My latest magazine find! Crowley's inside!

[The Troll King]

I haven't shown this before but a few months ago I picked up the Crowley copy of Crime Illustrated #1. This is my FAVORITE EC cover of any of them!

 

 

 

 

And, what I'm really excited about is I've not been able to add the Crowley copy of Terror Illustrated #1 to my collection also!

I have always loved those EC mags since before I was even a mag collector.

I wonder if these books gave Warren the idea to use a magazine format to avoid the comic code.

I've heard that was the case.

Well, the only way around the code was to make a magazine sized comic, so I dont know if we can say Warren directly borrowed the idea from EC. It was one of those simple facts, to beat the code make it a magazine.

Those are great mags... you got them for relative bargain prices, as well. Lucky dog! Congrats.

i had not seen those before. are they hard to find in lower grades? how long did EC do those? are they fully illustrated on the inside like Creepy, et al.?

I've never opened a raw one

 

I've seen them from time to time... specifically when I was in Baltimore I saw a few of them at the con.

 

There is an EC Archive set of these that I plan on buying in a couple of weeks:
