I was tagging along with my grandma to some hillbilly antique shop in southern MO, while she looked at empty Avon bottles I was digging around in a box of magazines and found a bunch of coverless 70's Marvel reprints like Crypt of Shadows and Vault of Evil. I can actually remember my mind snapping and my eyeballs frying in their sockets. What I didn't know then though was that these were actually stories from the 50's but I knew I liked them. I convinced granny to buy them for me and for the next few years I read them over and over, scaring myself (and my sister) silly. And of course I needed more MORE MORE!!! I remember having little understanding at the time on how to get more horror comics (this was in the dark ages and comicbook stores didn't even exist yet in St Louis MO), but I knew that the old man barber shop my stepdad took me to for a crappy haircut had comics laying around on the waiting area table though it was always just superhero stuff... and the metal spin rack at the Rexall only had the typical top 10 Marvel / DC titles. I remember going into a liquor store with my uncle and up on the top shelves I saw the black and white Warren and Eerie publications, (right next to the porn of course.) It wasn't until I was in high school in the early to mid 80's when I finally found more of the horror comics I really wanted, at a full blown comic shop. This was probably around the same time I was introduced to EC too.<BR/><BR/>If anyone else cares to share their earliest pre-code horror comic stories please pass them on! Nostalgia is a fun way to help pass the day (when not reading comics!)Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-17201756109159614862007-08-31T10:20:00.000-05:002007-08-31T10:20:00.000-05:00Page 1, panel 1 splash page is influenced by Davis...Page 1, panel 1 splash page is influenced by Davis: big feet and knobby fingers of the vampire. Yes, the rest is heavily influenced by Wood. I enjoy these comics. I've read every EC story over the years (been a fan since 1976), so these stories are like new EC stories to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-5669280598152385932007-08-31T09:47:00.000-05:002007-08-31T09:47:00.000-05:00It's possible that mom's breasts were influenced b...It's possible that mom's breasts were influenced by Bill Ward too.Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.com
