Marty Mann Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 While going through my EC's I'm finding all sorts of stories I had forgotten! https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1511/24518255182_a083fc4e37_z.jpg' alt='24518255182_a083fc4e37_z.jpg'>IMG SPLASH PAGE FROM CRYPT OF TERROR #19 mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I have always loved Crypt #24. He is more of just a corpse though. #23 is my top favorite Feldstein Crypt cover though. Seems zombies and werewolves ruled the early horror books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Here's my #23 Another Feldstein corpse cover. Scared the outta me when I first saw it as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight rider Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Does there exist a database on existing original EC artwork and current values?I would be very interested to see what can be identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Mann Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Unfortunately here is another early EC that suffered from getting wet. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3806/9294243158_d2dd0e9707_z.jpg' alt='9294243158_d2dd0e9707_z.jpg'>IMG HAUNT OF FEAR #15 (#1) 1950 mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngelsFan Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 This is the list I posted on another thread, from the EC Yahoo Group, of the EC original art that was detroyed in a house fire a few years back. Aside from these, the rest of the art should exist (although I have specific pages I've been searching for over a decade, with no luck). Current values would be tricky.

sacentaur Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 That's such a shame - any details/backstory on the fire? Also, just curious what are those pages you've been searching for - maybe post a list, and perhaps someone here could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngelsFan Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 The tragic fire happened in December, 2010 at the home of longtime collector Don Lineberger. I never had the chance to meet Don, but he was well thought of by a lot of the people that were posting about it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngelsFan Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 The three pages at the top of my want list are the last page of "Mausoleum" by Craig from Vault of Horror #29, the last page to "Surprise Party", also by Craig from Vault #37, and the last page of "Squash...Anyone?" by Ingels from Tales From The Crypt #32. Oddly enough I missed out on two chances to buy the Ingels page in 2004/5 and now it has disappeared. If anyone knows where any of these are, I would appreciate any leads!

IngelsFan Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Can anyone enlighten me about this DVD? Tales From the Crypt DVD These always list from $50-75. Has anyone watched this? Why the high price tag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 It's a history of the EC comics, and the HBO series. It has interviews with Feldstein, Jack Davis, Ray Bradbury and some other EC alumni. It's very good, but I personally don't think it's worth 75 bucks. There's too much time wasted on the television show, and not enough on the comics.

sacentaur Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 CSS 22 remains a hot book (wish I had one!) even after significant price increases; any thoughts on what specific issue(s) of EC have potential to similarly trend upwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalisbest Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Would imagine, anyway, that CSS 17 and 20 have breakout potential. SSS #6, 12 sort of the same thing, though #6 gets a lot of attention lately. There are a ton of EC classic covers that I love, not sure what exactly would bump them to classic cover status vs all their peers -- but I've always loved Crypt 23 and 24.

Robot Man Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Yeah Crime Suspense #17,20 and 22 are great And, I have to throw these two on the list too! Oddly, all Johnny Craig covers... Crypt #23 is probably my favorite from that title Edited February 2, 2016 by Robot Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I nominate these two for "classic cover" status... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Crypt #23 is probably my favorite from that title Mine too, but it doesn't have that over-the-top sensationalism of a CSS 22. CSS 17 and 20 are good candidates. VOH 35 may be be the next contender - it doesn't show you the gore, but instead takes the Hitchcock-ian approach (you know what's coming). Being a Christmas cover too, the contrast is quite striking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
