An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures approximately 7 1/8" x 10 1/4") (Learn More) Shock SuspenStories was part of the E.C. Comics line in 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 bi-monthly comic, edited by Al Feldstein, began in February of 1952. Over a four-year span, it ran for 18 issues, ending with the December/January 1955 issue. This title was a special experiment! Each issue contained one story each from EC's main genres (horror, science fiction, crime, and war). The idea was that people who only bought horror would want this one too, because it contained a horror story, but at the same time, it would expose them to the other genres, which did not sell nearly as well as the horror comics. This was one of many EC comic titles published by Bill Gaines (later publisher of Mad Magazine). Since the ending of publication, all of the EC comics have been reprinted many, many times, in many formats, and there have been several movies and TV series based on them!

Note: We have 19 images of this comic book, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 19 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 9. Note that due to the greater interest in this comic we have pictured EVERY single page of this comic, which means that you can see EVERY defect the comic has, AND get a good sense of its condition. While we gave the comic an overall condition grade (and sometimes describe the defects in words) please rely on the actual images of the comic to help you decide what YOU think its condition is, and then bid or not bid based on what you are seeing in the images. And if you have ANY doubt as to what the condition of the comic is, or whether you want it in the condition it is is, then please do not bid, as we do not want any retracted bids or returns if at all possible. If in doubt, do not bid!. Condition: very good. There is tiny paper loss in the middle right of the cover. Otherwise, the comic is in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
