Date Sold 6/9/2024Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures approximately 7 1/8" x 10 1/4") (Learn More) Two-Fisted Tales, the 1950 - 1955 war comic created by William Gaines & Harvey Kurtzman. 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. It was one of two war titles published by EC (the other was Frontline Combat). They did not sell well for EC, but Bill Gaines continued publishing them because he and the artists and writers loved creating them, and they have some of the best (and most educational) content of any of the EC comics, even if they are not as revered by fans as the horror and science fiction titles. 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!
