There's a bit of a down side to this announcement: Fantagraphics have already sold out of all their copies! Fortunately, it seems like Amazon has an unknown number in stock (that's where I bought mine) and you can grab yours HERE. My highest recommendation!
From the publisher:
This 136 page, full-color issue is loaded with vintage E.C. lore and rare artwork. With articles on the recently discovered 1954 cover to Buster Crabbe No. 5, Jack Davis’s Lucky Star comic, an unpublished interview with Dr. Fredric Wertham, more Jack Davis and Coca-Cola, a conversation with Graham Ingels, a feature on Marie Severin’s illustrations done for the Financial Follies, a portfolio of Marie Severin’s signed and numbered E.C. cover colorings issued by Russ Cochran, the final installment on the creation of the legendary E.C. fanzine Squa Tront, and much more.
Unfortunately we have sold out of our first run of EC Fan-Addict Fanzine No. 6.
I ordered my copy through Diamond Previews and it was in my pull box at the local comics shop last month. Had no idea I was getting a collector's item. I guess my favorite piece was the trip to Bill Gaines' NYC apartment in the late Sixties.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see that his home is decorated much like his office -- he was dedicated to EC!
