Foreword by: Steven Spielberg Writers: Bill Gaines & Al Feldstein Artists: Jack Kamen, Jack Davis, Joe Orlando, Graham Ingels, Wally Wood, Marie Severin, & others Editor: Russ Cochran Cover by: Wally Wood EC Comics (Entertaining Comics) were all published from the late 1940s until around 1956, when the Comics Code Authority whitewashed all comic books to remove all themes of horror and violence. Psychiatrist Fredric Wertham and Senator Estes Kefauver's Committee on Juvenile Delinquency attacked horror comics as causes of the rise in juvenile delinquency and crimes by minors. These comic books were accused of having no redeeming value to society and were effectively banned by the actions of these groups in creating the Comics Code. EC Comics were superior to other comics of the 1950s because of a higher quality of writing and artwork, and they were widely imitated by other comics publishers. The subject matter for EC Comics were horror, science fiction/fantasy, crime stories, war stories, and stories with a social message that generally had a twist or "shock" ending. This volume reprints the first issues 1-6 of the comic book Shock SuspenStories, a total of 24 complete nerve-racking EC shock & suspense stories, originally published in 1952, and features macabre stories with shocking twist endings. Shock SuspenStories began in 1952 and ran for 18 issues. This first volume of EC Archives Shock SuspenStories features a foreword by Steven Spielberg and classic stories written by Bill Gaines & Al Feldstein. And is illustrated by such legendary master artists as Jack Kamen, Jack Davis, Joe Orlando, Graham Ingels, Wally Wood, Marie Severin, & others. The stories feature murderous wives, deceptive soldiers, space aliens, monsters, thieves, mobs, sinister children, madmen, corrupt law enforcement, robots, murderers and other macabre horror essentials.
