Seems like an age since I bought this but it finally arrived.

This is the last in the EC "Weird..." range and the last pre-code EC SF book.

This is a classic Frazetta cover, and this copy was in the best condition of any  I have seen for sale so am very glad to get it!

Congrats on getting such a nice copy!  Mine's a rag by comparison, LOL!  That June 1955 cover date has to be the latest W/O the code seal of any comic book of the period.  Most had the seal beginning with the March 1955 issues, but I think EC pushed it with one or two other titles for a month more.

I confess to not knowing what is going on on this cover. Is he a salesman or is that a box of chocolates on the ground by the door? I’m sure if I had this book and read it I would have figured it out by now, but from just staring at the cover I have no clue. Can anyone enlighten?

I’ve not read it yet either.  Maybe the chocolates were poisoned and he ate them?

No, I just looked at my copy; the second story, illustrated by Jack Kamin, is titled, "The Trap", and there's a panel showing this scene from a distance, like from an upper  story window.  It's a life insurance scam plot, and he ain't dead...YET, eh eh.

Here are two of my most recent acquisitions. These were both on my top 10 for quite some time and I couldn’t be more excited to add them to my collection. Big thanks to @Polonsky on the FAC20.

Very nice I've owned a FAC # 20 for many years but have never landed a CoC # 19.

Thanks. I’ve been a Misfits fan forever so the CoC19 cover has always been high on my list. I probably waited too long to finally pick one up but that’s the way it goes. :headbang:
