The EC Archives continues with Shock SuspenStories Volume One. A 212-page hardcover volume collecting the first six issues of the legendary comics series originally published in 1952! Included are stories by Al Feldstein, William Gaines and more, with art by legendary illustrators Wally Wood, Joe Orlando, Jack Kamen, Al Feldstein and others.

Each volume also includes all of the original EC advertisements, editorial pieces and even letters pages, to give readers a true idea what made EC one of the most influential comic book lines ever created.

The EC Archives editions presents these stories with all-new colours based on the originals, but utilizing new methods of shading and texture to enhance and improve each story's impact. The reproduction of these volumes is the best ever presented, as each of The EC Archives will be shot directly from the original EC art! This volume includes an introduction by Steven Speilberg.

Once unjustly maligned as a cause of escalating teen delinquency during the '50s, the EC Comics line — created by publisher William Gaines and a host of some of comics' most legendary artists — is now considered by scholars, fans, and collectors alike as a milestone achievement in graphic storytelling, years ahead of its time.
These comics entertained millions during their all-too-short runs and influenced some of our generation's most talented writers, filmmakers, and artists. They have inspired cartoons, movies, TV series, and countless parodies and tributes, and now these classics of the 20th century are set to return, presented in a stunning new format for the 21st century!
