About the series
From 1997 to 2000, Gemstone revived the satirical spirit of EC Comics with Panic Annual, a three-issue series reprinting the irreverent humor of the original 1950s Panic title. Anchored by the barbed wit of writer Albert B. Feldstein and the madcap visuals of artists Bill Elder and Jack Davis, each issue skewered everything from politics to pop culture with a gleeful, over-the-top edge. It’s a compact but essential slice of EC’s legacy, reminding readers why this brand of anarchic comedy still stings and tickles decades later.
