American Comics Update: Complete Set of EC Crime SuspenseStories Annual reprints from Gemstone
*EC: For my money, the Gemstone EC reprints of the early 1990s represent the best available reprint editions of the classic EC line. These stories have been reprinted countless times in various formats and paper qualities, but I think these versions are the best for ease of reading, colour reproduction and authentic paper quality, giving the closest experience to reading the originals, at, of course, a fraction of the cost. Gemstone got it right, reprinting everything in the correct format and running order. Their Annuals are a convenient way to get and enjoy them, with even the covers reproduced inside on the right quality stock. Crime SuspenStories is EC’s hybrid Crime/Horror pre-code horror title, and I shouldn’t have to tell you how EC set the standard for these genres and featured the very best artists working in comics at the time. This complete set of all six Annuals (all in lovely VF/NM virtually as new condition) features all 27 issues of Crime SuspenStories, including the famous hanging cover and axe/decapitated head cover and many more of that ilk. (NB we have now moved our EC reprint section from Modern Reprints into this category, to keep all our EC material under one roof, so to speak.)
