Harvey Publications · Chamber of Chills #22 · August 1951 · $0.10 · 36 pages · Bi-Monthly
Grade: F+ 6.5
Cover by Al Avison.
Interior art by Vic Donahue, John Giunta and Rudy Palais.
Classic pre-Code horror anthology featuring supernatural and science fiction stories with the atmospheric artwork that defined Harvey's horror line. The issue showcases the collaborative talents of three solid craftsmen — Vic Donahue's clean storytelling, John Giunta's detailed figure work, and Rudy Palais's dynamic panel compositions — all working within the genre's sweet spot before the Comics Code arrived to dim the lights.
Harvey's Chamber of Chills ran for 26 issues, representing one of the publisher's most successful forays into horror before pivoting to their famous kid-friendly characters.
Condition F+ 6.5 — A real beauty. Only the most minor flaws prevent this from hitting the VF tier. Exceptional eye appeal..
We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it. If anything ever looks off, reach on out at robopictocomics@gmail.com.
