I still think Panic is a horribly underrated title, punished for several bland covers and a failure to actually be MAD.

Popular Post OtherEric Posted March 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2020 And my EC book for the day. I wasn't sure I would be able to get anything for a couple more weeks, but a fairly low bid brought this one home. I'm now at the halfway mark for Shock Suspenstories! This one actually presents a bit worse than I think it is; it's a very solid copy other than the obvious flaws.

Robot Man Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Congrats on another one checked off the list! I am one short of my run. Seems like I haven’t added any in a long time. No shows and very little in the way of “the right” copies turning up lately. I just have to be patient and wait this mess out. One thing this has done for me is to slow down and enjoy what I slready have. Raze and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marty Mann Posted March 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2020 A lot of my EC's are remainders that I bought from a corner store in the early 50's. IngelsFan, Raze, fifties and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two nickels or a dime would have paid for two phone calls, or two ice cream cones, or a glass bottle of Coca Cola, with three cents back. Or a ten cent bag of popcorn at the movies (once you paid your quarter to get in). Raze and Marty Mann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Congrats! Two great issues. Sadly, I haven’t been able to add to my EC collection for a while. I guess I take them for granted until issues I want in the grade I want have kind of dried up. Illustrious and Raze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OtherEric Posted April 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2020 So, some of you may recall asking about Shock Suspenstories #6 a few weeks ago; I was wondering if the book had reached the point where grabbing a decent presenting 1.8 for around $600 might be my only option at getting the book given how crazy it was getting. I also had some money from the cancelled ECCC to use. @EC ed messaged me with an even better idea: buy a significantly better copy from him for not a lot more money. He sold it to me as a 4.0; with some unnecessary tape on the inside front cover I think that's a fair (if extremely conservative) grade; but it looks great for that grade. Super happy to finally get this one; given that I'm not particularly trying for more than examples from the horror books and Crime Suspenstories; this was far and away the biggest obstacle to me putting together runs of the EC books I want. Some of the early SF books will be tricky, but nowhere near to the obstacle this one could have wound up as.
