Very nice and through overview but not a single mention of the 12 issue Panic (MADs sister publication). EC dubbed Panic the "only authorized imitation" of Mad. 🙂
Guilty as charged! You’re right. Panics interesting because it didn’t succeed with Feldstein as editor but then when he took over Mad, he made that more successful than ever.
I've been waiting to tell my story....well, since early grade school. In neighbor's garage, there were boxes of really disturbing, creepy comic books....swamp creatures, zombies, etc...really extreme. Years later, as a teen....I finally was able to get around more, and some $ in my pocket. So I visited some better department stores, or magazine stands, or whatever. Then a question arose......."Where are all those kick ass gruesome comic books I seen in that garage "????!!!! I only seen like Superman and Archie. Wtf? ANSWER: EC comics were banned by the govt decades before. I didn't know that simple fact until I was able to research it in the advent of the internet. May seem elementary now.
Alex 😃 Thanks for your fascinating, highly informative, and pictured packed video!👍
GREAT summary! I have that big EC history book and this is what I needed!
Sad that these people are gone now, but their legacy remains.
FANTASTIC VIDEO !!!!!!
