It is hard to get your head around, certainly. It's a revered book but it has never exploded. IngelsFan and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, let me get this straight…someone paid a premium for a comic book not for a cover, or a first appearance, or pedigree, or variant rarity… but because they liked a fricken story?! In an ANTHOLOGY?!

In an ANTHOLOGY?! And if that happened, I could see somebody preferring the Yellow logo over the White, since the story is printed better in that version. (I know I deliberately got a yellow logo copy for that reason.) I'm just waiting for a seller to claim that Crime Suspenstories #26 should be considered the first appearance of the story because of the cover. On a side note, I really should grab a Crime Suspenstories #26 before it goes crazy like so many other EC's are these days...

While I don’t think they should be equal I think this issue has been unfairly left behind as the 22 skyrocketed. I am happy to see CSS 23 being more appreciated!

Popular Post Raze Posted May 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Why is this thread NOT on the 1st page?! Heres my newest EC. Ive been wanting one for awhile, so I overpaid on ebay for it. It was sold as a "Poor" condition so it meets my "low grade" standard Also I enjoyed a new Whiskey/Bourbon with this book E.H. Taylor Small Batch. I recommended it! Edited May 15, 2022 by Raze damonwad, Larryw7, OtherEric and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raze Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Hi guys. I was hoping someone could help with a few scans/pics of Weird Science 13 (2) last story “…the man who raced time” pages 5 & 6. I might be able to figure it out but if anyone has the book and time Id appreciate it! OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that'll do I'll take some shots in the morning. It's a good story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
