Popular Post Albert Thurgood Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 I posted this in the cigar thread but it will be better appreciated here... I left it in the bag so you could see the sticker with the dealer's notes as to what is inside. OtherEric, nines, Mmehdy and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Fantastic Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Any room in here for a new EC Addict?? I have yet to own an EC book, but the history, the covers, the story-lines have me hooked !! Should I try to do a run of a certain title or just collect the covers I like?? Any suggestions from the EC veterans??

If you’re not sure where to start, I would track down some reprints and figure out what you’re most interested in to start. I think the War books are a great place to start right now, they’re super cheap compared to the other genres. Panic and New Direction books are also cheap, but mostly aren’t as good as the other titles. They’re still better than 98% of the books from era, just not as good as the rest of the EC’s (with some exceptions.) You might also look for covers you like that haven’t made the classic cover list, there are lots of great covers that aren’t recognized yet.

I currently have several covers that I like a lot, but they are all spread over different titles. I'm torn as to whether I want to start a run of one title now, or just go after my favorite covers, and start a run later.

KirbyJack Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I collected all of my favorite title, Two-Fisted Tales. Now I just add books as I can. No rush; but I did feel some urgency to acquire a significant horror book before I was completely priced out on them.

What kind of price increases have EC books seen over the past few years/months? Have they been steadily rising or have they exploded recently like some of the SA books?

Mr.Fantastic Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Sorry about all the questions, but would be interested to know ............. What is your favorite title? What is your favorite cover? In your opinion, which title has more cool/classic covers throughout the run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I’m an oddity, and the war books are my favorites. Most people associate EC with horror. What do you like? OtherEric and Raze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Fantastic Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I will say that I am probably pulled towards more of the Crime Suspenstories covers overall as a title more than any other title. although a few really creep me out. But, Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, and the Weird Science/Fantasy covers are awesome as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 EC never really did a bad cover, but some CSS standouts are 16, 17, 20, and of course, 22. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
