Well aparently in the USA, they outsell Disney Comics!       ; )
  (but then all comics do! - there are still no  USA Disney Comics)

  In the current Previews, the EC (Gemstone) titles for October will be Crime 
Patrol and War Against Crime.   I would suggest that a newcomer to EC start 
with what I consider their best comics:  Shock Suspenstories and Crime 
Suspenstories.  Unless you really enjoyed the TV show, I'd skip the horror 
comics till later.
