Shock SuspenStories #1 (EC, 1952)

One of the most iconic EC Comics covers ever! The grim electric-chair scene is full of wonderful expressions that range from shock to horror to revulsion to demented glee! Inside the issue, the EC gang noted, "We feel a word of explanation is due regarding the cover! As you will discover, it has nothing to do with any of the stories in this magazine! Since this was to be the first issue of SHOCK, we wanted a real shock cover! Know of anything more shocking than an electric chair? Neither did we, so that was it!"
