Dang...Robot nailed it...I was in the process of sending you a PM when you wrote this last bit about them not being yours Across the Seas in a War Torn World...I do not have. Well, at least now I know that at least two copies exist For the record, I don't have these either, and continue to desperately search for them : Church that was Built with Bread KO Punch Out of the Past a Clue to the FutureReddy Kilowatt 1B (Reddy Made Magic, 1956) Reddy Kilowatt 2B (Light's Diamond Jubilee, 1954) Reddy Kilowatt 3B (Space Kite, S.

The grayed out titles are not listed anywhere and I am still searching for copies... Also, I don't recognize the last one on the right, or the 5th one from the right...are those ECs? Don't tell me my list just expanded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a ton of great stuff in that genre that gets overlooked. sacentaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Time for another story of ECs found in the wild... Awhile back I shared a story of how I met a guy named Al Rosso in my city and bought a bunch of ECs from him in 1975. He also had an original Fan-addict club kit, which I also bought. He had 3 bulletins with the kit and this pg. of #4 listed fans with back issues. Well, it was only 20 years since the bulletin came out, so I tried to find some of those people (I'm kinda crazy that way). After a lot of dead ends, I managed to get a hold of the guy from UT (where i happened to be living at the time) and called him up. I said something funny like, "I saw your name in the bulletin...you got back issues?" After a pause, and some confusion on his part, I told him what I meant. I asked if he still had his EC comics, and he said yes, in the closet. I asked if he wanted to sell any, and he said yes. So, I went to his house and bought the 4 best issues he had (all of the others were pretty ragged ) for a total of $15. Another happy ending to a comic book hunt...See pics below... szav, Larryw7 and bounty_coder 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a real EC fanaddict woulda been monitoring all the relevant obituaries for these people over the years too. Tell me a story about how you tracked down a relative who inherited some of these back issues and I'll be really impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 This walked up to my booth at a show on Saturday. Kind of a scarce issue I believe. Fun to still see the occasional "Paul" books turn up once in a while. atomic1950s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
