(Image credit: Oni Press) EC Comics isback from the grave in 2024!The infamous horror and science fiction imprint was one of the most controversial - and most successful - comics publishers of the 20th century, but the rise of the censorious Comics Code Authority in the mid ’50s put an end to its reign of darkly comic terror.

What led to Oni Press reviving EC Comics? Hunter Gorinson:I think everyone has their one thing and my great passion has always been EC Comics. I still remember exactly where I was when I discovered them: I was at Barbarian in Wheaton, Maryland, probably in 1993 or 1994, and my dad handed me a Gemstone reprint of a Vault of Horror comic and said, “Keep your Green Lantern, keep your Thor, keep your X-Men, this is the good stuff!” I kind of scoffed at that, but then I took it home and read it and it absolutely blew my mind that comics could be that intense and powerful. EC just always stuck with me as I got into movies and underground music and comedy. I was constantly seeing where the tendrils of ECs influence had spread into pop culture: everything from John Carpenter’s Halloween to Saturday Night Live to The Onion toJames Gunn’sGuardians of the Galaxymovies. It’s an intensely powerful thing. So how did this comeback happen? One of the great things about working in comics is you get to meet fantastic people whose work you admire. I was introduced to William Gaines' daughter and grandson, Cathy and Corey Mifsud, who indulged me when I began pitching them on why the time was right to potentially bring EC back for the 21st century and if we were going to do that how we could bring a new vision to it. And that is currently the project that we are up to our eyeballs in. They’ve been fantastic partners to work with.

A really great combination of folks! We’re threading all of those sensibilities together and hopefully putting together some compelling - and probably a little bit hardcore - comics for the year 2024. As we’ve been telling the creators, there’d be no sense in doing this if we were going to pull our punches - Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein certainly never did - so if you think you’ve gone too far with the stories that you’re working on, please keep going! You’ve mentioned a specific EC tone a couple of times now. Could you elaborate on that a little? Yeah, there’s some humor and some existential dread and they’re almost two sides of the same coin - the crushing reality of the circumstances you’ve found yourself in, but also the humor that spins out of that hopelessness. The tone and intensity and the point of view is very specific. I don’t think it’s pessimistic, but there’s a certain hard-edged, distinctly American sensibility that bled out into the films of John Carpenter, and some of the films of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. One stylistic thing that is vitally important to maintain is the lettering. There’s a visually distinct lettering style to the original stories called the Leroy Lettering format - they used a machine for it. We have the great Richard Starkings who is doing his best to update that EC lettering style, but it’s still very recognizable.

We had a wish list in the beginning of folks who we thought could inhabit that specific EC tone and most of them have come along for the ride. We’re very fortunate to have everyone from Brian Azzarello and Jason Aaron and Rodney Barnes andMatt Kindtas well as people who we’ve worked with for years at Oni like Cullen Bunn, Jay Stephens who just did Dwellings for us, Zac Thompson, Joshua Fialkov, all contributing stuff. We’ve also had a bunch of folks reach out and be like, ‘EC’s incredible, can I come along and tell a tale or two?‘Klaus Jansonis doing a story in #2 which still blows my mind! What’s been special about this process is finding just how many other folks in the comics community also share this deep reverential love for EC. There’s few greater pleasures as a publisher than being able to pick up the phone and call someone whose work you really admire and say, ‘Hey, here’s a sentence you probably didn’t think you would hear this morning when you woke up. ‘Would you like to write a new EC Comics story?’ And then watching people’s eyes light up.

Our intention was to start in a recognizable place, essentially where EC left off, but then over the course of our initial round of titles we have a plan that extends probably about three years into the future at this point. We’ll continuously be running at least two EC Comics titles a month for the near future. We’re going to pull back the iris a little bit of what EC can be in the year 2024. There will probably be some news coming out of San Diego Comic-Con, but I will say this: the next book that we do, the third book, will not be in a genre that EC specifically did stories in before. They dabbled in it, but they never had a title fully committed to it before. And then not everything we do over the course of the next year will be an anthology. We think we can take that EC tone and apply it to some other dimensions of modern publishing that haven’t been fully explored before. That’s the exciting part of doing this. That’s part of the reason why we’re not doing Tales from the Crypt #1. Let’s not do a complete template replica of what EC was 70 years ago. Instead, let’s pick up that torch and hopefully expand the horizons of what it can do into the future. EC employed some incredible artists, including some of the names that make up our guide tothe best horror comics artists of all time.
