In "The Vault-Keeper's Corner," Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein call readers' attention to the downturn in the comics market brought about by the sheer glut of horror titles crowding the newsstands. This glut, and the resulting scramble by publishers to attract readers by any means necessary, helps explain why horror comics grew increasingly gruesome from about this date forward: "We were highly successful in horror, science-fiction, and then in war comics. Our success led to other publishers loading the stands with their horror, s-f, and war comics... loading the stands to an extent that in September 1952, there were over 500 different comic mags being published! An incredible total... an impossible total! ...We are telling you all this because we want to ask a favor... KEEP BUYING E.C. MAGAZINES! ...We need your business to stay in business!" A deluxe limited edition of 12 hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a small number of softcovers. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake.
