Today's ECCC haul, starting with Marvel. Pretty sure I already have a Crazy #1 somewhere, and love the Time Bandits cover on the 86:

EC's are scarce on the ground at ECCC this year, other than the humor books. But was able to find at least one EC I didn't have and could afford, at least. A first issue, even:

And the $3.95 plus shipping wonder finally arrived. I do enjoy treasury editions.

Harley had it as a 6.0, I believe. Still cheap, though. I think a lot of the four colors are under appreciated these days, possible because they look like high numbers

To borrow the quote from the Lost SOTI site: "Typical is one called 'Your United States'. It devotes one page to each state and, although on bad paper and as smudgily printed as the others, it really contains some instructive information. But practically every state, although it gets only one page, has a scene of violence; if one doesn't, that is made up for in other states where there are two or three such scenes. For instance, a man hanged from a tree by a "vigilance committee"; Negroes in chains; corpses and dying men; a girl tied to a tree, her bound wrists above her head, her skirt blowing up in the wind and a coy facial expression of fright as in a sadist's dream; a girl about to be raped or massacred. Is that what you want your children to think is the history of "Your United States"? " He unsurprisingly exaggerates when he claims nearly every page has a violent scene, but he wasn't entirely wrong in the general case that the creators seemed to be looking for "exciting" images to a somewhat disproportionate degree.

It was "rainbow-farting" that forced me to go with a laugh rather than a like, no disrespect to your choice intended, @Axe Elf

As always, agreed that finding a SOTI book is a thrill. Mind you, I've got about 8 total, so I've got more room to grow the collection than @SOTIcollector. Anyway, found cheap today at ECCC:

Two more today:

And from none to done in two days:

And then some more assorted books:

ECCC day 2. Start with the 1984/1994's:

I think my most recent double cover is from 2010. But I've only got a couple total.

Four figures for the Startling Stories witch cover?!? Pulps are crazy right now.

Or very lucky on my timing...

Congratulations, it's an awesome book! I just looked up what I paid for my copy: $75 in 2018. The pulp market has just exploded the last few years!

And a few more Warrens to wrap up day 1 of ECCC. Some nice covers on the series, at least:

ECCC Creepys:

ECCC Eeries:

Some MADness from ECCC today:

I think this fits here, although not terribly impressive compared to most of the books this thread sees. Cheap from ECCC today:

A couple UG's from ECCC today:

Found at ECCC today. First Scribbly by Sheldon Mayer. This is already a strong candidate for my best book of the year:
