Here is one that came today! I just couldn't resist the cover on this one. I'm bummed about the writing on the cover, but the rest of the book looks great.

Great pickup! :applause:

PWOG has the bug! :winkgrin:

Nice book that presents very well. The pencil has minimal impact on eye appeal or grade IMO.

Only EC could make a sexy drowning/strangulation cover. :applause:

Thanks! I agree, I think the cover is so striking that the title and therefore the writing kind of disappears...

Oh and I do have the bug. :stircrazy:

I don't think the writing detracts at all. Great book! Oh, and they have medication for that bug of yours... :sick:

I find that arrival dates on comics actually add a lot to them. I'm guessing that the corner store wrote that on the cover when the comic arrived in the 50s. For lower grade readers I think the arrival dates actual add something to the book. Afterall, these were meant to be read.

Speaking of writing, some guy scribbled his name on this one, but I think I can live with it. :winkgrin:

My first and only EC comic just in a few weeks ago. If I'd seen the missing BC corner I wouldn't have purchased it, but that's what I get for not asking for a scan.

Still a nice book. Great cover. :applause:

I was going to show off my new copy of SSS 6, but after mikes 8.5, mine would be kinda lame. :lol:

pwog · **Posted:** Sep 14, 2012 3:47 PM

Ecs are never lame - show it off!

How about an EC homage? I used the sellers image (haven't received it yet and yes - it's a modern) :lol:

Niro · **Joined:** Aug 27, 2012 6:19 AM **Posts:** 71

haha now thats what I call a proper variant cover

pwog · **Posted:** Sep 15, 2012 4:46 PM

LOL. I just bought the same book and waiting for it to arrive. Too funny, but great homage!

I've gotten in a coupla ECs over the last few months... Just now getting around to posting them

pwog · **Posted:** Nov 01, 2012 6:42 PM

Awesome books! Great cover art as well, but then again they are ECs. :applause:

Ditto, great pickups all! :applause:

Weird Fantasy #21 is one of my favorite ECs of all time. Fantastic cover and stories (the Bradbury one in particular).

I've always thought that Haunt of Fear had a really nice cover. Love the details, the rich use of black inks by Ingels and the old European feel to the setting. Seeing a higher-grade copy makes me want to get one, too.

Really nice books, Cimm! Nice condition too. :applause:

Now that enough time has elapsed since Mike posted his, I can do the walk of shame...

:winkgrin:
