Squa Tront EC fanzine, Promethean Enterprises, Third Rail, and a Blazing Combat all walk into a bar… 2 2

[oceans11]

Picked up a nice small collection of the very cool EC related fanzine Squa Tront, a couple other fanzines, and a nice copy of Blazing Combat and with the artists featured  I figured I'd offer them here first and see if there was any interest. It's not your standard comic book material but they all deal with comic artists. All are magazine size publictions.

And that is everything. I know it's a little outside of the normal comics that show up here but figured they were cool enough to offer up on the boards. I'll leave this up for a day to see if there is any interest. Thank you for looking .

Winner JRBaxter -Squa Tront 5.

Had to update as Blazing Combat 1 was claimed by pm before the “take it”in the thread and I hadn’t seen it originally. Apologies for any confusion . 

These EC  fanzines are incredibly cool and have some cool info and art in them. Plus the print runs on those first few issues is fairly low being in the 1000 -2000 range.
