Popular Post OtherEric Posted September 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2022 So, was just thinking about EC's, as I'm prone to do. One of the traditional bits of comic book trivia in fandom is Blackstone the Magician Detective Fights Crime is the longest comic title ever, or at least of the golden and silver ages. Yet... Blackstone the Magician Detective Fights Crime Three Dimensional Tales from the Crypt of Terror Picture Stories from the Bible Complete New Testament Edition It's in third place even among EC titles! (This is what happens when I have insomnia and am up late looking at my EC's...) damonwad, Jayman, Raze and 4 others 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post damonwad Posted September 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2022 A couple more TFT's. I'm a sucker for a sad dog story, so Hungnam! is my favorite in #26. Not the prettiest example of the splash page though, with the ink transfer and off register colors.

jimbo_7071 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Can someone please tell me where the name Squa Tront came from? I thought someone in this thread would know if anyone does. A quick Duck-Duck-Go search didn't get me the answer.

Off the top of my head I don’t remember the issue (I think it was a Weird Fantasy story?) but the aliens said Squa Tront and Spa Fon.

I think it was multiple issues, but the most famous is probably Weird Fantasy #17: They’re traditionally described as “Good Lord!” In Martian and Vesuvian in some order, but I have no idea which is which.
