He was in the right place at the right time to hook up with the right people. Probably one of the best EC collections. I can’t even imagine what all he was able to collect. And a heck of a great guy.

Robot Man Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 On 3/3/2024 at 3:41 PM, OtherEric said: So, as promised, I went to the Oni Press panel at ECCC today, and did ask a couple questions. They're serious about presenting these as EC books, the issues won't even have an Oni logo on them. They're consciously trying to position themselves as "what sort of comics would EC be doing in 2024 if they hadn't disappeared", which is part of why they're doing new titles rather than just revivals of old ones. They weren't quite ready to announce the third title, but they did say it's in a genre that classic EC never exactly did, but it's adjacent. They are planning to do books that aren't anthologies as they go on. They said the books were going to be definitely R rated, which I didn't consider totally reassuring- more because saying something is R rated can mean too many different things, not all of them good. The elaborated by saying they felt current comics were too often playing it safe, looking for how can this become a movie or TV show or something else other than a comic, and that they wanted to feel a bit dangerous. I can get behind that idea a lot more. They are going to be using a font based directly on the Leroy Lettering, which is good... although I did tell them to make sure to switch to something else if they did wind up doing a war comic. Overall, I came away feeling like the project is being run by people who have a clear idea of what they want to do and a strong urge to be true to the spirit of the EC's, while not doing a simple homage. I'm not sure if they'll succeed, or even if success is possible 70 years later, but I do have the impression that they're coming at the project from a good angle, rather than just relying on people recognizing the names of the books. Anybody know when these will be hitting the racks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Vault 12 isn’t all that rare just expensive. Canadian issues are a lot tougher to find from a collecting perspective. The pre trend books are a lot harder to put a set together. The giveaways are near impossible. I’m pretty sure Roger had a complete set of all the newstand editions.

fifties Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Canadian editions of the EC Sci Fi fare had always been cheaper than the American printed ones, since they used inferior plates, and it showed with inferior printed pages. I'm not sure though if there's a discernable difference in the covers, which would really be all that matters in a slabbed copy. None of mine are slabbed, but I really don't see a difference in the covers, just the interior pages. Mmehdy and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked and couldn’t find it. Do you know what grade his was? I see this one in auction #7374 which, I think is the auction of his items based up on this link. Unlike other lots, though, the Tales of Terror Annual #1 lot doesn't say "From the Roger Hill Collection" in the description, so you probably won't get it if you just search for "Roger Hill". So I don't know if that's really from his collection or not. Edited May 9 by Telegan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
