End of War Against Crime!
Horror comics emerged as a distinct comic book genre after World War IIwhen young adult males lost interest in caped crimebusters and returning GIs wanted more potent themes in their reading. One-shot Eerie Comics(1947) is generally considered the first true horror comic with its cover depicting a dagger-wielding, red-eyed ghoul threatening a rope-bound,scantily clad, voluptuous young woman beneath a full moon. In 1948,Adventures Into the Unknown became the first regularly published horror title, enjoying a nearly two decade lifespan.

In 1950, Gaines and his editor Al Feldstein discovered they shared similar tastes in horror and began experimenting with such stories in EC's crime comic War Against Crime and its companion title, Crime Patrol. With issue #12 the War Against Crime title was replaced with The Vault of Horror.
