Orlando's art on Harvest (#25) isn't my favorite, but Feldstein's --script made it the best story from this issue for me. I'm sure most would prefer the Williamson cover story though. Fifteen cents for a comic book? Ridiculous! Point Five and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted December 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2021 Just in time for Christmas, a cool end of the year package from boardie @Tombofdracula50. A lower grade copy of a book most of you wouldn’t give a second look at. This rather boring looking beater contains the origin and first appearance of EC’s only superhero I know of.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted December 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2021 And in the same package, another rather boring looking EC. Has a Moon Girl goes western story. And a couple cool Ingals stories. Jayman, grendelbo, damonwad and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fifties Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 This just in today. I now have the full runs of Weird Science, Crime & Shock SuspenStories, and just need the #1 of Weird Fantasy to complete that run. The horror titles will take a bit longer.

Popular Post The Commissioner Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 Picked this up at a show in October and finally got around to scanning it. This is my second E.C., both of which are Weird Fantasy. KirbyJack, fifties, Robot Man and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Two Fisted and Frontline Combat... I am one book short of completing the New Trend mainline titles. Still need a couple COT, Crime Patrol and War Against Crime. Those will be pricy.

You tell me... As answered in your other thread, The easiest way to tell is to simply place it on top of another Mad, published around the same period. If the other book has a spine roll, line the left side up so that it aligns with the others left FC side. The fanned pages seem to indicate that it has not been trimmed.

Raze Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 @fifties @Robot Man @Hap Hazard The reason I thought it might be trimmed is when you lay the book out flat the right side seems very uniform and does not splay out. Here is the picture it’s not the greatest but you can maybe see what I’m talking about. also thank you for everyone showing their MAD 5!!! Such a great cover!

The BC however seems inordinately wide; it should be just two hairs or so extended beyond the pages. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
