I, oddly enough, found a coverless copy of that and then upgraded to one with a cover within a month, back in the late 90's.  I found a good home for the coverless copy and still have the complete one.

I've said something like this before:  When people ask me what my "best" book is, I vary the answer depending on who is asking.  Most people, who don't necessarily know a lot about comics, get told Mad #1 or sometimes even New Mutants #98, as something they can understand.  The comic collectors, I'll normally say Adventure #247.  But for the real hard core experts, Sugar & Spike #1 is my REAL answer if I had to pick just one.  Most people, even a lot of comic collectors, don't get the significance.  But for those of us who know about it, it is the very definition of a Grail book.

👍👍👍

Your absolutely right, a set of B&B 1-24 is a great accomplishment...in any condition! I agree that the Silent Knight stories are very good, I particularly like the one in #15! Congrats!

Nice group! I’ve yet to procure my first Shock, but I know it’s just a matter of time!

You could say that. $$$

Beautiful book Ken. A stunner!   

I can’t say I’m familiar with his work outside of Brave and the Bold, but I loved his work on this title. 

That’s cool Ed!

My 9 is a really pretty 7.5. It’s a cover I really like due to the colors and the Silent Knight. I would post 10, but I know Brad has a pretty special copy of that issue. 

If anyone who likes this thread isn’t a member of the EC Fan-Addict Club group on Facebook I would recommend checking it out, it’s very active and a lot of cool posts there. 

I may have one, but I need to check.

That Shock 2 is pretty! 

The number seven is a really great cover, I love the colors of the book and the two Silent Knights. I’m actually on my second copy of this one, a 7.0. My first copy was a 6.5. Why did I upgrade a 6.5 to a 7.0? I forgot I had the 6.5 🤣😂 

That’s why lists and databases are so important, of course you have to refer to them too!

Brad should post his number eight too since mine (while once) is his under copy. 

BB 6. I bought this one years ago. Up until about a year ago I used ComicBase to track my collection (why I stopped and what I use now is a another story). ComicBase for some bizarre reason kept showing the value of BB 6 as some insane amount many multiple higher than the surrounding issues. I didn't have a copy at the time, but felt like I needed one ASAP since I had no clue why it was valued so high (like 3-4K in fine). I found this copy somewhere, most likely CLINK or Heritage and jumped on it, probably paid a few hundred. For awhile this was my lowest numbered issue, then I got the number 1. Anyways, nothing really special about this issue other the the fine people at ComicBase thought it was special 

On to #5. I have a number 4 that is not as nice as Brad’s. I can’t remember where I got it though or how long I’ve had it. 

I just picked up this number 5 from a sale on the boards last month.

This issue begins Robin Hood which if I recall was picked up from Quality Comics and just started it’s own DC run in it’s own title. I liked these stories, though not quite as well as Viking Prince and Silent Knight.

EC’s seem to be going up in price in all grades. Has that been everyone else’s experience as well? For awhile the HG stuff seemed to have to real growth (check out GPA, many books are selling at the same level of 10 years ago) now though it seems like a lot of books are breaking old records. 

The last book I acquired was my 15th EC. I want many more 🤣

Of course not, given that they had to conform to the CCA.  But even a watered down EC was better than any of the competition.

The art was awesome, DC sci from the same time frame was pretty good too. I was surprised to see how much the code affected the stories between WSF and ISF.

I have reprints of 2 and 3 and a few pages of #4.

 

There are more words on that one page than in the entire issue of a new comic.

Neither do I, but rather a continuation of Weird Science Fantasy, itself a continuation of Weird Science and Weird Fantasy.

Except the stories don’t pack the same punch.

I sold all of my DC’s and started collecting Marvels...
