KirbyJack Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I’m inclined to agree. In my first EC phase, I pursued the Suspenstories last. No such discrimination now! Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fifties Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2021 Couple of recent HA pickups. The Haunt 12 is an U/G. Cross posting from the recent precode purchases thread.

Robot Man Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Nice pickups! Love the Haunt mummy cover! Still lacking the Crypt 34 as well as 35 & 28 to be complete. All real common. Just waiting for the right copies at the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hap Hazard Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2021 Nice pick ups! I see your Haunt of Fear 11/12 1950 has a number 4 written on it. Most copies I see have the four written on the cover by the early EC collector. KirbyJack, vaultkeeper, Larryw7 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Funny thing. The first issue I ever got was ironically #1 and the last was #18. No, I didn’t buy them off the stands... OtherEric, Raze and conan09279 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Point Five Posted August 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2021 Since you're talking Shocks, here's my mini-run of #6 through #12. I was a huge fan of these books, particularly the stories about racism and other social issues. Most of these were picked up late 90s-early 00s. #6...

Popular Post Point Five Posted August 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2021 #9... one of my fave ECs of all time. The Ray Bradbury story by Jack Kamen, and "Carrion Death" by Reed Crandall, are particular classics.

When I was about 11 or 12 my uncle gave me about a dozen of his old ECs. I'd never read comics like this. This story really freaked me out. Actually gave me nightmares.
