EC Comics: POO

MAD. In a walk.

It's a three-way tie between the horror titles, obv., but I voted for <i>Haunt of Fear</I> for all those Graham Ingels covers.

... like this one.

all the horror ones are kinda interchangeable aren't they...? I might go with Shock/Suspense Stories cuz they're all like really gruesome public service announcements about drug fiends and the KKK and baby snatchers.

They are, that's why the covers allowed Haunt to squeak by for me. And Shock SuspenStories would've totally been the darkhorse if I hadn't rationalized which horror comic to pick. Those were some nasty stories ... really they were the same stories as the horror titles without reanimated corpses at the end.

No Psychoanalysis, no credibility.

PIRACY!
Naw, I picked Shock Suspense.

i went with mad. apart from kurtzman + krigstein i think this stuff is pretty overrated, though.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Krigstein is totally amazing, its sad he produced so little

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

OMG how did I miss this thread?

Me too. Fuck.

I could have pushed Shock into 2nd place.

Me TOOOOO, altho I also have a soft spot for WEIRD SCIENCE comics. "He sharpened the pencil....now the pencil's come back to sharpen HIM!" Actually that's every non-war EC comic.

MAD is just sad now, they have fucking ads and everything, and a lot of photoshopped celebrities. Yeah, I'd look at Something Awful if I wanted (a better version of) that. It's done some great stuff over the years, but it's really tapered down & all the greats are dead now. WHY DAVE BERG are you still alive? And WHY can you never erase all your pencilling? His pencil lines make me want to come SHARPEN HIM.

No doubt, Abbott, but since this is an EC poll, surely the winner is EC MAD, not current MAD.

im not sure whats going on here but i can tell you that 'weird science' should pretty much be deleted from memory. that chick had almost nonexistant tits & was a pathetic pox upon the entire film. i know for a fact that my friend & i couldnt take it seriously & this was around the same time as 'the red shoe diaries', hosted by david duchovony, as well as other, more prurient softcore porn. i dont have a point as much as i have a message - please dont let this grotesque figure of a woman represent female sexuality for generations of lonely male pre-teens to come. the damage has been done already. we dont like tiny tits, no matter what hollywood has to offer us. we will not be corrupted. we will not be touched. baby carriages will be led to the bottom of stairwells. elliot ness will prevail. al 'scarface' capone will die of syphilis in alcatraz & all is right with the world. thank you.

This poll should be redone.
