Robot Man Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Bumped into this cool EC first issue locally. It was cheap and I didn't have it so I hopped all over it. Been a long time since I had one. I had forgotton about this killer Feldstein splash. Love the way he signed his name... KirbyJack, Larryw7 and sacentaur 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-Fisted Tales is "slow" compared to EC's sci-fi and horror stuff, but I enjoy the title a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I love Two Fisted and Frontline a lot as well. A welcome relief to the horror and sci fi titles. I've been picking up solid readers for about a year when they pop up and almost have both runs complete. The stories and art are off the hook. Best war books ever. If you haven't dabbled, you're missing out. Ken Aldred and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my first Tales from the Crypt in 2009, a raw VF+ copy of 42 I found on eBay (surprisingly it was accurately graded - came back 8.5). I decided I would put together the entire TFTC set in 8.0 or above, starting with CP 15. After collecting Silver Age Marvels, I was looking for a challenge - books that don’t just come along every week in auctions or dealer sites. I loved scaring myself with the HBO show in the 90s, so it seemed like the right title to go after. I paced myself, expanded into other EC titles (still missing about 20 books in the other crime/ horror/ sci-fi titles), and found my way on to these boards along the way. I’ve made friends here, and when I’m excited about a recent purchase or want to discuss these great comics, this is where I come. Thanks everyone for the support and encouragement along the way! That is amazing! What a great set. Big congrats. You chose an excellent title to go after. Well done. So of the lot, do you have a favorite issue? How about your top 3?

Think what that would go for if it wasn't an EC? I was fortunate to see the original art at SDCC for sale once. Luckily, WAY out of my price range as my wife as cool as she is, probably wouldn't let me hang it in the house... Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Have always wanted this book. Don't know why it took me so long to get one. Love how the corpse is winking at you. Like an unspoken nod to all the kids and fans back in the 50's that "got it" and knew that these books were just innocent fun reading enjoyment. As opposed to the groups that were trying to ban them for corrupting the youth! Robot Man, originalisbest and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
