About the series
A short-lived but pivotal 1947 EC title, International Comics ran for just five issues, featuring the early work of writer Gardner Fox and artists Clem Weisbecker and Sheldon Moldoff. The series is best remembered as the debut vehicle for the original EC superhero, Van Manhattan, a scientist who gained super-strength from a nuclear accident. Though brief, it stands as a fascinating artifact of EC's pre-horror era, showcasing the publisher's initial foray into costumed heroes before the company's legendary shift into crime and horror comics.
