It's trumy amazing to see that you have finally completed the run in high grade! Congrats! Agreed, a beautiful run to enjoy as a whole this way. Mine is a mix of high and low, slabbed and unslabbed, I love all the issues! gojira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Glad you finally got this issue, Jay! I've had my copy since 1998 -- one of the first "real" Haunts I got. A wonderful Feldstein cover, one of my favorites from him! Edited March 28, 2018 by originalisbest Speling Jayman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robot Man Posted March 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2018 Been on quite the EC tear lately. This is what has landed in the junk pile in the past week.

originalisbest Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Good stuff! I have 7 of those gems in my collection. About 4 there that I'm focused on getting eventually. Favorite cover of that group is Haunt 14, closely followed by the Weird Sciences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 The one I was happiest to get was the Saddle Romances #11. Just impossible to find and I love the Feldstein girl art. The westerns can be tough too. My favorite covers in this bunch are Vault #13, Haunt #14 and Shock #17. And the Weird Sciences...I just love all those great Woody covers For some reason, I like the Sciences over the Fantasys a little better. I guess it's the Wood covers. originalisbest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalisbest Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Can't argue with any of that. I love EC Romance! Only have two, one coverless. Will have to get more (whenever they appear, which isn't often!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the one you mention that's pretty available on eBay, etc. is Modern Love #5 -- with "SHAME!" being the lead story splash -- I do have a coverless copy of that one. Thanks though for the heads up! I think it's really neat when a group of a given issue comes to light -- of course, if everything in that group is pretty good shape, it becomes a very common book (looking at you, THING! #16) but, suppose someone had needed a centerfold for their Modern Love #5 for years -- they're golden now!

Read the book in a reprint form, if not an original -- the pitchfork is meant for the scarecrow, but, of course, with an EC-twist forthcoming.

Robot Man Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 4 were boards buys and the rest were WonderCon buys. Probably the most ECs I've ever got at one time. KirbyJack and originalisbest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
