jimjum12 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 At WonderCon (Anaheim), and there's a solid selection of EC's across the board. In contrast to prior conventions, Gaines' copies are noticeably absent. ..... nice Spring weather too, I would imagine GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC ed Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 In honor of the weekend's events, I thought I'd take shots of a 6 page EC story that has interesting parallels to the story of Christ ...from Weird Science #13, "He Walked Among Us." -script by Feldstein, pencils and inks by Wood, colors by Severin From Wikipedia: "He Walked Among Us" (#13) was a take on organized religion in which a Christ-like astronaut helps the impoverished populace of an alien world but is killed by those in power, prompting the birth of a religion. Enjoy the read, and Happy Easter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 "He Walked Among Us" is probably EC's most memorable "swipe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Took me quite a while to find a high grade copy of this black cover... What is the drug story in this one like? A Krigstein classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 True on all counts for these EC love books. No Gaines file copies - I guess we know how Bill felt about em. Definitely not part of the precious. Well, then, Mr. Gaines, challenge accepted. OS has this one as scarce, and I would agree with them and sacentaur. Nice to see the Crippen again. Hard to believe it's been almost 10 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hap Hazard Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 here's some more samples of EC Romance books, definitely tougher to find in decent shape these samples will show that, but still happy to have them. Saddle Romances # 9,10 and 11 then issue 12 morphs into Weird Science which I believe I've already scanned a month or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitterOldMan Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 There were five paperbacks printed in the sixties with EC reprints. The two above and these three. The covers to the last two were painted by Frazetta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitterOldMan Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 looks like I was to slow in my scanning, tomorrow midnight is the one I still need. I took a shortcut and pulled pictures off wikipedia. Thanks for sharing your scans. My copy of Tales of the Incredible is stored at a different location. I remember these paperbacks from my childhood and soon afterwards the Batman Signet reprints. Back then, 50 cents was a small fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Roger Hill used that great Frazetta sci-fi illo on the cover of his EC fanzine, EC Fan-Addict Fanzine #2. I asked him if the drawing had ever seen print anywhere else, besides the Ballantine paperback, and he said it hadn't. So, if you want the best reproduction of that illo in existence, you'll need to pick up a copy of the EC fanzine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hap Hazard Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I can't recommend those enough both issues are a great read, hopefully issue three will be coming out soon. I believe Roger sells them on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
