Gaines '" by Ted White was the first in a series of nostalgic, analytical articles about comics by Lupoff, Don Thompson, Bill Blackbeard, Jim Harmon and others under the heading, All In Color For A Dime.

This article caught the attention of comics publisher Max Gaines, who hired Marston as an Educational Consultant for National Periodicals and All-American Publications, two of the companies that would later merge to form DC Comics.

Following a shift in EC's direction in 1950, Gaines presided over what became an artistically influential and historically important line of mature-audience comics.

Gaines was the son of Max Gaines, who as publisher of the All-American Comics division of DC Comics was also an influential figure in the history of comics.

The elder Gaines tested the idea of packaging and selling comics on newsstands in 1933.

Bill Gaines found his niche in publishing horror, science fiction, satire and war comics.

By 1955, EC was effectively driven out of business by the backlash, and by the Comics Magazine Association of America This was an industry group that Gaines himself had suggested to the industry in order to insulate themselves from outside censorship, but he soon lost control of the organization to John Goldwater, publisher of the innocuous Archie teenage comics.

Although he had already ceased publishing his line of horror comics, Gaines refused to subscribe to the Code, considering it hypocritical and not applicable to the new, clean line of realistic comics that he was promoting by then.

When that company merged with DC Comics in 1944, Gaines retained rights to the comic book Picture Stories from the Bible, and began his new company with a plan to market comics about science, history and the Bible to schools and churches.

When Max Gaines died in 1947 in a boating accident, his son William inherited the comics company.

After Max Gaines ' death, Educational Comics was taken over by his son Bill Gaines, who transformed the company ( now known as EC Comics ) into a pioneer of horror, science fiction and satirical comics.

When publisher William Gaines contended that he sold only comic books of good taste, one of Gaines ' comics cover was entered into evidence which showed an axe-wielding man holding aloft a severed woman's head.

As with the other EC comics edited by Feldstein, the stories in this comic were primarily based on Gaines reading a large number of horror stories and using them to develop " springboards " from which he and Feldstein could launch new stories.

This was one of five titles cancelled by Gaines in 1954 due to the increasing controversy surrounding horror and crime comics and the subsequent unwillingness of distributors to ship his comic books.

Shock SuspenStories was one of five comics voluntarily folded by publisher Bill Gaines in 1955 due to the outcry over horror and crime comics.

The Lamb was to have revolved around Chris Gaines, a fictional rock singer and his emotionally conflicted life as a musician in the public eye.

Gaines doesn't understand how Shorty has gotten so many technicians to side with him ; psychological screening tests are supposed to guarantee that technicians don't have the temperament to revolt.

Gaines accesses Shorty's psychological profile and studies the neurotic traits that have made him a demagogue.

Later, Gaines ponders the changes that will have to be made to make sure there is never a recurrence of these events: more psychological testing, more careful oversight, and more esprit de corps.

On the other hand, Gaines rejected a lucrative incentive package from Warner Brothers that would have been based on increased sales of Mad ; Gaines explained that the act of accepting the incentive would have falsely suggested that he was not already doing everything within his abilities to maximize the magazine's circulation.

Discovering that Mad had a grand total of one Haitian subscriber, Gaines arranged to have the group driven to the person's house.

In 1960, Gaines had arranged to move the magazine's offices to the 69th floor of the Empire State Building, but switched to a different location in the East 50s because one of the women in Mads subscription department would have been terrified of the length of the elevator ride.

A film biopic, Ghoulishly Yours, William M. Gaines, has long been in pre-production ; director John Landis and screenwriter Joel Eisenberg have been attached to the project since 2008, with Feldstein as a creative consultant.

Years later, Gaines unsurprisingly confessed, " We would have hired him anyway.

Accounts vary as to whether Gaines did this purely on his own initiative or was encouraged by the NAACP simply to have a plaintiff, without any real interest of his own in attending law school.

Houston later yielded when it was apparent Gaines was the only available plaintiff, but never explained what his initial objections might have been.

" Gaines family members and descendants believe he and possibly the family as a whole had received death threats, and given their background in rural Mississippi would have been too fearful to report them to the police.

Since extrajudicial abductions and murders of African Americans who challenged segregation were not unheard of at the time, and the three lawyers frequently spoke out and demanded investigations when they believed they had occurred, he thinks that they had no such evidence and believed that the erratic Gaines, whom they knew to have grown resentful of the NAACP and his role in the lawsuit, had purposely dropped out of sight.

" That organization — the N-A-A-C-P or whatever it was — had him going around here making speeches ," Gaines told Clayton, " but when he got ready to go to Kansas City, I had to let him have $ 10 so he could get himself a white shirt.

While Garrison mostly reiterated Clayton's reporting, finding no new facts about the disappearance itself or Gaines ' time in Chicago, he found some more direct evidence that Gaines might indeed have fled to Mexico and lived out his life there.

Greene, who died in 1988, claimed to have spoken on the telephone with Gaines, whose voice he recognized instantly, several times.

The two made plans to have dinner together, but Gaines didn't show up.

" The Louisville Defender, that city's African American newspaper, expressed similar sentiments in a December 1939 editorial: " hether Gaines has been bribed, intimidated or worse, should certainly have little permanent effect on the struggle for equal rights and social justice in connection with Negro education in the South ... Negroes are already hammering upon the doors of graduate schools hitherto closed to them, with increasing persistence.

The Lamb was to have revolved around Chris Gaines, a fictional rock singer and his emotionally conflicted life as a musician in the public eye.

He did, however, have a crush on Chris Gaines as revealed on an episode hosted by Garth Brooks, only to have his dreams crushed when Gaines revealed himself as Brooks.
