So, watcha' reading?

Not sure what happened. I was 200 pages into the first David Wellington Vampire book and was stoked enough to buy the whole series at that point. Life got in the way and I have been watching tons of 70s horror stuff and haven't read anything in a month.
Now I am about 60 pages in to Showcase House of Mystery. Ok but not impressed. IMO, almost NO ONE in the 70's 80s came close to old E.C horror in story content and art.
I'll be back to Wellington tonite since all my NFL teams are crappin out. Winter is coming and that is when I do most my reading.

Well, I can't agree with you on that. Berni Wrightson and  Nestor Redondo were superb artists who I would put up against any of the EC guys.

I did say ALMOST no one. Of course Berni Wrightson goes without saying. Also like the art of Gray Morrow. And not in this volume enjoy the art of Tom Sutton. I may be comparing snow apples to beautiful tangerines here since the Showcase are all B/W and my E.C reprints are color. I have had some of the original issues 2 or 3 times in my life and when it comes to the full package of art and good to great story with a decent ending , IMO,E.C is still the tops. D.C did have some pretty good art but when combined with a soso story with a lame ending it just seems like a waste of talent which leaves one thinking "If only they are gone this direction or ended it like ..."

I just polished off the last book (so far...) in Jim Butcher's 'The Dresden Files' & am now starting the Landover series by Terry Brooks -
And so far, I'm liking it...

A YANKEE IN THE TRENCHES, written by a young American who served with the Britsh Army in WWI.  Very, VERY GOOD.  I remember that my grandfather wanted to go 1n 1915  (his parents were British).  All I can say is Thank GOD the Army rejected him..otherwise I probably wouldn't be here.

I've been meaning to read that for close to 30 years and I never get around to it.
