Two very different books in today.  First, a pulp digest that's a bit later than I would normally post, but is worthy of note because it has the first publication anywhere of a Conan story that was actually completed by Howard rather than somebody else, even if it was presumably rather heavily edited.  It will happily do as a placeholder until I finally get a 30's issue of Weird Tales with a Conan story, though.

And, the big find of the day.  As I mentioned in the EC thread a few days ago, my favorite Bradbury story, and in fact my favorite EC story of all time, is "There Will Come Soft Rains", from the Martian Chronicles.  Here's the original publication of the story in Collier's.  I first read the story sometime in the 1980's, and it, more than any other story I can recall, has haunted me for decades.  Not scary, really;  haunting is the right word. Decidedly a big addition to my collection, at least on my personal scale:

Just so we have all 3 here, slightly edited for the boards:

EC didn't do a lot of full page splashes, leave them to use one as the last page of a story.  Weird Fantasy #17

Was talking to a friend about Ray Bradbury a few days ago; since it was on my mind I decided to pull this one out.  My all-time favorite Bradbury story (the original, as well as the adaptation); my all time favorite EC story, and one of my top 5 or so all time favorite comic stories.  I've had this book for around 25 years now; it was one of 3 EC's in my collection to survive a "I need to pay rent" sale.  (Life got better, I'm back up to around 60 EC's.)
