Popular Post Raze Posted August 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Wow! so many great books @EC ed !! Also I like that Saddle justice @Robot Man !! I found this on Sunday at a LCS in a back room in a box of $5-$20 BA-MA filled with a bunch of nothing and half way through the box there it sits!! Crime Patrol 13 It fits my EC collection, Cheap, Low grade and complete! The tear goes through the whole book and missing pieces on the side but everything else is good. This is only my 2nd Crime Patrol and Im glad to have it. Edited August 12, 2020 by Raze OtherEric, Larryw7, creaturefan95 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Funny you should say that. I think I got a Crime Patrol 14 in the same deal as my long gone 15! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 And for a VERY nominal fee these two came along for the ride. Whack #1 is the very first MAD imitator. OtherEric, Raze and KirbyJack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERY nice... even if I think that's a candidate for the worst cover EC ever did. The joke, to the extent I can even figure it out, falls utterly flat.

Robot Man Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Maybe, but I put Panic #6 and MAD #13 right above it. A shame that Feldstein didn’t do more covers for Panic. I think he was way too busy. OtherEric and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame that Feldstein didn’t do more covers for Panic. I think he was way too busy. I actually considered those two issues when I said that. At least on the Panic #6 and Mad #13, I get the joke they were trying for. The Panic #6, in particular, would work better if Mad #23 hadn't done the roughly the joke, only vastly better and more subtly. Panic 6-8 are all just horribly dull covers.

Popular Post OtherEric Posted August 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2020 Two Fisted Tales #19. This gives me the complete run of Two Fisted Tales, and in fact completes my run of the Kurtzman edited EC's. The only EC war book I still need is Shock #1 if you count it, and I consider that a borderline case. I'm afraid my EC intake is going to go down, since my paycheck is going down for COVID-related reasons. I'm certainly not hurting, but my fun budget is tightening. I wanted to make sure I finished this particular run before the pay cut fully took effect. Since this is a complete run, I'll do my traditional posting of my run. I may upgrade a few issues; better but still cheap copies are definitely an option on my reduced budget and most of my real beater copies were in the $5-$10 range.
