I remember back around the mid-late '70's, one time when we went to the Saugus swap meet. There was a guy who had a metal rack, displaying beautiful condition EC horror titles. I just didn't have the scratch at the time. 8 bucks each. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old comics and pulps were all over there in the late ‘60’s-‘70’s. Swap meets, garage sales, estate sales and flea markets are pretty dim for that stuff now.

Popular Post damonwad Posted January 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2022 I've always liked this Evans/Marie Severin cover and the Kamen story is my favorite of a good bunch. OtherEric, conan09279, IngelsFan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post damonwad Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 The last two issues of Weird Science. I'm not the biggest fan of Wood's cover on #22 but I love his cover for #21. Pretty Williamson/Frazetta work in the #21 and the Feldstein/Wood "My World" story in #22 was a memorable one.

KirbyJack Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) When Russ Heath brought in the pages to OAAW 244, everyone in the DC offices stopped what they were doing to admire them. I can imagine a similar situation at EC. Edited January 18, 2022 by KirbyJack EC on my mind! Larryw7 and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone with photoshop skills could decently approximate the FF214 cover with those two panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post EC ed Posted January 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2022 After not really buying much last year, I just brought in what's sure to be my biggest upgrade haul of 2022 !! It's extra special, because the books come from one of my dearest collecting buddies of all time The International Comics #4 used to be my copy, then I downgraded (bad decision ) - happy to bring the old copy back home after a few years away . As far as I know, the TFTC #33 (which happens to be the Northford copy) is my first "Dallas Stephens" book (a collection that Chuck R. marketed back in the early 2000s). Excuse, me...I need to go sell some books now .... OtherEric, goldust40, grendelbo and 10 others 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red planet with the zipatone overlay here is super distinctive. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
