Key Facts

  • Final EC comic published, with the exception of Mad Magazine
  • Considered the rarest EC publication, this issue had an extremely limited circulation of approximately 100 copies, most of which were distributed to staff and subscribers
  • Due to financial difficulties exacerbated by the widespread adoption of the Comics Code Authority, EC could not afford to bind (staple) the printed pages
  • As a result, nearly the entire print run of approximately 250,000 copies was destroyed
  • Although Shock Illustrated #4 was produced, it was never published until 2006, when all four issues (#1–#4) were released in a hardcover collection
