Crime SuspenStories was a bi-monthly anthology crime comic from the early 1950s. This comic was published by Bill Gaines (William Gaines) through his company, EC Comics (E.C. Comics), which he inherited from his father in 1947. The title first arrived on newsstands with its October/November 1950 issue and ceased publication with its February/March 1955 issue, producing a total of 27 issues. This was one of many E.C. comic titles published by Bill Gaines (later publisher of Mad Magazine). Since the ending of publication, all of the E.C. comics have been reprinted many, many times, in many formats, and there have been several movies and TV series based on them!
