EC COMICS

EC Comics (E.C. Comics), the 1940s to 1950s comic book publisher specializing in horror, crime, satire, and science fiction comics. Perhaps the most recognizable comic was the "Tales From The Crypt" and "Weird Science" series. Mounting censorship pressure prompted the company to focus on Mad magazine which became the company's biggest success. The original comics were later reprinted by publisher Russ Cochran in the late 70s and 80s.
