It could almost be the Nazis and the Hitler youth.

That's a lot of good books being burned.  The craziest aspect may be that some of those kids could still be around and should be interviewed about "the day millions burned". lol.

No.  That was pre-retcon Donald.  He's back now, but not as powerful.

Just look at those faces. Those kids are possessed. How many became cult members? Never believe everything you are told. Question authority!

The Ten Cent plague covers a lot of stuff about the mass hysteria of the time whipped up about comic books.....thanks to our old mate Freddie.

Who would have thought that Lizzie Borden was a big EC fan. Appropriate that this is a trimmed copy.

That's neat, but a few things :

• The book is probably there because there's a story in that issue about a hatchet taking over the mind of someone and forcing them to kill people.  The story goes on to say the hatchet belonged to Lizzie Borden, so she's actually "in" the comic book and a main topic of the story.
• The sign says "nineteenth century artifacts", which obviously can't be true in the case of the comic since it came out in the 1950's.
• Lizzie herself could've never owned that book unless we're dealing with some real ghosts here since she died around 25-30 years before the comic book came out, but the sign does say the stuff there belonged to the "Borden family", so I'm guessing a family member later bought it and put it there after probably reading or hearing about the story.

Cool pic/find!

I know, I was just kidding. They have a copy in the house and a Russ Cochran copy in the gift shop. They weren’t here last time I was here so they must have added them recently. Pretty funny.

lol.  Sorry. I couldn't tell you were kidding.  My fault.

Did that book have a “Lizzie Borden collection” label on the slab?

It will eventually.

Crime Does Not Pay 58, 1947

This must be mentioned somewhere, but I just noticed it. Check out the name of the tenant of the apartment where the Jersey Kid hides out.

Subtle jab from Biro?

For those keeping track of such things, a new back cover version of E.C.'s 1947 giveaway "The Wonders of Wire Rope" has been found, the "Hazard Wire Rope" version.

There are now FIVE confirmed back cover variations for this early E.C. giveaway comic, which last I checked wasn't in the Overstreet Price Guide.

Cool find, but I doubt Bill Gaines was even on Biro’s radar at this point in time. This was on the stands only 2 months after M C Gaines died and Bill took over.
