The worst (best) of the 1950's

hunterguy:
Which comic book title from 50-55 would you say was the best representation of all that comics were banned for.  violence/sadist, bondage, headlights, etc...? 

I am trying to find out about more of the horror/sci-fi /crime/war from this time period. 

Mister Mystery seems like a contender.

I actually enjoys EC by far of all I have found (I have all 18 sets of The Complete EC Library) the most classic cover being Crime Suspenstories #22 & 23.

what do you think?

narfstar:
I think Thing was another good choice plus anything from Comic Media

CharlieRock:
I think this cover was the one that a congressman held up when they had those infamous hearings.

This is the best online history I have read of comic books from the Golden Age.

"Murder, Morphine and Me!" by Cole is one of the more intense crime stories from the era which had a panel used in Seduction of the Innocent (the classic needle in the eye one.)

Sadly we don't have that issue on DCM but it's been reprinted several times as you can see here:

Another publisher that is worth checking out is Canada's SUPERIOR who had three horror titles.
