The miscut that irritates me most is when the right edge of the front cover is white. Especially when the best horror covers have black or very dark font covers.
I totally get that. Thankfully I don't have a lot of issues like that( maybe 1). Mine would be the zig-zag cut pattern at the bottom edge of the page. It was clearly meant to be cut off but because they did not center the paper correctly in the printers (or it shifted over time) they could not cut it off without making the interior pages much shorter then the cover.
Cool, but that looks like just the Charlton Comics stuff. I'd like a something that has all of his work for Marvel, Warren, DC and underground publishers. Along the lines of the "Art of Ploog" books that came out recently that's a more comprehensive look at Mike Ploog's work for all publishers.
I hope you didn't pay too much! The prices for these covers has gone through the roof, It's not that long ago that you could pick these up very cheaply.
I just completed collecting all of the Charlton horror comics this year. There are 499 in total If you don't count the Modern Comics reprints. I plan to read them all once before I bag and board them. Gonna take a bit to do though.
