You're looking at the covers of facsimile editions of the first three issues of THRILLER COMICS from the 1950s. I used to own the IPC/FLEETWAY file copies, gifted to me by an editor in the mid-'80s, but I sold them around 20 years later. (Got a good price for them too, even though they'd my name stamped on the back.)
Thing is, I missed having them around, so I acquired these facsimiles from the successor to BRYON WHITWORTH's little publishing 'empire' several years back. (Bryon was the editor of the now sadly defunct The ILLUSTRATED COMIC JOURNAL and various non-profit comics indices and facsimile issues.)
Thriller Comics was published by The AMALGAMATED PRESS in 1951, but with issue # 41 the title was renamed THRILLER COMICS LIBRARY. This lasted until #162, whereupon, with #s 163-450 (the final issue in the series), it changed its name yet again - to THRILLER PICTURE LIBRARY. The title ceased publication in 1963.
Anyway, thought you'd like to see the covers of these historical publications - so enjoy.
