In 1992, Russ Cochran & Gemstone undertook to reprint all the EC (Entertaining Comics) New-Trend/ New-Direction Comics, with full colour cover and contents, as per the 1950s scarce originals. Less well known are the anthologies, known as Annuals, featured in the above EC sections which collect 4 or 5 issues under new covers in a squarebound format. These are far less common, are very readable and represent a real opportunity for collectors.

If you are looking for comics, you are looking for. We will check availability and, if in stock, we will let you know condition and price, all without obligation. Please be specific and give details of TITLE and DATE or ISSUE NUMBER.
Your telephone number (and a time to call if needbe) helps us to help you and, if we ring you, we promise to ring you only in connection with your request, we respect your privacy, and we will not cold call you.
