Amazing Adventures 25 - I bought this copy from Max Rodel off of ebay. Max sends along a signed certificate for all of his OO books. Kind of a nice touch.

Four more books to come in my Amazing Adventures run, then maybe back to some golden age books.

I like Wood's work on the EC comics but I've found myself liking Jack Davis' work the best. Lots of fun stuff in all the titles Gaines produced.

I think Jack was a much better horror cover artist and I doubt Feldstein or Gaines would disagree as they seldom used Wood for their horror titles. I had completely forgotten about the two ToC covers Wood did until seeing you post the scans. For the sci-fi genre, I prefer Wood's work.

It's really hard to not find something to like with nearly all the EC covers. They are pretty infectious.

Tales from the Crypt 30

 

This is a freakingly awesome cover. Can you imagine explaining this to a 5 year old at the drug store?

 

 

anyone know who handled the coloring for EC in this period? Jack Davis linework is amazing, but the muted colors are what sell the image. Was it Joe Orlando/ or some anonymous bullpenner?

Marie Severin was doing the coloring at this time and it's when she was really starting to hit stride. As cheetah mentioned, EC had a stable of great artists so to have the work complemented by some of the finest color designs made for an astonishing array of output that, perhaps, has been equaled but has certainly not been bettered.

Time for some old-fashioned war comics, Fiction House's Wings Comics. A lot of great covers and an interesting evolution of covers as times and interests changed.

 

I'm nowhere close to complete on this title but it will still take a week to get through. Enjoy!
