<B>Impact #1 Gaines File pedigree 5/12 (EC, 1955) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white pages.</B></I> EC's "New Direction" was, ostensibly, to conform to the new (at the time) Comics Code Authority, which, of course, turned out to be the death knell of EC comics. The first issue of this "New Direction" title, however, was not Code-approved. Old habits die young! In this case, it was attributed to a famous story <I>Master Race</B></I> by Bernie Krigstein, with a Code-unacceptable Nazi concentration camp theme. Other artists included Jack Davis (cover), Reed Crandall, Graham Ingels, and George Evans. Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $265. CGC census 10/06: 2 in 9.2, 1 higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Slabbed Comic (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
