History
EC Comics was founded in 1944 by M. C. Gaines as Educational Comics and turned by his son William Gaines, who took over after his father's death in 1947, into Entertaining Comics: the 1950 “New Trend” horror, crime and science-fiction line, and Mad (1952). Its artists — Wally Wood, Jack Davis, Graham Ingels, Al Williamson, Harvey Kurtzman and others — made it the most admired publisher of the Golden Age. The 1954 Comics Code made its horror and crime titles unpublishable, and by 1956 only Mad, converted to a magazine, remained.

Key issues
EC Comics, published by William Gaines from 1947 to 1956, produced the most acclaimed horror, crime, science-fiction and satire comics of the Golden Age: Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, The Haunt of Fear, Shock SuspenStories, Crime SuspenStories, Weird Science, Weird Fantasy, Mad and Panic. The line was destroyed by the 1954 Comics Code; only Mad survived. EC books are collected for their art, and Gaines File copies set the high-grade benchmark.

Collecting
The Comics Code Authority (CCA) was a self-regulation body set up by American comic publishers in 1954, after a public campaign against crime and horror comics and a U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing that year. Its seal on a cover certified that the contents met the Code's content rules. The Code ended the pre-Code horror era, was loosened in 1971 and 1989, and was abandoned by Marvel in 2001 and by DC and Archie in 2011, after which it ceased to exist.
