EC Comics

EC Comics, or Educational Comics, was a publisher best known in the 1950s for producing innovative and influential comic books in genres like horror, science fiction, and crime. Founded by Bill Gaines and others, EC was renowned for its high-quality storytelling, detailed artwork, and often dark, provocative themes that pushed the boundaries of the medium. While popular with readers and critics alike, EC's content also drew criticism from moral guardians, leading to increased censorship. Despite its brief peak, EC Comics had a lasting impact on comic book history, inspiring future creators and elevating comics as a serious art form.
