, and co-conspirators Al Feldstein, Graham Ingels, Harvey Kurtzman, and Wally Wood drew the interior stories. Morphine story drawn by Harry Harrison and Wally Wood. Other artists in the issue are Al Feldstein, Graham Ingels, and Harvey Kurtzman. CGC has certified this as from the Gaines Files, but no certificate accompanies the book. Overstreet 2007 NM- 9.2 value = $1,610. CGC census 10/07: 3 in 9.6, 3 higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
