I understand that licencing issues probably put the kibosh on including any EC stories, that said:

The commentary talks about the use of colour, yet the strips are reprinted in black and white. One strip is even reprinted with pages out of order. (Or, at least, is in my copy.)

Interesting enough content but poor production values. ( )

The comics are pretty good, many are vintage. My only complaint is how can this be the BEST of HORROR COMICS without including EC's line of great horror editions like VAULT OF HORROR, TALE OF THE CRYPT etc. Otherwise, good collection. ( )

I was expecting more. A lot more. Most of the comics reproduced in this volume are second rate at best, a theme that seems to be a constant in the whole Mammoth series. More, the editor has ignored the good stuff completely. For instance, there's not one inclusion of any EC comics. How in the heck can you have a volume "Best Horror Comics," without so much as reprinting one story from the Haunt of Fear or any of the other EC titles? You obviously can't. ( )
