I've really been into Marvel's bronze age horror revival the past few years and since then I found public domain horror over at Comic Book Plus ( http://comicbookplus.com/?cbplus=horror ) which is pretty awesome- ads and all.

It really depends upon what you like. Horror? Sci-fi? Crime? War?

Some people say War comics are their favorite. Some Say Tales From the Crypt. Some say Sci-fi. I know people who only like Mad.

My favorite series is Shock Suspenstories followed by Crime Suspenstories. Those are usually more affordable. Maybe if I owned more sci-fi, it'd be my favorite.

The reprints are a cheap way to get started to read the stories. To appreciate the art, there is no comparison to an original. I buy originals for that reason. It's especially true for Wally Wood art and Al Williamson.

I'd say find the genre that interests you and go with that..]]> Fri, 19 May 2017 17:12:15 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11152 Message from Gilgandra Finley2020 wrote:

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.]]> Wed, 17 May 2017 11:43:52 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11152 Message from Defiant1

This is very cool!

I got lucky. The seller listed it poorly and it looked like he was selling one page. You had to read his listing very carefully to discover he was selling 3 pages. I was able to buy three pages for the price you'd normally have to pay for one. Comic art this old is typically larger than modern comic art. I have an oversized scanner, but I still had to scan the art in three passes and stitch the separate images together to get the images you see above. I think these were drawn the same year Max Gaines died in a boating accident.

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.]]> Fri, 05 May 2017 08:17:23 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11152 Message from Defiant1

How do I make the photos display bigger? The old forum allowed nice sized pix - that's important when talking funny books.

They're insanely scarce. Card fronts are b&w photos from the show. Backs are 4 panel comics by Wally Wood (he was on staff at Topps for a couple years).

I scored the original inked art for some of them smile

here's one

Wally Wood was one of the key players at EC.

Too far off topic for an "EC" thread?]]> Thu, 04 May 2017 19:27:06 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11152 Message from sclingerman Thu, 04 May 2017 13:13:11 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11152 Message from ComicJoeSuper Thu, 04 May 2017 08:11:25 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11152 Message from Defiant1

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.]]> Tue, 02 May 2017 13:48:53 GMT
