I’m still missing Crime Patrol 15, Moon Girl 5 and Shock Illustrated 3. And unlikely at this point to have them. And like many of you here, mine are a million miles away from 9.2. I just consider myself very fortunate to have what I have.

And, unless I am probably missing something, why is Shock 15 on that list? 

I think you mean 14, use in Senate Subcommittee investigations

That Crime Suspense 17 really brings back memories. Was one of the first ECs I ever found. Pulled it out of a pile at a flea market in my early teens. Was just shocking to a kid with a steady diet of Jimmy Olsen and Spiderman…

Yours is closer to what was supposed to be covered, Vol. 1 No. 15 (Formally Vault of Horror) Mine the registration was off and you can clearly see it.

Works for me!  :wink:

The HOF 12 I just got is an OSPG "Classic Cover" ... but CGC doesn't put it on the label ..... heck, more EC's are probably classic than not.... GOD BLESS....

I agree. You may remember just how lame the creator and key comments were on the old CGC labels. It was a travesty...

I don’t think the colors are faded. Here are 2 Gaines Files copies of Weird Fantasy 15 from the Heritage archive that shows a purple cover and a blue cover.

If we assume there has not been any fading in these GF copies, I believe the difference is due to the slight variation in the mixing of the printing inks. Since comics were printed using a 4 color CMYK process (cyan, magenta, yellow & black), a slight variation in the ratio in one of the inks will make a visible difference in the color. I tried to duplicate the cover colors using a CMYK blender. For example if the ratio of the cyan ink is changed (by mixing up ratios), purplish color can turn into bluish color. So less rigorous print quality control might explain the prevalent cover color variations in Fiction House books and other comics that people have discussed previously.

An excellent example of how different color variations can happen during the printing process... :foryou:
