Hi everyone,

 

I'm new to the boards and just wanted to make a quick post to introduce myself. My name is Nick, I'm from England in the UK and am a huge fan of (and collector of) pre-code horror and crime comics. Though I'm mostly interested in horror, specifically.

 

My all-time favourite comic book publishing company is E.C. and I adore their horror and crime comics in particular.

 

 

What got me into horror comics originally was the Stephen King/George A. Romero 1982 E.C. Comics tribute, "CREEPSHOW" - which was also my first horror film as a child and remains my favourite film to this day.

 

I'm pretty new to the whole CGC thing, and intend on getting some comics slabbed in the near future (how can I do this from the UK, btw?), though I've been aware of CGC for years of course - I suspect the vast majority of comic-book fans have!

 

I love reading up on the history of comic books, and am currently working my way through the Senate Subcommittee Investigation of Juvenile Delinquency in the United States transcripts (from thecomicbooks.com), and Fredric Wertham's book, "Seduction of the Innocent". A recently published edition - though I'd love to own an original first edition at some point!

 

Anyway, I think that's about it - just wanted to say 'hello!' :hi:

 

Any other pre-code horror fanatics here, let's have a show of hands! :grin:

Hi Nick, glad to have you on board. Collecting pre-code horror is expensive, altho' it is of course rewarding and fun. You're not after a Weird Mysteries 5, perchance? :whistle:
