By the time I found it and checked my want list, it was gone. You snooze you lose… On the bright side, I was able to grab a Happy Houligans #1 (origin Moon Girl) and Gunfighter #6 (Moon Girl story) as well as a cool Prize Christmas cover so thanks!

Popular Post Robot Man Posted December 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2021 Well, the tribe has spoken. I felt the same way when I bought it. A 2.0 with nice pages should be read and enjoyed not encased in a plastic tomb. Isn’t the first time I have desecrated a CGC slab and won’t be the last time. So tomorrow Moon Girl will breathe again! grendelbo, Point Five, Larryw7 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post damonwad Posted December 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2021 I've read all the Valor's and the first 4 of Piracy and have loved every issue. Here are the #1's with my favorite story from each. Larryw7, Point Five, adamstrange and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Do yourself a favor and grab Aces High as well. Classic WWI air tales and still VERY cheap. Stories are on par with Piracy and better than Valor in my opinion. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I MUCH prefer reading the EC originals over the reprints, so I'll wait until I can add them to the collection. Looking forward to reading them though.

Popular Post damonwad Posted December 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2021 I'm a western (and Severin) fan so I probably like these covers more than most people. The insides of these are decent enough, but a big drop-off from the issues written by Kurtzman. Raze, OtherEric, KirbyJack and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post damonwad Posted December 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2021 The sci-fi books are my favorite EC's and to me, this Feldstein cover is one of the best. The Williamson cover story is a standout too. Hutch88, Robot Man, Paul © ® ⚽️💙™ and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still good stuff, but as you say a big drop-off from the Kurtzman issues. damonwad, Larryw7, IngelsFan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fifties Posted December 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2021 Just in. Had to get duplicate copies of Weird Sci 8 & 13 in a group in order to get #7, so I'll be listing 13 FS if anybody is interested. The Crime SS 1 completes my run of the title (and yes, I double-checked to make damn sure I had all the issues, LOL!)

damonwad Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 A week before Christmas so I'll post this one that I picked up from one of catrick's cool sales threads. The 2 books with the Classics Illustrated rip off covers were printed in England in 1947 (with Gaines copyrights) and include the first two issues of Picture Stories From the Bible.
