Frontline Combat 13 Completes my run group shot later! Two Fisted 28 is one of my favorites, and under appreciated in my opinion. It’s a very striking image.

Wolverton’s Lena the Hyena is a favorite of mine. Wow, that Marie Severin watercolor is awsome. I remember when some came up for sale and I stupidly passed. This is probably my favorite Panic cover. I'm a sucker for Wolverton! Even though, I had a nice raw copy, I jumped at the chance when this Jerry Garcia copy was offered to me. Wolverton/Garcia?

Sure gets your attention. Maybe the red background at the top. The book reminds me of probably happened just before this TFT issue...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted April 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2021 Big fan of the Frontline #13 too. Nice one to go out on. Maybe it's, the dark green cover, the brutal action or detailed art by Wood. I had to spring on this one when it was offered to me...

KirbyJack Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Two-Fisted 28 is a big fav. And it predates the Battle Cry, so I call rip off! Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think Frontline Combat is the most consistently excellent of all the EC titles... there's not a bad story in the entire run in my opinion.

Raze Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Just read TFT 28 it was good. I liked the Saipan story the most. Also got this today...MAD 18 and its beat! I still dont know why I keep buying them since I have said in the past that the humor is lost one me, but its an EC!

It always amazes me how many low grade copies of that issue actually have the dot-the-dots penciled in; the joke is pretty obvious already.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted April 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2021 The mailman dropped by today to say hello and brought me this. Cool issue and seems a little scarce to me. I have owned 1,000’s of ECs over the years and think I’ve only had one other copy. Happy to cross it off the list. Down to one lowly issue to finish off this run again.

Opened it up and apparently GF Hickey was a big fan of vampirism and cannibalism. Wow. If I had to bet, I'd say what you have here is a review copy used by one of the "citizens for decency" committees that censored comic books in the 50s. These groups popped up all over the country after Wertham's book and Senate testimony, and were often dominated by Catholic clergy (I've done research in this area, and just taking a quick look at some records I see that a "Rev. G.F. Hickey" was an older priest in Ohio involved in youth issues, so could be a connection). Then there's this from the Comics Code of 1954, "General Standards, Part B: (5) Scenes dealing with, or instruments associated with walking dead, torture, vampires and vampirism, ghouls, cannibalism, and werewolfism are prohibited."

Interesting. Thanks - I appreciate it. It was pretty cool opening it up and seeing it. I love stuff like this and date stamps - gives the book a story in my opinion.

Raze Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Also wanted to share these. I know they’re not EC but Jack Davis is close enough! So this is what I have found out. There are five volumes. There is the joke book. And there are three books written by Vincent Courtney. The books written by Vincent Courtney are original stories, I am only missing three more to have all of these books.
