This one was on my watch list for a couple of weeks. Glad it made its way to a board member. It’s a pretty copy. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really looks like them. RM, did you ever speak with your EC authority buddy whether he believes this is in fact supposed to be Feldstein and Gaines? Love that issue! Supposedly the “End of the Line” was a reference to the code coming in and effectively ending EC. Yeah, I showed him my copy. He wasn’t aware of it. He did agree that this seemed either a jab at them or a tribute. Raze, Larryw7 and Jayman 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue would have been on the stands around the time the Feldstein written Yellow Claw #1 was. Raze, Jayman and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky enough to have landed that one many years ago. But it was my first EC horror #1 and I was thrilled. In those days, we were all looking for #1-19 though. I was even more thrilled when I landed this one. Jayman, Mr. Lady Luck, OtherEric and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the brighter side.......I will definitely post some later tonight if I win. It will be my first ever EC purchase.

Popular Post Mr.Fantastic Posted April 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2021 Ok. Since you twisted my arm..........Here is win #1 and my first ever EC book. I decided to bid on covers I really liked and this was one of them. I hope the shade along the spine is due to scanner settings and not actually on the book, but either way I'm good. conan09279, Larryw7, Albert Thurgood and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr.Fantastic Posted April 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2021 Next up is a cover I have liked since I first started researching EC books, and one I'm sure you guys are familiar with Weird Fantasy 17. fifties, OtherEric, KirbyJack and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr.Fantastic Posted April 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2021 Third win tonight is another one of my favorite covers and comes from the VOH series. I think something was up with the scanners at CC as a lot of their books have shade on the edges. Raze, Larryw7, conan09279 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr.Fantastic Posted April 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) And last but not least is one of my all-time favorite covers in the EC universe. Like it so much I currently have it as my desktop background.

fifties Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I think you did very well. Now you just have to figure out how to make the car payment this month, LOL! So are you gonna leave them slabbed, or jailbreak them to read? Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
