The '''''EC Archives''''' are an ongoing series of American hardcover collections of full-color [[comic book]] reprints of [[EC Comics]], published by [[Russ Cochran (publisher)|Russ Cochran]] and [[Gemstone Publishing]] from 2006 to 2008, and then continued by Cochran and [[Grant Geissman]]'s GC imprint (2011–2012), and finally taken over by [[Dark Horse Comics|Dark Horse]] in 2013.

The output of [[William Gaines|Bill Gaines]]' [[EC Comics]] line in the 1940s and 1950s is one of the most critically acclaimed of the pre-[[Comics Code]] comics publishers (and one of the major casualties of the Comics Code). Such [[EC Comics]] titles as ''Tales from the Crypt'', ''The Vault of Horror'' and ''[[Weird Science (comic)|Weird Science]]'' are known even to people unfamiliar with the source material, due to movie and television adaptations.

Numerous reprints throughout the decades have also kept EC alive on book store shelves, starting with [[Woody Gelman#Nostalgia Press|Nostalgia Press]]'s ''EC Horror Comics Of The 1950s'' tome (1971), followed by publisher Cochran's six ''EC Portfolio''s (1971–1977), but primarily because of his ''[[Russ Cochran (publisher)#The Complete EC Library|Complete EC Library]]'', printing all of the 'New Trend' comic titles (although missing the unique stories from the three ''[[Three Dimensional E.C. Classics|3-D EC Classics]]'' issues), as well as all of the 'New Direction' and 'Picto-Fiction' titles, and some of the 'Pre-Trend' title issues, in a series of 18 b&w box sets (19 if you include the fact that the ''Mad'' set was done in both color and b&w editions) containing a total of 66 hardcover books, all shot directly from the original art, mostly published from 1979 to 1996, with the Picto-Fiction box being delayed until 2006. Between 1992 and 2000, Cochran and [[Gemstone Publishing]] also produced 295 different [[Russ Cochran (publisher)#Gemstone Publishing EC reprints|full-color individual issue reproductions]] of all the "New Trend' (except ''Mad'') and 'New Direction' EC Comics, and subsequently 63 ''[[Russ Cochran (publisher)#EC Annuals|EC Annuals]]'' which glued together titled chronological overstock copies of those individual issues in a new outer wrapper, in a nod to the original unsold-stock content of the ''EC Annual''s of the 50s, although back in the 1950s there was no specification as to what issues may have been contained inside the covers to those various ''Annual''s, which could vary from copy to copy.

==Digital recoloring==
In 2006, Gemstone began producing a more durable series of hardback reprint collections designed by Michael Kronenberg. Similar to the ''[[DC Archive Editions|DC Archives]]'' and ''[[Marvel Masterworks]]'' series, the ''EC Archives'' superseded Cochran's original annotated ''Complete EC Library'' (of black-and-white stories) by reprinting sequential compilations of EC titles in a full-color, hardback archival format with new annotations. On January 11, 2011, Cochran looked back on the project, noting the differences between his earlier ''Complete EC Library'' and the later ''EC Archives'':

{{blockquote|A few years ago, with the support and encouragement of [[Steve Geppi]] and with the permission of the Gaines Estate, I started on a new format: the EC Archives. These are slightly smaller hardcover books (smaller than the EC Library volumes but larger than the original ten-cent comic books), and because of increased demand and the availability of cheaper color printing in China, the EC Archives books were full color, with new color in an infinite palette now being possible with the advances in technology.<ref>[http://www.weirdfantasy.com/WeirdFantasy/Home/Entries/2011/1/15_Last_Call!.html Russ Cochran Newsletter 19, January 15, 2011.]</ref>}}

Each book reprints six issues, for a total of 24 stories. The original coloring by EC's colorist [[Marie Severin]] was used as a guide for [[Colorist#Digital color|digital re-coloring]] by Jamison Services, a color separation company in [[West Plains, Missouri]], the hometown of publisher Cochran. Allen Jamison and Jamison Services had previously done coloring for the ''DC Archives''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://comicbookdb.com/creator.php?ID=2348 |title=Comic Book Database: Allen Jamison |access-date=August 16, 2011 |archive-date=November 11, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121111014808/http://comicbookdb.com/creator.php?ID=2348 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Also contributing to the project at Cochran's West Plains office were operations manager Angela Meyer and production artist Chris Rock.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.gemstonepub.com/archive/gemstone_update/corporate.html |title=Gemstone Corporate History |access-date=2011-08-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111001035835/http://www.gemstonepub.com/archive/gemstone_update/corporate.html |archive-date=2011-10-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Crediting Kronenberg as "Art Director/Designer and Color Editor" and Marie Severin for "Colors", Cochran explained the digital upgrade given to Severin's coloring; "Most of the original coloring of these stories is the work of EC colorist Marie Severin, and although all of these stories have been re-colored for this new edition, her style of coloring was followed to retain the integrity of the original EC comic books".<ref>EC Archives, 2007.</ref> He later added:

