An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures approximately 7 1/8" x 10 1/4") (Learn More) 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! Artist: Jack Kamen Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this comic book! As noted below, the cover shows an image drawn by Jack Kamen referencing Master Race by Bernie Krigstein, which was originally going to be in this issue, but ended up in Impact #1, so this cover does not relate to any of the interior stories! Contents: Cover by Jack Kamen. Stories by Carl Wessler and Al Feldstein. Art by Jack Kamen, Marie Severin, Joe Orlando, and Reed Crandall. EC's New Trend crime title featured top-notch art and writing, barrier-pushing graphics and pre-Code violence. A struggling family takes a turn for the worse when suspicions fall on them for serial killings, but no one suspects the identity of the true murderer. A jealous husband sees a TV wrestling match as proof of his suspicions, but forgets that not everything you see on wrestling shows is real. A firefighter is the last person anyone would suspect of arson. The cover by Jack Kamen directly references Bernie Krigstein's famous story "Master Race," originally scheduled for this issue, but postponed to Impact (1955 EC) #1 instead due to art delays. The Fixer; Dead Center; The Firebug; Comeback. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
