245 The Ups and Downs of EC ComicsHistory by Ted White

Al Williamson engaged a fluid group of talented sidemen to assist him in various ways over the years. For the art credits for this book, we have relied on Williamson’s own statements and the judgment of those familiar with his art and career. Note: “(s)” indicates instances where an assistant signed or initialed the story.

Editor/writer Al Feldstein wrote more scripts for EC than anyone else, virtually all in collaboration with publisher William M. Gaines. Gaines’s creative involvement reflected the pride he took in his comics and was another way in which EC Comics distinguished itself. Almost daily, Gaines and Feldstein co-plotted a new story based on Gaines’s “springboards,” from which Feldstein produced a script. It was, by all accounts, a creatively symbiotic and satisfying partnership.

Feldstein did not write every script and EC did not publish writer credits. EC’s master records no longer exist. Based on the best information available, we believe the creative credits above to be accurate. We welcome any corrections.
