Ebay: Necroscope "1st edition" (warning)

[topol_sheap]

For those of you wanting a true first edition of Necroscope, don't do it from this link:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=72305&item=6926383600&rd=1

This is not a true first like it states. Some of you will know about the silly voodoo skull cover by Alan Hood, which came out just before the George Underwood cover. Be warned, don't buy it, the seller is lying, or doesn't have a clue.

Cheers,

Tops

A little more information if you can.

I don't know about the silly voodoo skull cover.

I thin I can supply more information... I might even supply a scan of said book. Remember, this is the TRUE first edition, it came before all the others, and whatever Ebay bloke says at this point it a lie. There aren't too many about of this, but they do on occasion appear on ebay as do the oringinal Psych books (not with the red covers), and the original Demogorgan. THe covers for all of these are truly awful, and it's a good thing not everyone judges a book by it's cover! smile.gif

Anyway, here's my scan:

Red Psych books are the best (IMHO) but they are getting harder to find these days!

You are right about the cover on this one though Tops. Still a good book for your collection though

... and one missing from my collection!! I had it years ago and was lost in a house move...

Doesn't seem to come on ebay to often ,,, and recall missing it at the con last year.

Not a great cover - but would love it...!!!ah well ..one day.....

[Lupa the Ancient]

...on this subjest you really do have to watch what your bidding on.... if in doubt post on the board someone will also be able to give some info I'm sure....

So if this the "true" first edition, then what about the Necroscope editions with the inside cover art by Dennis Nolan? I have a copy of this and it says first edition, but maybe this is only for the TOR books? Can you believe I just bought this for 50 cents from someone!?

BTW, I have a website I put up (still under construction) with quotes and exceprts from the Necroscope books. I don't want to do anything I'm not allowed to so can someone tell me if I need to include copyright info or something else to make sure I'm legit? The url is:
