About the series
Walter Gibson, creator of The Shadow, brought his pulp expertise to EC Comics' Blackstone, a single-issue 1947 title that introduced the magician and detective as a costumed hero. Illustrated by Elmer Stoner, this short-lived series stands as an early EC publication, predating the publisher's famous horror and science fiction output. It offers a glimpse into the company's pre-Code crime and adventure roots, starring a character who would later reappear in other EC titles.
