Bernie Krigstein

Here's a curious ebay entry. "18 Bernie Krigstein stories clipped from original 1950's comics." It then lists some Atlas stories, and somewhat surprisingly some EC stories. (Surprising for two reasons: (1) EC's comics are generally more redeemable than Atlas's were, and (2) These are from the collection of long time EC fan/collector Rich Hauser and are in VG cond.

I clipped out some comics, separating wheat from chaffe, last summer. But those comics were worthless. I imagine the ebayer here would get more money if the comics were complete. (Then again, you want to see the Krigstin stories separated.)

Incidentally, this collection of Krigstein comics is... kind of disappointing. Mostly due to the recognition that, yes, his best, and second-best, EC work is far superior than the other companies he worked for. (To a large extent I simply don't want to read, say, that story that unfolds with giant ants looking at humanity.) And the post-EC Atlas comics are... thin.
