It’s the only GA book I know of with a (mostly) blank cover. Mad 13 might also work. So it’s a natural candidate for sketching with a GA twist.

I was able to get the Panic 6 though and now think it probably looks better on the white background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 9 minutes ago, Robot Man said: A very spiritual place. We stopped in there when we were "junking" on the east coast one year. To the average person, it now looks like a peaceful place. While walking around I was shuffling my feet and several times I kicked up bullets and small metal parts of things like belt buckles and such. I had the weirdest feeling of great sadness. If any place on earth is haunted, that is one of them... one of the most haunting spots at Gettysburg ... 500 fell and died instantly in a straight line,....many of the bodies are still buried there in unmarked graves The Story of Iverson's Pits On July 1, 1863, the men of Alfred Iverson's North Carolina Brigade had arrived at Gettysburg and were preparing to outflank the Union First Corps at Oak Hill. This spot was the northernmost point of Seminary Ridge. They were formed into their line of battle and advanced towards a line of trees about 300 yds. away. The Brigade was made up of the 5th, 12th, 20th, and 23rd North Carolina Infantries. To their left front was a low stone wall but they paid it no mind, they were confident in their success. They believed that they were about to crash through the woods and roll up the flank of the Yankees on the other side.Suddenly, a vast sheet of flame erupted from the stone wall. Some Federal soldiers,who were crouched down behind the wall, could not believe their good fortune at having an entire Confederate Brigade served up to them on a platter, so they burst over the top of the wall and let loose a withering volley at the unsuspecting rebels. Unfortunately for the Confederates, Iverson, their commander, had not deployed an advance line of skirmishers in order to prevent any surprises. Hundreds of North Carolinians fell in straight lines just as they had marched. In the days after the battle, they were buried in an unmarked mass grave, virtually in the same spots where they fell. For years after, the farmer who owned " Iverson's Pits " claimed that his wheat grew the tallest in that part of his field. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raze Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hello Ladys and Germs HeHe! Its been awhile since my last EC post I believe maybe my 1st of 2019 but I might be wrong. Ive spent the last month and a half reading Stephen Kings IT... its now my 2nd favorite book ( behind animal farm). There were a few times that I thought King was referring to EC Comics, like one of the kids who went missing initials we're E.C. (Eddie Corchen maybe) and he mentioned "Horror comics" when the kids were young in the 50s so it could be... Another reason I haven't posted is I've been on a NO comic buying till C2E2 ( crypt convention entertainment extravaganza) But I have come across 3 EC books that were ether a no brainer or I needed to get it for insanity sake. I won't post all 3 tonight only 1. I had a EC collecting goal this year of a few books and 1 came up which is one of my favorites from the HBO show and that is Carrion of Death SHOCK SUSPENSTOIRES 9!!!! When this particular book came up it was removed from a thread for not following guidelines, but I contacted the seller and got it!!!! As much as Ive been wanting to own this issue it now makes me happy....NO NO NO SAD! Although the HBO show was better, the story is still great and it fills in that place where my "heart was supposed to be" HeHe HaHa!!!!! Now I must warn all who enter that this book is a "9.8" compared to most of my hideous treasures and I know Ive promised that Id only show the grotesque of my horror show but the price was only a "toe and finger" HeHe HaHa UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!!!!

Robot Man Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Carrion Death might be my favorite EC horror story! Back when I was a young lad, I had an uncle that gave me 6 or 7 of his original ECs. My mom got a hold of one of the horror ones and tore it up saying it would give me nightmares. So the rest went up into the treehouse away from her. I distinctly remember this one. Yep, she was right. That last panel still creeps me out to this day. Nice grab Raze! Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OtherEric Posted March 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2019 And today's EC from ECCC. I think even Raze might go "that's not in particularly high grade", but it was fairly cheap, and I think it's a classic cover even if it doesn't get the official designation as far as I know. Very happy to get this one; it's the first issue of Tales from the Crypt I've ever owned: IngelsFan, originalisbest, fifties and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also believe George Lucas has one. szav and originalisbest 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robot Man Posted March 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2019 A fun surprise. Found this while looking at my EC's yesterday. I didn't know it was a pedigree when I bought it.

originalisbest Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 EC for me! TFTC 43 I remember vividly on the wall of a local shop when I was a kid -- bike riding era. It was nothing even mid grade, but I looked forward to getting a nice copy one day! Very happy when I found my copy.
