Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Nearly 50 years after they were crushed by moral guardians outraged by their Grand Guignol excesses, the genre comic books published by EC Comics still enthrall readers who grew up with them and generations of younger fans, too. EC's horror, science fiction, and war comics remain unsurpassed, and the early EC issues of Mad vitally influenced a generation of humorists and cartoonists. EC's output has been the subject of many lavish publications, including slipcased, oversize reprints of the runs of several titles and massive coffee-table tributes, but this book by two longtime fans is something else again. Its heart is a checklist, with detailed writer and artist credits, of every single EC comic book. This core is rounded out with interviews of comics creators, photos, private sketches, and other memorabilia, such as EC publisher William Gaines' testimony before the U.S. Senate subcommittee investigating horror comics. Most of the previous books about EC were designed for a relatively mainstream audience. This one aims at the hardcore fan-addicts--and should hit that target dead center. Gordon Flagg

Synopsis
The Complete Compendium of All the Incredible Old-EC Comics; Fifty years in the making. This is the definitive story of EC Comics, the most notorious and well regarded mass-market publisher in comics history. Having published such seminal titles as Mad, Tales from the Crypt, Weird Science, Two-Fisted Tales, and so many others, its output was a high point in terms of craft and presentation. From the humanistic, well-paced writing of editor Harvey Kurtzman to the artwork of recognised masters like Wally Wood and Bernie Krigstein, what truly sets EC apart was its wider influence on pop culture throughout the world. Every EC title is included in this comprehensive volume that uncovers the amazing history behind the comics, from the very beginning to the bitter end when the U.S. Senate drove EC out of business for allegedly corrupting America's youth. Featuring interviews with Bill Gaines, Al Feldstein, Adele Kurtzman, Sheldon Moldoff and many more. A 'lost' EC story in its entirety by Johnny Craig. Bill Gaines 1954 Senate Subcommittee testimony in full.

the ultimate history of EC
15. August 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is, simply put, the greatest work of comic book scholarship ever in print. The authors delve so deeply into EC facts, history and lore that you can depend upon the thoroughness of this work. Much more than a history, this tome is also a beautiful art book. Don't delay......buy it now!

THE BOOK FOR EC FANS
11. September 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Without a doubt this is the book for anyone interested in EC Comics. Not only does it feature cover reproductions of almost every pre-trend, new trend, and post-trend comic but it also has handy annotations of who did what in that particular issue. In addition it sheds a good deal of light upon Maxwell Gaines, the originator of EC and the father of Bill, who has for me remained a shadowy figure in the early history of comics. All in all it's a great book that I'll probably be dipping into for years to come.

EC - Kings of Comics
9. Oktober 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As a long time comic book reader, I've great childhood memories of numerous exposures to the horror stories of EC Comics. Trust me over twenty years later and I can still visualize the pictures and remember some of the classic..twist endings!
So, it was a great surprise when I happened upon a copy of The EC Companion. This is a great read for those who want to get a solid history on the company and to learn a bit more about the 'behind the scenes' masters of those classic titles. Much like Les Daniels's 'MARVEL' this should be a required book in any comic book fans library.
It's truly one of the injustices of pop-culture that the government stepped in to shut the door on the EC Horror franchise.
So get the book, refresh your memory, and keep your fingers crossed that more and more EC Horror TPB's will be available in the future.
