Overstreet Price Guide #1 from 1970 $379, Action 8 $879, Psychoanalysis, EC's

Weird Fantasy #15, 1950. Good+. $75. Overall, a solid, non-brittle copy. Slight rust with migration at the staples. Has not migrated more since I purchased the book six years ago for $105 on ebay. I love Feldstein's cover on this one.

Hey, I was a contributor to #1. Cool book. Wish I still had mine!

 

How did you contribute? Any particular category or titles? Did you expect the guide to become the standard it has?

[TheSurgeon]

Shock Suspenstories #5. VG-. $49. Very solid comic, just well-read. Not brittle. Classic hanging cover with the story "Hate" about anti-Semitism. Shock is my 2nd favorite EC comic after "MD." I have all the comics in this series in a bound edition formally owned by Russ Cochran, so will try to sell my loose copies.

I contributed the Phantom Lady information. There were a lot unknowns back then and I had completed the set including All-Top.

Shock Suspenstories #16, Fine.- nice, solid mid grade copy. $50. SOLD!

I love this cover- colored by Severenson. This issue has the "Red Dupe" ad by Gaines imploring readers not to go along with the political winds against his EC comics- "Don't be a red dupe!"

haha - i was looking at it then I saw Ed had updated the thread. sure enough, he picked it up. great cover

[TheSurgeon]

Shock Suspenstories #14, FINE. $60. SOLD!

Another great cover. I have GFC of 14 and 16 both because of their covers and the material inside. SInce I also have the bound volume, I think I won't feel too regretful selling these. 14 has the classic story "the Orphan" which I believe was used in SOTI and I also think it was mentioned during the interrogation of Gaines during the Senate hearings. Overstreet notes that it was used in the Senate hearings.

 

I can't figure out how to do the "spoiler" option to hide the final photo in this thread. How do you do that?
