Overnight, EC became the pound, man-eating thing in the comics biz. In paranoid, s America, witch hunts found easy traction among minds full of fear of nuclear war, of Communism, of disease, of changing social orders, and, yes, even fear of comic books. Thanks to self-aggrandizing, head-shrinker Frederic Wertham and his infamous book Seduction of the Innocent , much of the country believed that comics caused all juvenile delinquency. Gaines, who fought trench warfare with the Authority over everything from sex and violence to right to publish a story with a black protagonist, even testified before the U.

Senator Estes Kefauver: Here is your May 22 issue. Do you think that is in good taste? Bill Gaines: Yes, sir, I do, for the cover of a horror comic.

A cover in bad taste, for example, might be defined as holding the head a little higher so that the neck could be seen dripping blood from it and moving the body over a little further so that the neck of the body could be seen to be bloody. Gaines ended the EC Comics line in After a few attempts at new comic book series, he turned his full attention to Mad , which escaped the Authority by switching to magazine format.

Like any good corpse in an E.

Today the Comics Code is long-gone, and old Doc Freddie rots six feet under, his place in history as a censorious laughingstock quite secure. EC Comics, on the other hand, have stayed in print for decades in formats from standard comic reprints to high-end, hardcover collections, gaining new fan-addicts in every generation, and having inspired horror creators from Stephen King to John Landis to Bernie Wrightson and countless others—because great horror stories speak truth, and although it may take years, the truth always beats small minds.

First published in December , House of Mystery was originally an anthology of horror stories, although much tamer than those published in the titles of such competitors as E. Comics and particularly Harvey Comics. With the introduction of the Comics Code House of Mystery would deal less with supernatural menaces and more on science fiction type creatures and situations of the sort found in mystery and suspense movies. With June House of Mystery would become a superhero title, featuring the Martian Manhunter who had debuted in Detective Comics , November Joe Orlando came on board as the magazine's editor with that title.

Orlando would set the tone and style of House of Mystery for its remaining run, introducing the character of Cain yes, that Cain as the narrator of stories featured in the title. Cain was the caretaker of the House of Mystery, which was established as an actual location in the DC Universe.

It was also very successful, continuing its run until October Since then it has been revived a few times, while Cain and his brother Abel who became the narrator of House of Secrets would become recurring characters in the DC Universe, appearing in Swamp Thing , Sandman where the Houses of Mystery and Secrets would be established as being in the Dreaming, the realm of Morpehus or Dream-- the Sandman.

This May it returned as a title under DC's Vertigo imprint. DC Comics' next horror title would have a drastically different history than House of Mystery. The Phantom Stranger debuted in August-September , featuring stories narrated by the mysterious figure known as the Phantom Stranger. The series was not successful, lasting only six issues. A new series of the Phantom Stranger debuted with issue 1 in May-June For the first three issues, The Phantom Stranger consisted of reprints from the original title and the series "Dr.

Thirteen would be revived as a character in the magazine, trying to prove The Phantom Stranger is a fraud. The Phantom Stranger would last until issue 41, March Through the years he would continue to appear in various DC titles, usually assisting various other characters in times of need. While his origins have never been revaled Secret Origins , volume 2 issue 10, January would provide four different origins for him. In one he was a man in Biblical times who committed suicide against God's will.

In another he was revealed to be the Wandering Jew. A third claimed he was the survivor from another universe. Yet another proposes he was an angel who took neither side in the part of Lucifer's rebellion against the Judaeo-Christian God, and as a result was an outcast from both Heaven and Hell as a result he found Man to be his only friend.

Personally, I have always liked the last origin the best. By issue 23, August , House of Secrets would receive its first ongoing series, "Mark Merlin," about a modern day sorcerer of that name. Its stories were narrated by Abel, yes, that Abel , and it was established that the House of Secrets was a real location in the DC Universe later established as part of the Dreaming in Sandman.

Despite this, Abel would continue to appear as a character in the DC Universe, alongside Cain, in the pages of Swamp Thing , Sandman where he was, like Cain, a recurring character , and others. House of Secrets was briefly revived by Vertigo, running from October to Feb. Like House of Mystery and House of Secrets , it was originally an anthology title featuring different stories, although it would eventually include ongoing series.

The first and most notable of these was "Space Ranger," which appeared in issues 40, August Its other recurring titles were the largely forgotten "Green Glob" and "Automan. Unlike House of Mystery and House of Secrets, Tales of the Unexpected would have only a few recurring characters or narrators. Both the Mad, Mod Witch from issues , October to , April and Judge Gallows from issues , May and reappearing sporadically until issue , March were narrators of the title for a time.

1. The Secrets of Men-how to become a Dream-Woman: But the happiness does not only come to the good-looking. It also comes to all those who have the so-called ... something. Until you are finished wi.
2. The Recollections of A Drummer-Boy;
3. LiGHTiNG CEREMONY (PROLOGUE): a novel?

The Unexpected was cancelled with issue , May It lasted until issue 85, October , when it was merged with The Unexpected see House of Secrets above. The three witches would later appear as The Three, an entity in the Dreaming who sometimes took the form of Modred, Mildred, and Cynthia. DC Comics' next horror title would be one of the strangest horror comic books ever published. Weird War Tales debuted with the cover date of September It combined war stories with the horror, fantasy, and science fiction genres. The stories were narrated by Death himself, dressing a different military uniform for each issue.

Late in the title's run it started featuring ongoing series, such as "Creature Commandos which first appeared in 93, November ," "G. In DC's Vertigo imprint revived the title for a four issue miniseries. It would later revive it for a one shot in Ghosts was another specialised title to debut at DC Comics, with a cover date of September-October The title featured stories with a supernatural bent, most often about ghosts.

A single page, regular feature which included depictions of ghost sightings was added with issue 37, April Unlike many of DC Comics' horror titles, Ghosts only had one ongoing series to ever appear in it. Starting with issue 95, December and lasting until , July was a revival of "Dr. Weird Western Tales also proved very popular, running for 59 issues until August It was revived in as a four issue limited series. It was hosted by Destiny, who would later be revealed as one of the Endless and hence Morpheus' brother in the pages of Sandman. The first few issues featured stories by Jack Kirby and later issues would feature work by Bernie Wrightson.

Despite this it only lasted on and off for 24 issues until folding with issue 24, November At that time it was a specialised title, like Weird War Tales , combining romance with the supernatural. After its fourth issue this was ended and it went to straight tales of the supernatural. With issue 6, September it received its own narrator in the form of Eve yes, that Eve. Both of her sons, Cain and Abel, would put guest appearances in the title.

It ended its run with issue 18, June-July It was originally hosted by Cain, Abel, Eve, and Destiny, although by its tenth issue Destiny was its only host. It was replaced by Abel with issue 40, September It received its first ongoing series in the form of "Mister E," with issue 31, December Later both Johnny Peril and Dr. It ran until issue November , only to be revived with issue 15, August Thereupon it ran until issue 46, March The next DC Comics title would be the only one besides The Phantom Stranger to feature a continuing character in an ongoing series.
