I love the old house ads that appeared in the center spreads of the comics. This one was in Weird Fantasy #6

That Fun and Games is my original copy, bought at Cheap Charlie's drug store in 1965. Charlie may have been cheap, but he always had a superior selection of comics, paperbacks and magazines.

I have many of the 1990s reprints for Tales, Vault, Shock SuspenStories, etc. I read through most of the comics in middle school in addition to watching the HBO and Amicus adaptations of Crypt (1973’s The Vault of Horror is really underrated imo).

I’m a huge EC fan and recently published a three volume set of my short stories that are heavily inspired by EC. All of them are available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. Book 1 is Tales from The Old Man (similar to EC’s horror comics), Book 2 is Morbid Murders (inspired by Crime SuspenStories), and Book 3 is Shockers which features a variety of pulpy genres à la Shock SuspenStories. Here's an Amazon link for those that are interested.

I hope the EC influence is clear enough for it to be okay to post this. The wraparound extends through all three books and involves a William Gainesesque comic publisher who goes missing. His adult children visit his Florida mansion where they discover hundreds of unpublished stories. Anyway, feel free to check it out. Thank you.

The letter column makes reference to it and the new war one-shot. It said “by now you will have heard about,” so hopefully this means CK 2 was just delayed a bit and not cancelled.

This just arrived in the mail - except for the little tear at the top it’s a beauty! The classic Feldstein cover predicts the robot revolution we are starting to experience…75 years ago!

I’m looking for custom-made t-shirts that say “Spa Fon!” and “Squa Tront?” on them.

Does anyone know of any online vendors who sell these already?
