MAD magazineEditor’s note: DC Comics President Paul Levitz returns to Blog@ once again to post memories of meeting Will Elder and E.C. Comics.
by Paul Levitz
The passing of Will Elder has me thinking of the amazing moment in time that was E.C. Comics. I think we met at 1972’s legendary E.C. Fan-Addict Convention, but that [...]
