DEAD OF NIGHT #1, December 1973. Although the stories vary in quality, I love the John Romita cover on this Marvel comic. It is very reminiscent of the Atlas horror comics of the 1950s where these reprints originally appeared, and is also a sign of changing times, when the Comics Code relaxed its prohibition against horror comics.

This issue is on my want list, Harry. Thanks for putting it up, so that I could check it out - - - in advance.
I love these early-to-mid '70s Marvels. This was a period I found rich with interest, black and white comics, monster heroes (Dracula, Frankenstein, Werewolf By Night, Man-Thing), Conan, etc. It was a fun period of collecting for me. Most of what I got in those days disappeared in trades and eBay sales, but I hung on to the ones I liked the most. I just wish I'd hung on to them all.
Same here, and I've been picking up this same type of stuff for the past decade or so, and it's getting harder - since the speculators have moved into the 1970's stuff pretty heavily.
Nothing pains me more than to see 70's Marvel (in particular) slabbed into a CGC shell.
