GPAnalysis: A 4.5 sold for $355 in June 2021. Graham Ingels's grotesqueries were embraced by young Fan-Addicts with a fervor difficult to imagine today. Before rock and roll gave rebellious youngsters a sound to rally around, EC's transgressive vibe was a beacon and a lifeline to disaffected kids. As David Hadju observed, "Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry added the soundtrack to a scene created in comic books." "Other than early rock and roll, comics were the only cultural form of the period largely created by the young for those only slightly younger. In them, uncensored, can be detected the dismantling voice of a generation that had seen in the world war horrors beyond measure." — Tom Englehardt, The End of Victory Culture: Cold War America and the Disillusioning of a Generation.
