I actually purchased one of those “reprint” books. I saw this one listed. Can’t find an original and just thought I’d try one out. Quality isn’t very sharp. It is just a color copy after all. Acceptable though if you just want to read a copy of a book you might not be able to find or afford. On the bright side, it does have blinding white pages. Nothing wrong with a reprint, took me 30 years to bag a copy. OtherEric, Point Five, ThothAmon and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one must be in the public domain category now, and would seem to be one of the few EC's that is. Thumbs up! I wondered about copyrights as well. I know MAD is still owned by Warner I believe. Even if they are doing only reprints. It falls under the EC umbrella. Maybe this title wasn’t renewed. Only EC I have noticed. I actually had a choice. There is a coverless copy on the board for $39. Or this for $8. So I went the cheap route. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantodude Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) Hmm. I need to update my Overstreet, too. But I think I'm gonna wait for the cover to feature the one that started it all. Maybe the next edition? Nah, we need more color! If they come out with a Haunt of Fear #17 cover, I'll likely bite on that one. Maybe they already did this one? That would be cool.

Popular Post KirbyJack Posted March 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2022 Always been partial to this Haunt of Fear 17; first cover appearances for each (if you don’t count HOF 15). Weird, Point Five, Raze and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 EC's are definitely drying up at affordable prices for me. But I went ahead and got this one, it will do indefinitely... although I'm definitely going to keep my eyes open. Interior is just fine, so maybe I'll be able to get an incomplete copy to marry the cover. Now I just need #18 to finish the Shock Suspenstories run.

KirbyJack Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 A cheap copy ($500?) popped up here on the boards recently, but I couldn’t quite pull the trigger. I was in the middle of my WS16/WSF29 negotiations. I’m happy, but I’ve no doubt that history will prove I chose the wrong deal. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A careful examination of the comic in this ad proves something I’ve long suspected; EC’s come from the printer with bent pages and pieces out!

Popular Post Raze Posted April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2022 I went to a fun show last Sunday and got some EC reprints! Since these are going for $50+ in some cases I thought Id get the big keys! Also got a copy of TFTC book on ebay a few weeks back for considerably cheaper than recent sales.
