About the series
A landmark of EC's earliest days, Picture Stories from American History (1945–1947) was an ambitious educational comic that presented key moments from the nation’s past in a clear, dramatic style. Published over four issues, it was spearheaded by M. C. Gaines and W. W. D. Sones, with scripts by Jerry Coleman and meticulous artwork by Allen Simon. Though short-lived, the series stands as a testament to the early potential of comics as a tool for learning, predating EC's later horror and science-fiction fame.
