I'm new to the board! I collect mostly EC Comics so if anyone would like to chat about EC, please feel free to contact me!


Looking forward to discussing comics with everyone on this board.

Hi everyone,


I'm new to the board and enjoying my time here so far. Looking forward to meeting some fellow collectors and discussing comics.


I mainly collect EC Comics and found while browsing the forum that there is no thread specifically dedicated to EC so I figured I'd start one.


Any other EC collectors on here? I'd love to see some collections and discuss favorite cover art, stories, etc.

Thanks for the replies everyone! ECs, even reprints, are pretty tough to come by. It's taken me many trips to many LCS over many years to build my collection. I have an almost complete reprint collection (of the EC titles I collect) so I've officially started acquiring some of the originals. I currently have my first slabbed comic on its way to me (Tales From the Crypt #26).

Absolutely! I'm sure you know the history behind it. Definitely fits the definition of "iconic."

I don't have any, but I absolutely love comics from the EC age - especially Pre-Code. I've got some reprints, but finding and actually paying for the originals is another matter.


Tell me about it. I'm almost complete with my reprint collection and have just recently started collecting originals. Not easy to do unless you focus on low - midgrade.

In addition to my slabbed Tales From the Crypt #26 on its way to me, I now also have a Shock SuspenStories #17 coming. I love that scarecrow art and the color scheme on that one.

Why Do YOU Collect Comics?

Hi everyone,


I'm still new to the board so I figure this must have been discussed somewhere here at some point. Forgive me if it has.


My question is in the title of the thread... why do YOU collect comics? Is it because you love reading the stories? Is it because you love the art and cover art? Is it just based on nostalgia? Is it for home display reasons?


Why do you collect?

Nostalgia is a big reason for me. I collect mostly EC comics since I grew up reading the reprints. Other comics I collect are usually also from my childhood (Midnight Sons Unlimited for example).
I'm a huge Watchmen fan as well so I've been getting the DC Rebirths tie-ins and am really enjoying that story.
I keep all of my ECs on a spin rack (again... for nostalgia) and really love how they look displayed.

Very nice! It's such a great cover. I've gotten a few more since my last post (Haunt of Fear #19, Haunt of Fear #5) and still have a few more on the way.
