For Sale: Alien Books Horror Pulp Stories #1A (FairSquare / Alien Books, 2023) – Damian Connelly Cover in Near Mint/Mint 9.8 Condition!

Here’s a pristine high-grade modern horror one-shot for your collection! Alien Books’ Horror Pulp Stories #1 is a prestige-format anthology that drops you straight into classic pulp terror.

Why This Issue Stands Out:

•  Cover A by Damian Connelly: The regular cover by the creator of You Promised Me Darkness and Blood, Love and a Deadly Spell — atmospheric, pulpy, and built for horror collectors.

•  Writers: Damian Connelly, H.P. Lovecraft, and Matts
Interior Artists: Damian Connelly, Salvador Sanz, and Leo Lujan
Cover Artist: Damian Connelly

•  Prestige-format one-shot — 64 pages — three complete stories — full color — Mature Readers.

•  Step into the forbidden realms of Horror Pulp Stories. This book mixes:

•  A diabolical original tale by Damian Connelly (writer and artist)

•  H.P. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu, illustrated in chilling full color by horror master Salvador Sanz (Mega, Angela Della Morte)

•  A rural mystery by Matts (Machine Girl), with haunting art by newcomer Leo Lujan

•  Eldritch abominations, Cthulhu’s shadow, and things that should have stayed buried — all rendered in rich, pulp-magazine color.

This is a modern love letter to the old horror pulps: self-contained stories, strong atmosphere, and art that actually looks like it belongs on a newsstand in another era.

Condition & Grading:

Professionally assessed at Near Mint/Mint 9.8 (NM/MT). This copy is exceptionally clean and sharp — flat, glossy cover with vibrant colors, tight spine, and white pages free of noticeable defects. A true high-grade modern prestige book ready for a slab or top-tier collection.

Collectibility & Value:

As the first (and Cover A) issue of Alien Books’ horror pulp anthology, high-grade 9.8 copies appeal to collectors of Damian Connelly, Salvador Sanz, Lovecraft adaptations, and modern independent horror. Strong eye appeal and a complete three-story package make it an easy add for horror and prestige-format collectors.

This is a sharp, high-grade modern horror one-shot — Cover A by Damian Connelly, three complete stories, Salvador Sanz on Lovecraft, and near-perfect condition. A strong addition to any horror, pulp, or modern independent comics collection.
