Entertaining Comics, commonly known as EC Comics, was a major publisher of comic books in the 1940s and 1950s. The letters EC originally stood for Educational Comics. EC's ''Pre-Trend'' titles are those published by Max Gaines and his son William M. Gaines, who took over the family business after his father's death in 1947. In 1950, with the addition of writer and artist Al Feldstein, EC found success with their ''New Trend'' line, including their horror titles ''Tales From the Crypt'' ''The Haunt of Fear'' and ''The Vault of Horror''. A line of science fiction titles soon followed, ''Weird Science'' and ''Weird Fantasy'', illustrated by the best artists in the business, such as Wallace Wood, Reed Crandall, Johnny Craig, George Evans, Graham Ingels, Jack Davis, Bill Elder, Joe Orlando, Al Williamson and Frank Frazetta. In addition to original stories, the books also featured adaptations of Ray Bradbury's short stories. The ''New Direction'' group was a response to the Comics Code Authority. ''Picto-Fiction'' was a short-lived line of heavily illustrated short story magazines. Beginning in 1958, EC published annual and special editions of ''Mad''. ==Pre-Trend== *''Animal Fables'' (1946–1947) #1-7 *''Animated Comics'' (1947) #1 *''Blackstone the Magician Detective Fights Crime'' (1947) #1 *''Crime Patrol'' (1948–1950) #7-16 (continued as ''The Crypt of Terror'') *''Dandy Comics'' (1947–1948) #1-7 *''Fat and Slat'' (1947–1948) #1-4 (continued as ''Gunfighter'') *''Gunfighter'' (1948–1950) #5-14 (continued as ''The Haunt of Fear'') *''Happy Houlihans'' (1947) #1-2 (continued as ''Saddle Justice'') *''International Comics'' (1947) #1-5 (continued as ''International Crime Patrol'') *''International Crime Patrol'' (1948) #6 (continued as ''Crime Patrol'') *''Land of the Lost'' (1946–1948) #1-9 *''Modern Love'' (1949–1950) #1-8 *''A Moon, a Girl...Romance'' (1949–1950) #9-12 (continued as ''Weird Fantasy'') *''Moon Girl'' (1947–1949) #2-6 (continued as ''Moon Girl Fights Crime!'') *''Moon Girl and the Prince'' (1947) #1 (continued as ''Moon Girl'') *''Moon Girl Fights Crime!''
