Popular Post The Commissioner Posted September 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) 3rd EC purchase for me.

Popular Post Raze Posted September 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2022 This is not an official EC but for $2 bought it. Plus this thread is on page 2?! Whats going on around here? Unfortunately my 2nd hobby has been consuming to much of my time and money as of late. That other hobby is Bourbon/Whiskey. For the last month Ive been working 60+ hours a week and have spent over $400 on Bourbon/Whiskey, that could have been money towards a NICE EC book. Im still able to bid on some EC books but have lost a lot lately. KirbyJack, Larryw7, OtherEric and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Wow. Been reading EC comics through some recently purchased Russ Cochrane collections, and I am loving the stories. Going through Shock Suspenstories and Crime Suspenstories. I am curious if there is a title you would suggest I look for next. Wish I bought more of these when I was younger! Can’t afford to buy the originals now, but love these collected works. Larryw7, OtherEric and Raze 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really can’t go wrong with any of them, but I think EC war is the best of the best. Frontline Combat or Two-Fisted Tales is my vote.

Frontline Combat or Two-Fisted Tales is my vote. Those are the only two others I picked up a few years ago, read and unfortunately sold them. Regret it now, and thinking of getting them back. Great reads there and would easily go through those again. Bought them with all the Carl Barks libraries from a local collector. Now, I am eyeing all the horror/science fiction titles.
