	FBI File of William M. Gaines, of Mad Magazine and EC Fame
		Gaines volunteered to testify on behalf of the industry, but was taken aback by the tone of the questions he got.
		Two years later, the FBI followed through on the Army's request and asked the Attorney General whether the comics violated the law, but their request was probably moot, since by this time the Korean War was nearly over, and almost all of the war comics had ceased publication.
		Frank Jacobs, in his book, The Mad World of William Gaines, reported that Mad had run afoul of the FBI on at least two occasions, neither of which shows up in the released files.

	William M. Gaines + William Dean Howells
		William M. Gaines became a comic book publisher literally by accident when, in 1947, his father, the publisher of Educational Comics, died in a freak boating accident.
		The 25-year-old Gaines inherited EC, which he changed to "Entertaining Comics," but a book by Dr. Frderic Wertham, Seduction of the Innocent, charged that full-color horror and science-fiction comic books — which happened to be Gaines's most popular titles — caused juvenile delinquency.
		When emphasizing his sincerity, wrote biographer Frank Jacobs, Gaines would declare, "On my honor as an atheist..." Also, when long-time contributor Dave Berg would greet him with "May God give you his blessing," Gaines would politely reply, "Dave, shut the hell up!"* His friends were just as candid at Gaines's memorial, on 5 June 1992.

		Each year, contributors with sufficient sales and staff members are invited to accompany Gaines abroad, first to the Caribbean, and, from 1966, to every continent with a restaurant.
		Documents suggest the committee had already decided to browbeat the industry into squashing Gaines in particular, and other publishers of material which, while not remarkable when compared to the rest of popular culture of the time, still offended the personal tastes of the committee members and staff.

	GASP!
		William Gaines never gave any indication in his early life that he would someday become a successful publisher and the father of comic book horror.
		Gaines used the success of these cash cows to fund the lesser-selling science fiction and war titles, and found himself able to produce the kinds of tales that he himself would want to read, horror and otherwise.
		Gaines used his EC titles as a forum to fight the formation of the Code, taking out full page house ads that attempted to rally his fans and supporters in the industry, but realized in a short time that his struggle was futile.

		As a fan of MAD Magazine and EC Horror, I was introduced to William M. Gaines when MAD reprinted this biography throughout a few issues of MAD XL.
		Until then, I had only known that he was the founder and former publisher (until his death in the early 1990s) and that Dave Berg always drew his portrait with the beard poking through the picture frame.
		As it was written by MAD writer Frank Jacobs, The MAD World of William M. Gaines is not the typical, dry biography of a millionaire publisher -- and whether you're a MAD fan or not, Gaines lead an eccentric lifestyle that's simultaneously interesting, inspiring, touching, and often laugh-out-loud hilarious.
