Key Facts

Considered to be the rarest EC publication

Due to distribution problems and EC publisher William Gaines' financial troubles, brought on in part by the industry wide adoption of the Comics Code Authority, all but 100-200 of this issue's initial estimated 250,00 print run were destroyed, and those remaining copies were bound and distributed amongst staff and subscribers
