Wait a sec, the guy with this salutation is saying that Marvel's writing is better than EC's? Have you read any Marvel (Atlas/timely) Comics produced at the same time EC's New Trend was released? There is no comparison. Marvel's GA and Atlas Superhero stories are totally vapid compared to anything EC produced. Gaines and Feldstein were superior to all other comic writers of the same era except for, perhaps, Eisner.

Context is everything.

I'm comparing the writing of EC's 50's horror/shock titles to the writing of Marvel's 60's superheroes, since that is the choice that Ray initially said he was faced with.

However, based on my extemely limited experience with the first two EC Archives, I'm not exactly impressed so far. I don't see where it's vastly superior to the little bit of Atlas Age material I've read.
