6/10/2023 0 Comments PANIC by Russ Cochran![]() ![]() NOTE: Originally only available in the Complete EC Library Slipcase Set. Featuring stories by Jack Davis, Joe Orlando, Jack Kamen, Bill Elder, and Wally Wood. The overwhelming success of Mad naturally led to a host of imitators, and Panic was EC publisher Bill Gaines's own in-house companion to the wildly successful Mad, calling it 'the only authorized imitation.' Although Panic lasted just 12 issues and was edited by Al Feldstein and not Harvey Kurtzman, it is loaded with the same pointed and cutting parody as well as the same superstar lineup of artists, including Wally Wood, Jack Davis, Bill Elder, Jack Kamen, Joe Orlando and even the one and only Basil Wolverton. Tales of humor, both light and dark, from the Golden Age of Comics. As a rule, the best surviving examples of ECs are Gaines File Copies. They are recognized for near-perfect structure and very high page quality. ![]() ![]() The Gaines File Copies are examples of each issue published that were personally hand-selected for quality by editor Bill Gaines, carefully wrapped, and stored safely for decades. This book includes the Gaines File Copy certificate signed by Bill Gaines, Russ Cochran, & Bob Overstreet. The eye appeal is off the charts - this book looks like it was printed yesterday - and CGC has assigned its newsstand-fresh page quality designation, White Pages. This super-sharp pristine CGC 9.8 from the Gaines File Copy Pedigree collection for EC's Panic #2 is the highest graded example that CGC has ever certified for this issue. Square bound Soft cover Full color Includes front & back cover, ads & letters. ![]()
