For some unfathomable reason, OS is lists Eerie 1 as the 1st "supernatural" comic and Adventures Into The Unknown 1 as the first continuing series "supernatural" comic. OS lists the two EC books, Vault Of Horror 12 (April '50) and Crypt Of Terror 17 (also April '50) as tieing for the first horror comic. And Marvel Tales 93 from August 1949 is completely ignored in any historical cntext and just "horror/weird" tales. This is utter nonsense and I would LOVE to know the reasoning and motivation behind this. We have Supernatural, Horror and Weird all being used to define the early horror books, but used in such a way as the shift the credit to EC.

 

Maybe this should be added into our Overstreet Errata List

 

Arty - you be riight, and I will prepare something with appropriate OS page numbers to reference etc. Now I am in work but have to wonder, if the name of the OS "top ten" listing is Top Ten Horror, why would Eerie 1 be listed as #2? Yet another error - IF that listing is "Top Ten Horror".

i think we have hi jacked this thread

 

I do not consider posting a bunch of awesome images high jacking a thread. Think of it this way, you are trying to help me along in my decision to venture into the realms of GA horror books. Which by the way, you are doing an excellent job, so keep up the good work.

Shield - you created the GA Cigar folder and you're specualting on its use? Actually, your description starts out as a place to "show off your GA books".

 

OK - I have been playing around with you BUT - these splash pages are probably gonna get lost inside this Eerie #1 folder. They deserve a better resting place!
