EC Comics
Entertaining Comics, more commonly known as EC Comics, was an American publisher of comic books, which specialized in horror fiction, crime fiction, satire, military fiction and science fiction from the 1940s through the mid-1950s, notably the ''Tales from the Crypt'' series. In 1954–55, censorship pressures prompted it to concentrate on the humor magazine ''Mad'', leading to the company's greatest and most enduring success. Initially, EC was privately owned by Maxwell Gaines and specialized in educational and child-oriented stories. Later, during its period of notoriety, it was owned by his son, William Gaines.
==Educational Comics==
The firm, first known as Educational Comics, was founded by Max Gaines, former editor of the comic-book company All-American Publications. When that company merged with DC Comics in 1944, Gaines retained rights to the comic book ''Picture Stories from the Bible'', and began his new company with a plan to market comics about science, history and the Bible to schools and churches. A decade earlier, Max Gaines had been one of the pioneers of the comic book form, with Eastern Color Printing's proto-comic book ''Funnies on Parade'', and with Dell Publishing's ''Famous Funnies: A Carnival of Comics'',〔(''Famous Famous – Carnival of Comics'' ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 considered by historians the first true American comic book.〔Goulart, Ron.
