cheetah Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks, guys. I really like them for the history. They mark ECs transition into the horror genre and, like Bill said, they are exceptional copies. In hand, they look brand new. I don't think I have ever had books that scanned as cleanly and clearly as these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I like these two in particular. I never paid much attention to the CP 16, but after seeing your copy I need to get one. I love the rain and lightning in the background, a second before the room goes dark. Very cool. Notice the use of "SuspenStory" (first use?) in the textbox too, very cool!

telerites Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Recent pickup A beauty, Josh. If and when I finish my Nedor collection, Aces. I've started with some Four Favorites and Super-Mysterys already. Neat books for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telerites Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Not really comics but I won some bulk lots in a recent HA weekly auction. One was for a box pulps and the other was for a box fanzines. I haven't gone through all of them but I love this stuff. Fanzines include issues of ERB-DOM, several issues of RBCC and Comic Book Marketplace (including a nice copy of #2). Looking through some of the ads and stories brings back many memories and regrets. A couple of pics from the auctions - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 My first - and probably only ever - Church pedigree EC. Ah, that wonderful 'Mile High' smell! Thanks to Billy Parker (you magnificent collector, you!), I keep stumbling across (and scooping up when the price is right) one pedigree copy as I continue to build the EC collection. So far I have: Church, Spokane, Gaines, White Mountain, River City, and Vancouver. Have seen some Cosmic Aeroplanes, and there's other pedigrees I'm overlooking (Circle 8?), but as they come along I'll pick one up of each...
