“In 1947, Bill Gaines inherited his legendary father’s fledgling publishing company, EC Comics. Over the next eight years, he and a “who’s who” of the era including Al Feldstein, Harvey Kurtzman, and Wally Wood would reinvent the very notion of the comic book with titles like Tales from the Crypt, Weird Science, and MAD. With more than 1,000 images and rarities, there’s something new here for even the most die-hard EC Fan-Addicts. Famous First Edition: First printing of 5,000 numbered copies.” (publisher’s blurb)
