For the longest time the only two Haunts that I had were 17 and 18.

But recently I got the cover art for 20...

Very nice. Haunt 17 is at the top of the horror heap.

Here's another classic Ingels cover from the Haunt of Fear run... this one came from an original owner EC collection I picked up in PA 20 years ago...

Beauty.

Some pre trend ECs at CalCon this weekend. The Fat and Slat 2 has a great cover and was only $15. HAD to buy it!

Nice pick-ups!  There was a period in the 2000s when I set out to try to accumulate a complete set of VF or better pre-trend ECs.  Gaines file copies were flooding the market at the time and putting downward pressure on New Trend pricing... but there were no Gaines file copies of most of the pre-trend books and so I thought they had a lot of potential.  Plus I thought they were pretty cool!  Think I picked up about 30 or 40 of them, but like most of my collecting goals, other areas soon drew my attention and so its yet another goal of mine that remains unfinished! :pullhair:

I need to bump this thread back to the first page. I caught EC fever, and wanted to share. Unfortunately the TFTC 46 is impossible to find in nice grade for a reasonable price.

Nice.  I've always loved #39 since the first time I saw it.  I know the kids' lives are in danger, but the looks on their faces still make me smile. lol.

Tashen has a "flash" SALE on "the history of ec comics" on their website...it 40% off at $120....this is a great book, they also have a flash sale of Marvel Comics Library spiderman at 50% off or only $100, both excellent books with my highest recommendation 

Wish I had seen this -- I would've bought one.  Too late now, I guess.  :frustrated:

One of my favorite Craig covers. I love the perspective and the uncommon color scheme.

Was happy to pick this one up in an "October" thread a year and a half ago.

Classic issue. The original is so much better than Marie’s re-color for the hardback reprint.

I agree. I also didn't know that she's the one that did the colors on the reprint (assuming you mean the one with a white ceiling and light blue or grey walls).
