Hello!
In the early 1990s, Gemstone Publishing reprinted full runs of classic EC Comics titles, as individual issues and also in collections that spanned four or five issues at a time in a square-bound, softcover "Annual" format. The CPG database includes the annuals for titles like:
"Weird Fantasy" (1992-1996, Vol. 1) -- see link: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weird-fantasy/xlwu
and "Weird Science-Fantasy" (1992-1994, Vol. 1) -- see link: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weird-science-fantasy/xlvs
However, the CPG database appears to be missing these "Annual" format compilations for other titles, including "Weird Science" (1992-1997, Vols. 1-5) -- see link: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weird-science/xlvq
I've copied the submission post format below and have filled it out to the best of my ability (I don't have many of these issues but wanted to add them to my "Wants" list.")
01. TITLE: Weird Science Annual
*Note, please use the indicia for correct title information.
*If title already exists in the database please copy and paste the link to the database entry in the space below.
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weird-science/xlvq
02. PUBLISHER:
*Note, please use the indicia for correct publisher information.
Gemstone Publishing
03. COUNTRY PUBLISHED: USA
04. COUNTRY PRINTED: Canada
=====================================================
05. ISSUE #: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
06. COVER PRICE: $9.95 ($13.70 Canada)
07. DATE:
08. ISSUE NOTES: Vol 1 reprints EC Comics' Weird Science issues 1-5; Vol. 2 reprints WS issues 6-10; Vol. 3 reprints WS 11-14; Vol. 4 reprints WS 15-18; Vol. 5 reprints WS 19-22.
09. PRINT RUN (If Known or Listed): I don't know the print run.
10. ISBN/ISSN# (If Listed): I don't know. The UPC/ISBN is not printed on the covers. Note the back covers show other titles that Gemstone Publishing was reprinting in the same Annual format.
I have not checked CPG database to see if all of those other titles (e.g. Tales from the Crypt, Shock SuspenStories, The Vault of Horror, Two-Fisted Tales,
The Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories) have their annuals represented.
11. URL TO COVER SCAN (If Available):
*Note, www.photobucket.com is a free image hosting website and good place to host your cover scans.

It appears it's Weird Science FANTASY that's the annuals you're looking for? Go here, click the Annual tab for #1,2, and see if the 'regular' 1-6 are what else you're looking for: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weird-science-fantasy/xlvs
if you use the Issue Type drop down menu and choose Annual and Weird Fantasy for the title then the above title comes up.
you might also want to search for EC Archives for reprints too, by both Dark Horse and Gemstone.

Actually, Weird Science and Weird Science Fantasy are two different titles. I included the link to Weird Science Fantasy in my original post as an example of one of Gemstone's titles that includes the "Annuals" category as well as a link to Weird Science, which does not include "Annuals."

I know they're different titles, but I blazed by the link in your post and missed seeing the Fantasy one, sorry about that. Always try to find and post pics or links to pics, it really helps. I thought I had found the right ones on comics.org (the Weird Science Fantasy ones) but just searched again and found these, which I think is what you want: https://www.comics.org/series/11236/ . bookmark that site for future use, it comes in handy.
if those are correct, please confirm, and an admin can get to adding those at some point. Or, if you want to practice submitting stuff yourself, you can submit those using the 'report missing issue' link at the very bottom of the right column on the Weird Science series page, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weird-science/xlvq . you can copy the pics from the comics.org page to use. click the 'gallery' link under the pic on that comics.org page to see all the covers, and click those for bigger pics to copy and upload to CPG.
have fun..

Yes, those are the issues to which I was referring. Thank you for the link and for responding. I did a test to try to submit the volume that I own, #2, which reprints EC's "Weird Science" issues 6-10. Hope that works.

just to cover the bases, if you submitted your own pic, it needs to be square-on, out of the bag, and cropped to the edges of the comic, no pro-graded, and with no watermarks. if you used a comics.org pic then you should be fine.
