Released by Fantagraphics back on July 16 is this, the sixth issue of Roger Hill and Grant Geissman's EC FAN-ADDICT FANZINE that began in 2004. Sadly, Mr. Hill passed away last December, but his legacy will live on in the books that he wrote and his contributions to this 'zine, where he added many items from his personal collection to share with EC fans everywhere. And this issue is no different -- it's packed with memorabilia, esoterica and minutia from the world's most legendary horror comic.
This has already sold out from the publisher! I got my copy through Amazon who must have a supply in their warehouse.
Tell me EC Comics aren't popular anymore!
