About the series
From 1946 to 1964, EC published Reddy Kilowatt, an 11-issue promotional comic starring the iconic lightning-bolt-shaped mascot of electric utilities. Primarily written by Gardner Fox and most frequently drawn by Joe Orlando, the series combined educational messages about electricity safety and efficiency with light adventure stories. It stands as a charming example of mid-century corporate comics, blending public service with the polished storytelling of EC’s pre-horror era.
