LOL, that's like asking which M&M is the best tasting in the package. I really can't answer that for two reasons; one, storie(s) that I might like best may not appeal so much to you, and two, I simply can't remember. What I did was to obtain the reprinted EC entire Tales/Vault/Haunt runs, and in reading those determined which issues of the real deal I would go after, in addition to cover illustrations that I wanted.

It's a New Trend book, and I'm not sure what other clue I could give that wouldn't be too obvious. I'm sure if people keep guessing it will pop out at somebody.

Popular Post OtherEric Posted January 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Finally, my 150th New Trend/ New Direction EC: Three Dimensional Tales from the Crypt of Terror #2. This is significantly rarer than the #1 (Three Dimensional EC Classics), even if the Census numbers are about equal unslabbed copies are probably outnumbered about 8:1 from what I've seen. Even beyond that, it's rare in the sense it's one of only two New Trend/ New Direction books that have never been reprinted; along with the #1. There are scattered reprints of the stories, I believe, but it's never been reprinted as a single unit or in 3D. This, in addition to being #150 and putting me at just over half the books, gives me my 14th complete New Trend/ New Direction run. So I think it's a nice choice for the milestone. I'm slightly disappointed nobody got the "pop out" clue, though.

You don't need to have, I was trying to refer to the hands "popping out" of the book on the cover... and the 3d images in general. But enjoy the book I shall!

Now, semi-serious question: my copy of #1 had two loose pairs of the glasses (glasses only, no arms). Do I keep them both with the #1 or move one to go with the #2?

fifties Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Since the glasses are detached from each other (originally came attached along with the arms on one sheet) I would put one with each issue. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just for the sake of discussion, here is my list of the Top Ten EC horror-themed comics. I am weighing factors like historical importance, covers, first appearances, current heat, etc., to put them in monetary order. The funny part is, I have no inkling of what these books would actually fetch in the real world. Ergo, informed folks should have a chuckle at my expense. 10. Tales of Terror annual 2 9. Haunt of Fear 16 8. Tales From the Crypt 20 7. Vault of Horror 35 6. War Against Crime 10 5. Crime Suspenstories 22 4. Vault of Horror 12 3. Crime Patrol 15 2. Crypt of Terror 17 1.
