Title: EC "Thank You For Writing" Flyer [and] Fan-Addict Club Kit Card with Envelope
Place Published:
Publisher:EC
Date Published: c.1952
Description:

John Severin version. Flyer is evenly toned, with original mailing folds, a few small nicks, and the "dotted line" subscription form removed. The original mailing envelope is present, addressed to "Carlin Woolf / Piedmont, Ala." The Fan-Addict Club card is signed "Carlin Woolf," bears a fairly low number (963), and is well-worn, with paper loss to corners and dusty soiling, as if carried faithfully in a Fan-Addict's wallet for years.

"As a gesture of thanks, EC sent flyers in response to reader mail, along with a canny reminder that subscriptions were available. There are three different designs, with art by John Severin, Will Elder, and Marie Severin. The John Severin version was used in early 1952...." — Grant Geissman, Collectibly MAD: The MAD and EC Collectibles Guide. Kitchen Sink: 1995, p. 39.
