Robot Man

Cochran/Gladstone lot goes to tv horror. Many thanks! The hardbounds are wonderful especially if you study the art, but there is absolutely nothing better than reading an EC in full color on newsprint like they were originally produced!

I'm well aware of that Back in "my day" Everybody was free. Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Will Eisner, Bob Kane, Siegal and Schuster, Carl Barks, Wally Wood, Al Williamson, Harvey Kurtzman, Bill Gaines, Carmen Infantino, Gill Kane and the list goes on. Free and sometimes with a small sketch. I got 'em all and then some. It amazes me what some of these new "flash in the pan" guys charge their fans. One piece should always be free. Now if you are spending stupid money to have some somebody else do it for you and imprisioning it in a plastic tomb for immediate profit, I guess I see their point... I passed on Liefeld for free... Sometimes it pays to be old!

Nice! A tough one. Looks like Mickey got busy on the top right corner..,

"LOL"... Man, what happened to the days when you would just walk up to your favorite comic artist, have a pleasant short conversation and just have him sign your book?...

I can't disagree on "Master Race" either. Worth the price of this whole lot. I tried to price these sets right so they would go into the hands of readers or collectors on a budget. Hopefully, a few more will find new homes...

Why of course my fellow edaddict! Not a problem. The classic MAD #11 goes to OtherEric!

Funny folks...

An exceptional haul back when normal people could afford Golden Age comics...

Me too. Right when you walk through the front door...

Gunfighter 11 goes to Eddie707. Thank you sir!

Tales from the Crypt and the New Trend lots go to chevalmeow. Thank you sir, you have some fun reading coming your way!

OK, that's it for this time. If someone wants a few sets (or a complete EC collection), talk to me and make me an offer I can't refuse. As awsome as these are, I just don't need them anymore...

SOLD! Last Lot and it is a doozy! The complete New Trend EC run + Panic. You get: Aces High #1-5 (sadly missing #4) Impact #1-5 (complete) MD #1-5 (complete) Panic #1-10 (complete) Piracy #1-7 (complete) Psychoanalysis #1-4 (complete) Valor #1-5 (complete) These were EC's last ditch effort. Some wins and some losses. Aces High and Piracy are my favorite. Piracy was the first EC run I completed. I was given the whole set at once by an old man in the neighborhood. As I bought and sold off my sets of EC's these are the ones I always kept. Valor has just so so stories but the best art in the whole New Trend line. Full of Williamson and Wood at their peak. Now MD and Impact... not so much give the MD set to your doctor. He might appreciate them... A total of 40 books for $60.

Frontline Combat #4 Jan-Fed 1953 Great issue with Kurtzman's favorite story "Airburst" A real nice, clean, flat, tight complete copy. Tiny tear in bottom by spine and a very tiny chip out of bottom right corner. No missing pieces, other tears or creases. Book and centerfold bound snug to covers. Off white interior paper. Oh, and a small date stamp on back cover for those who like 'em. $65.

SOLD via PM! The Haunt of Fear #21 Oct 1953 Most of the back cover is missing. Cover just hanging on at the top staple. Small chunk out of bottom right corner. Lots of wear but a decent reader if you are careful with it. Supple interior pages. $35.

SOLD! Vault of Horror #1-29 Probably the toughest and most expensive of the EC horror runs to complete. Unless you got real deep pockets, this set is for you. And what a great set of Johnny Craig covers. The Wishing Well, The Ax in the Head, The arm hanging in the subway and the unforgettable Merry Christmas cover. If I didn't have the greatest majority of the originals now, I'd probably have to be content with these. $50.

Vault #38 also goes to KirbyJack. Thank you sir! (Why not buy a whole run to read in your crypt?)

Crypt #36 goes to KirbyJack. A man who appreciates the good stuff!

SOLD! Tales from the Crypt #1-29 The "flagship" EC horror title. The ones the dealers get the most questions about these days. The TV show really put this title on the map. My favorite cover #23. Man, being locked in the crypt by this "thing" twisted me hard when I first saw it as a kid. Again, just think, you can have the whole run for LESS than just one original... $50.

SOLD! OK, the ones everybody wants, the horror titles! Haunt of Fear #1-28 Graham Ingels baby. Some of my favorite Feldstein covers as well. Sick, twisted tales that kept many kids up at night. I know I was profoundly influenced by these books. So many off the hook covers and the art is great. Maybe my favorite of the horror ones. $50.

SOLD! MAD #11 May 1954 CLASSIC Wolverton cover! Also 6 pages inside. Sexy Flesh Garden story by Wood as well. Cover neatly split to bottom staple and bottom staple popped. Small chip out of bottom right corner. A few small edge tears and light general wear. Even if you don't like MAD, every collector should own a copy of this! $50.
