Anyone have a Tales Of Terror Annual #1 they'd like to loan or sell me? :signofftopic:

I'd love to own a copy of this. What a lovely book, it would look so good in a Mylar, and some great stories inside as well. What a cover!!

Got myself a small batch of 4 ECs this week. All are coverless but the innards are decent enough with no issues. All are readable & enjoyable. What's not to love about a coverless EC? :)

Here is the first of them.

My newest EC just arrived this week.Never read the reprint of this one, the "freshest" EC in my collection.. Always wanted to read an original fresh

Always loved that George Evans cover. Very under-rated artist compared to some.

It is, and rather risqué - for ec or anyone else - especially considering the time period!

EC would push that envelope, esp in Shock SS and Crime SS; promiscuity, carnal knowledge involving a minor, infidelity, prejudice, in the early '50's, way ahead of the times.

I prefer the Crime & Shock stories. More ground breaking and less predictable than the horror EC titles. Just darn good yarns. I still love the horror titles as well. I'd place the flagship titles in this order personally;

CSS

SS

VOH

HOF

TFTC

 

And then of course the Sci-FI/War titles are something else as well. EC will always be the best comic book stories written over that period for my money.

About half of my EC collection are remainder copies...but they still make good reading!

So Marty, did you get these, "back in the day", when they were returned to the distributors?
