Issue count: 28
EC offered the creme-de-la-creme of stories and artwork, and Haunt Of Fear is a book that has gained legendary status among collectors! Pre-code horror at it's finest! Check going prices by clicking the title link!
EC Comics were almost without peer in the late 40’s through the mid-50’s as far as chilling. imaginative stories, and, equally importantly, very high quality artwork. Although many companies offered horror and sci-fi titles, working for EC represented the pinnacle of comic book heights as far as the most desired company to work for
It can be argued that Haunt Of Fear was one of EC’s flagship book (along with Vault of Horror, Crime SuspenStories and Weird Science); although it only ran 28 issues (Spring 1950 through Winter 1954), it really set the precedent for unexplained, chilling, supernatural hauntings, bizarre deaths, ritualistic torture, and macabre murder scenarios. Heck, the book had 3 alternating narrators framing the stories, each terrifying in their own way; The Old Witch, The Vault Keeper, and The Crypt Keeper!
One must only look at the roster of creative talent involved over the years on this title to know that you were not dealing with your run-of-the-mill supernatural / suspense book! Among the creative legends that worked on the title were Johnny Craig, Wally Wood, Jack Kamen, Jack Davis, George Roussos, Joe Orlando, Marie Severin, Reed Crandall, Al Feldstein, Graham Ingels,and George Evans.
The story is often told, but bears repeating, that there became a general upheaval about graphic content in comic books, and how that may have been a contributing factor in the supposed increase in juvenile delinquency. This theory was perpetuated by one Dr. Frederick Wertham, in his pop psychology-exploitation-sensationalist book Seduction Of The Innocent - in which he actually cited certain EC books as being particularly objectionable.
This all led to putting the proverbial “nail-in-the-coffin” for all of the publishers releasing graphic suspense and horror comics, who either ceased publication altogether, or offered more watered-down fare after being strong-armed to “voluntarily” adopt a code of the do's and don’ts for comic book content. Comics in general survived, and indeed experienced a renaissance-of-sorts when the big second superhero craze hit in the early to late 60’s.
EC Comics, however, would make their money now through their wildly popular Mad Magazine.
All EC books from the late 40’s to early 50’s are highly collectible, but Haunt Of Fear are demanding some astronomical prices on the market!
