*EC: Two unique EC items in this week’s Pre-Code Horror Fest. In 1954, EC published two 3D comics (you know the type of thing, when viewed through glasses supplied, the interiors render a 3D image). The first (EC1) was called Three Dimensional EC Classics; the second (EC2) Three Dimensional Tales From The Crypt Of Terror. Both contain stories originally published in earlier EC comics, but re-worked into the 3D format, and both issues were published complete with two pairs of 3D glasses bound in. We’re lucky enough to have both these rarities available.

Clean, glossy cover, off staples at front only; firm on back cover and at centrefold. Back cover has small tears and wear. Glasses in unused condition, still bound in. Interior pages, often very fragile due to the 3D effect, are remarkably nice. SOLD

Nice glossy cover with very minor markings, off staples at front only; firm on back cover and at centrefold. Minimal edge wear with slight back cover chipping.
