TERROR ILLUSTRATED
Vol. 1 No. 1
November-December 1955
I.C. Publishing Company, Inc.
Publisher: Bill Gaines
Editor: Al Feldstein
Cover: Reed Crandall
Pages: 60
Cover price: 25 cents
The cover title read "Adult Tales of Terror Illustrated" but shortened up on the indicia for this first of another bold experiment by Bill Gaines. This was printed in a magazine-size format to skirt the Comics Code Authority which had seized censorship power over the comic book industry the previous year. A part of the "picto-fiction" line, it lasted for only two issues; a third was prepped but not printed because EC's distributor went bankrupt. You can get the reprinted collection, including the unpublished third issue at many of the usual sources including HERE.
