These issues are easy to get so I hadn't been in a rush to pick them up. Was fun to see them all together though. Yep, I love my bunch too. I also picked up the first magazine issue, just for fun. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have many copies of most of them. I just can't leave them when I see them. Just full of classic Mingo and Freas covers and great content. Just pick up readers. They are usually cheap and all great reads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also love Shock #9 the last story "Carrion Death" was the only comic that ever gave me nightmares as a kid and still creeps me out today.

(Did you connect the dots yourself, for the satisfaction of it?) I know you also got your first #24 a year or two ago. Anyway, congrats again!

Kind of a cool concept, they tried mixing a pulp book with comic illustrations. The cover is what really got me though, it has 2 of things I love most on a comic book cover, and a Swamp Monster too There has been some discussion about the Terror Illustrated 1 cover and this piece of unpublished Jack Davis art. I acquired the art a few years ago from a longtime customer. It is on EC paper and is obviously something from the EC offices but no one seemed to know what. I took it to OAF Con last year and showed it to Roger Hill, the authority on EC art. He surmised that it was a preliminary for a splash from the picto-fiction era. I had thought it might have been a rough for a future unpublished Tales From The Crypt cover. Then someone on the EC chatboard mentioned this Terror Illustrated cover by Reed Crandall. Could it be that Jack Davis did a rough and Crandall did the finished cover based on that idea? We will probably never know, but it is fun to speculate.
