selegue Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 ....while i had to thin out a number of pre-code books years ago...some just would not let me say 'good bye' like this little series... Silicon monsters -- woo-hoo! Does the story use the "silicon is just like carbon but heavier" stupid chemistry trick? (Anyone have it scanned?) Another expensive one for the want list *CHOKE*. Lou Cameron imitating Basil Wolverton on the cover? Nice run! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frisco Larson Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I had that one years and years ago, but don't remember the details of the story. I think I traded mine away on a Freakies cereal box ?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks to P5 for the following Christmas present: It will look great next to my Phantom Strangers... Where were you Jon when I needed that issue for my collection? Thankfully I got mine ... but it's not as nice Great present you got there Piper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 The zombie story inside is a masterpiece! I was totally shocked to find it in an ACG! Could it be this company has been unfairly overlooked? ACGs are generally much more tame the competition, both in terms of the art and story themes. They had a large enough output, however, that there are both excellent issues and excellent stories amongst their different titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 a little pre-code stuff.. It really doesn't get much better than this gem of an LB Cole cover. It's clearly a redesign of his 50s Suspense 8 -- do you have a copy of that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Are the stories as "good" as the covers? It's interesting that all the covers are black. I believe there are Lou Cameron sci-fi stories in all three and I think any comic with a Cameron story is worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Vault is my favorite EC run based on covers. The other guys may be more fancy, but his covers are just wonderful for that book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
