American Update: EC’s Two-Fisted Tales, complete but for first issue
*EC: Among the series EC’s own creators were most proud of were their war titles, which took a very different and more thoughtful look at the business of human conflict than was the gung-ho industry standard of the 1950’s. Two-Fisted Tales, originally under the supervision of Harvey Kurtzman, brought thought-provoking stories of war’s effect on soldiers and civilians alike, illustrated by the same top-echelon artists as the rest of the EC line: Wood, Orlando, Crandall, Davis, and of course Kurtzman himself. With issue #36, the title became ‘The New’ Two-Fisted Tales, broadening its scope into a more generalised adventure field, and John Severin became a more frequent contributor, but the quality remained high. We have a striking selection of the title (every issue except the first) new in in a variety of grades ranging from the reading copy to the collectible investment. Beginning with issue #19 (the second issue of the series), VG at £95, and running through to the final issue, #41. A selection of cover images are shown below; more are shown in our catalogue, along with a full list of grades and prices.
