We can't have this forum falling off the first Golden Age page now can we? 

Just got in a couple of (not cheap) EC's, as I strive to get full runs of the horror titles.  Just now need TFTC 20 (1) and 21 (2), and Vault 12 (1).

Hummm, you might have to add War Against Crime 10 & 11, Crime Patrol 15 & 16 and Crypt of Terror #17-19 to that list if you really want to be complete…

Or two collectors had the same hole.  Or EC’s in general are red hot catching up with other PCH

The bidder that paid that is missing a screw in his noggin.  That hammer price looks to be about 10X FMV. 

Hmm, maybe I'll have this outfit auction some of my EC undercopies.

Well I just sold my 90% of my collection (all modern plus some toysI,  kept all my GA and ECs...DUH!) and got a little more than I was expecting! I was going to try and make the 5 hour trip from St Louis to Chicago but there is supposed to be bad weather most of the day tomorrow so I think Im not going.

So Ive been looking at a few ECs tonight and was wondering which had the better stories? Yes I know they are all good but here's a few books Im considering,

Weird Science 21 and 22

Weird Fantasy 12

VOH 21, 24, 28 

Weird Science fantasy 25

TFTC 45

Ive got a few options but Im leaning a little towards TFTC 45 and VOH 24 (unless someone has an extra VOH  21 PM me!) Or pick ups a few of the Obscure titles.

Let me know what you think!

Weird Science 22 has "My World", which is essentially a love letter to Wood's art written by Feldstein and drawn by Wood.  An absolute masterpiece.

It's a very different type of story, that's for sure.  Great artwork.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but personally I never liked Jack's horror covers. The early TFTC covers by Feldtstein and Wood have much greater visual appeal, IMO. 

Jack's forte was humor. His MAD stuff is incredible.

I feel similarly about Davis' horror covers. My favorite is 37, but the cover to 40 is almost funny. If, like me, you imagine the diver saying, "You got back issues?", you won't ever be able to unsee it. I don't have any obstacles with Davis' art while reading a story, tho. It's first rate work; and he is among my very favorite EC artists, maybe #1.
