THE FULL EDITION of THE COMPLETE EC CHECKLIST Author: Von Bernewitz, Fred Place: Silver Spring, MD Publisher: Fred von Bernewitz Date: 1963 Description: 124 + [2 errata] pp. With one full-page black & white illustration by Al Williamson and several portrait vignettes by John Severin, Will Elder and Fred von Bernewitz. 8vo. Photostat-printed wrappers with Jack Davis illustration created especially for this edition. First printing of this revised and expanded edition, following The Complete EC Checklist (three printings, 1955-56) and The Complete EC Checklist Supplement (1958). Very good condition, some rust to top staple, tiny chips to top spine of front wrapper and first leaves, front wrapper corners curling, rear wrapper loose at bottom staple; some penciled check marks to listings. Third incarnation of first-generation Fan-Addict Fred von Bernewitz's compendium of EC titles, stories and art credits. Encompasses all EC publications from M.C. Gaines' Educational Comics to Bill Gaines' Entertaining Comics. Includes an index of EC's Ray Bradbury adaptations, a reprint of Larry Stark's "Elegy" written upon the demise of EC's New Trend and New Direction lines (originally printed in Ron Parker's seminal HOOHAH! #6, 1956), an EC chronology and biographies of EC's major contributors. A classic EC reference that finally found its apotheosis in Fred Von Bernewitz & Grant Geissman's Tales of Terror (Fantagraphics: 2000), achieving a longevity uncommon for such fan-based efforts. "Now whether this is just pure ego on my part or what, I don't know, but I always believed that the EC comics were good enough to last, and that my Checklist would always remain a part of all that.... and I'm happy — though not surprised — to see it come to pass." —Fred von Bernewitz in conversation with Grant Geissman, Tales of Terror. A limited edition of 100 softcover and 15 hardcover catalogues are available. Over 200 pages, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcovers $40, dust-jacketed hardcover with limitation plate $200. To order, contact ivan@pbagalleries.com or visit: https://www.pbagalleries.com/content/comics/. R. Crumb says, "I found [PBA's catalogue] so interesting that I am saving it for the texts that accompany the comics which were put up for auction. This is some of the best commentary I’ve yet seen on the quality of the content of comic books. I especially enjoyed the reviews of the post-war horror comics. Great. Priceless." Consignments welcome for PBA's Spring 2021 Comic Book sale. Pre-Code Horror, Golden Age and Silver Age comics, original art and ephemera sought. Send inquiries to ivan@pbagalleries.com.
