Shock SuspenStories (EC Comics Reprints Overview, 1990s, Russ Cochran)
The Shock SuspenStories reprint series from Russ Cochran faithfully reproduces the legendary EC Comics anthology that originally ran from 1952 to 1955. Known for its powerful blend of social drama, crime, horror, and morality tales, Shock SuspenStories pushed the boundaries of 1950s comic storytelling with sophisticated writing and stunning artwork.
Each issue features four gripping stories crafted by EC’s core creative team — Al Feldstein, Bill Gaines, Wally Wood, Jack Kamen, Joe Orlando, Reed Crandall, and George Evans — tackling themes like prejudice, corruption, revenge, and hypocrisy. These reprints maintain the full-color brilliance and period authenticity of the originals, complete with the distinctive EC storytelling structure and iconic cover art.
The Russ Cochran editions were released throughout the 1990s as part of the EC Library and later as individual comic-sized reprints. Printed on high-quality paper using restored original artwork, they serve as definitive collector editions for fans of classic EC horror and suspense.
Full color. Approx. 36 pages per issue.
