About this book
An informal and personal description of the rise and fall of comic books in the '40s and '50s, with a focus on the Educational Comics (E. C. ) company run by Gains, father then son (M. C. then William).
The fall came in two steps, the first in the '40s and aimed at crime comics, and the second in the '50s and aimed at almost all comics, but with emphasis on horror comics.
