List of Entertaining Comics publications

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EC Comics was a major publisher of comic books in the 1940s and 1950s. The letters EC stood for both Entertaining Comics and the earlier Educational Comics. EC's Pre-Trend titles are those published by Max Gaines and his son William Gaines, who took over the family business after his father's death in 1947. In 1950, EC found success with their New Trend. The New Direction group was a response to the Comics Code Authority. Picto-Fiction was a short-lived line of heavily illustrated short story magazines.
