I believe that Jeff Cain, who was the purchaser of the EC Comics from Gary Arlington, is the publisher of ToMB Tales and Grave Yarns, a homage to EC Comics.  Many of the original EC artists did covers for ToMB Tales.

I have not read the ToMb Tales comic books in over twenty years and my memory is not great.  I have to figure out where these comics are stored at my other house.  I bought these from Gary Arlington's shop in the late nineties. 

I love the Tomb Tales #5 cover by Al Williamson.  I am partial to sci fi.  The first cover drawn by Al Williamson was rejected.  Here is the story about the cover.

Here is the published cover.

Here is the rejected cover used for Overstreet Price Guide #30.

Its been awhile my follow E.C. freaks! And Im back with another Shockenly decrepit book! 

Shock Suspenstories 10 -1.8 with the cover barely hanging on, like the guy should have been doing while on the balcony...:gossip:! But come to think of it Id kill for that Jack Kamen Hottie too!

Speaking of Jack Kamen can he draw Women (and Men if you like that) or what?! I mean who does it better...Matt Baker :sick: ?! I say NO! Matt Baker never did any work for our beloved E.C.(Unfortunately) so he loses!

And we get a great heart breaking drug story from the best E.C. artist Wally Wood...this is MY post so Wallys the greatest :sumo:

Then we get a Sci-Fi story from Wally Wood Jr. (AKA Joe Orlando).

And then we finish off with a "Ghoul" of a story, one of "mistaken identity!!

Nice pick-up, I'm all about the reader copies when it comes to EC!

^ Glad to hear that.  I picked up about 10 EC science fiction books earlier this year.  Here are 3 of 'em.  The Weird Science 19 is kinda tough to get, and has always reminded me of the scene in 1954's "Riders To The Stars" where you see an astronaut's skull in his helmet after being blown out into space.