{{blockquote|Technology changes.  We are now able to color these comics with an infinite palette, and to reproduce the artists' linework much more clearly.  If these new computer generated color techniques had been available in the 1950s, I think Bill Gaines would have used it because it makes the EC work even more beautiful.  So the EC material has been printed three different ways:  with the old color, as originally published back in the 1950s, without any color, as it was drawn by the EC artists (the EC Library), and with the best color we can do with modern technology (the EC Archives). It has been my experience that the most dedicated EC fans are not satisfied to have them reprinted only one, or two, ways. They want them all. Those fans will have the old comics in the EC Annuals, the black and white art in the EC Library, and the best color we can produce in the EC Archives. There's room there for everyone.<ref>[http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/forum/index.php?topic=2844.0 Digital Comic Museum]</ref>}}

Along with the original EC advertisements, editorials and letters pages, the books also feature an introduction by Grant Geissman and forewords by [[John Carpenter]], [[Joe Dante]], [[Paul Levitz]], [[George Lucas]], [[Steven Spielberg]], [[R. L. Stine]], Jerry Weist and others. The entirety of the [[List of Entertaining Comics publications#New Trend|New Trend]] and [[List of Entertaining Comics publications#New Direction|New Direction]] comics are planned for eventual release.

''The EC Archives'' publishing history has been a troubled one. The original run was interrupted after 13 volumes, due to financial difficulties at Gemstone Publishing, in 2008. The line was revived for two more volumes by GC Press LLC, a boutique imprint established by Russ Cochran and [[Grant Geissman]], in 2011 (both volumes carry 2011 copyrights, the year of their printing, though due to the vagaries of distribution, they were not released until January 2012). Most recently, the line has been taken up by [[Dark Horse Comics]], who announced plans to resume it with the release of ''Tales from the Crypt Volume 4'' in October 2013.<ref>[http://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/1444/dark-horse-publish-ec-library-tales-crypt-coming-h Dark Horse to Publish EC Library].

==''EC Archives'' schedule==

===Issue numbering===
In the early 1950s, comic book publishers, seeking to save money on second-class postage permits, frequently changed the titles of their comics, rather than start new ones at #1 (a new publication required a new postal permit, while an existing publication that just changed its name could use its existing permit).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://brewminate.com/americas-postwar-fling-with-romance-comics/ |title=America's Postwar Fling with Romance Comics |author=Michael C. Weisenburg |date=February 19, 2020 |work=Brewminate |accessdate=July 12, 2023}}</ref> Because of this, many comics featured in ''The EC Archives'' series do not start with #1. ''War Against Crime'' was replaced by ''The Vault of Horror'' and so numbering for ''The Vault of Horror'' begins with issue #12. Similarly, ''Crime Patrol'' was replaced with ''The Crypt of Terror'' for issue #17. By issue #20, the title changed again to the familiar ''Tales from the Crypt.'' ''The Crypt of Terror'' is not considered a separate series and is included in ''Tales from the Crypt Volume 1''.

The Haunt of Fear, Weird Science, and Weird Fantasy initially started with issues #15, #12, and #13, respectively. However, due to a request from the Post Office, their issue numbering was reset a few issues later. This reset began with The Haunt of Fear #4, Weird Science #5, and Weird Fantasy #6. As a result, there are several comics within those series that share the same issue number. For instance, The Haunt of Fear #15 was first published in 1950 as the inaugural issue of the series, while a second comic, also titled The Haunt of Fear #15, was published in 1952 and marked the 15th issue in the series according to the reset numbering.

Following ''The Haunt of Fear'''s issue numbering being reset, its previous numbering was instead used for a new title, ''Two-Fisted Tales.'' Thus, ''Two-Fisted Tales'' begins with issue #18.

The table below uses the original numbering.
