*EC: Always a joy to welcome original ECs to our listings, for quality and workmanship in the genres they covered unsurpassed before or since. Two issues of Shock Suspenstories new in this week, the ‘sort of’ compendium title which featured horror, science-fiction and crime. Both #7 and #11 are full of all of these, with art in #7 by Jack Kamen, Wally Wood, Joe Orlando and George Evans, within a classic melting face Al Feldstein cover. #11 features Johnny Craig (inc cover), Wood, Reed Crandall and Kamen. 
PICTURED: SHOCK SUSPENSTORIES
#7 VG+ £250 Pre-Code. A very solid copy with great spine, firmly attached staples and very little wear, marred only by the previous owner’s name written in biro several times across the logo and blurb box, but fortunately not the cover image. There is the very faint vestige of a very soft diagonal crease across the bottom left of the cover (the window area), but this is barely noticeable.
#11 GD/VG £60 Pre-code. Staples firm at centre, a little loose at spine. Long horizontal colour-breaking crease across logo, small paint stain just below it. Spine and edge wear. SOLD
