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
