An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures approximately 7 1/8" x 10 1/4") (Learn More) The Haunt of Fear was a bi-monthly horror comic anthology series from 1950 to 1954. 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 first issue was #15, because it reused the numbering from an earlier publication, to save on postal costs. The publisher was Bill Gaines, who went on to do Mad Magazine after he was forced to fold the rest of the E.C. Comics line. Along with its sister titles, The Vault of Horror and Tales from the Crypt, The Haunt of Fear was popular, but in the late 1940s and early 1950s comic books came under attack from parents, clergymen, schoolteachers and others who believed the books contributed to illiteracy and juvenile delinquency. With the subsequent imposition of a highly restrictive Comics Code, E.C. Comics publisher Bill Gaines cancelled The Haunt of Fear and its two companion horror titles in September 1954. This was one of three EC horror 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! Artist: Albert B.
