I can't recall if it was directly to DC, or if the entity that bought it then sold it to DC later on. As far as I can tell the remainder of EC comics still is owned by the Gaines family. Regarding reprinting rights, those belonged to Russ Cochran, who in the 1990s I believe sold his entire outfit to Gemstone Publishing, so the remainder of the EC reprints (which included everything but Mad since it belonged to DC) were handled by them. <a href="/wiki/User:Quiddity99" title="User:Quiddity99">Quiddity99</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Quiddity99" title="User talk:Quiddity99">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:EC_Comics#c-Quiddity99-2009-02-22T01:13:00.000Z-Coffee4binky-2009-02-21T19:48:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:13, 22 February 2009 (UTC)</a>Quiddity99<span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Quiddity99-2009-02-22T01:13:00.000Z-Coffee4binky-2009-02-21T19:48:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Quiddity99-2009-02-22T01:13:00.000Z-Coffee4binky-2009-02-21T19:48:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <p><br/><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Emb021-2007-04-27T20:12:00.000Z-DC_Comics"></span> Perhaps add something about EC comics being reprinted in the '90s?

For one thing, Gaines was not behind the creation of the ACMP, he was behind the creation of the Comics Code which was eventually his undoing. As stated in the article, Gaines originally formed it to fight censorship, but his fellow publishers did the exact opposite and used it to censor comics for decades afterwards. Also, I added some clarification regarding the ACMP, in that it never really had all that much an effect on reducing the violence in comics, in fact it got much, much worse as the years went by until the creation of the comics code. And finally, I added clarification regarding when EC left the ACMP, it was around the end of 1951. The ACMP logo still appears on the EC comics until the early 1952 covers (the publish date would be 3-4 months before the cover date), which is where I got the date from. <a href="/wiki/User:Quiddity99" title="User:Quiddity99">Quiddity99</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:EC_Comics#c-Quiddity99-2006-10-16T03:45:00.000Z-Backlash_Section" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:45, 16 October 2006 (UTC)</a>Quiddity99<span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Quiddity99-2006-10-16T03:45:00.000Z-Backlash_Section"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Quiddity99-2006-10-16T03:45:00.000Z-Backlash_Section"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Judgement_Day" data-mw-thread-id="h-Judgement_Day-2007-01-01T19:27:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Judgement_Day-2007-01-01T19:27:00.000Z"></span>Judgement Day<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Judgement_Day-2007-01-01T19:27:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:EC_Comics&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Judgement Day"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Quiddity99-2007-01-01T19:27:00.000Z-Judgement_Day"></span>Tenebrae, per your request, here's a couple of sources regarding the situation surrounding Judgement Day, one of the most well known stories out there regarding EC. </p><p>First, from Diehl's Tales From the Crypt the Official Archives, an excerpt from page 95 (the entire page is dedicated to this issue). </p><p>-- This really made 'em go bananas in the Code czar's office. "Judge Murphy was off his nut. He was really out to get us," recalls Feldstein. "I went in there with this story and Murphy says 'It can't be a black man.' But... but that's the whole point of the story!" Feldstein sputtered. When Murphy continued to insist that the black man had to go, Feldstein put it on the line. "Listen," he told Murphy, "you've been riding us and making it impossible to put out anything at all because you guys just want us out of business." Al reported the results of his audience with the czar to Gaines, who was furious. Bill immediately picked up the phone and called Murphy. "This is ridiculous!" he bellowed. "I'm going to call a press conference on this. You have no grounds, no basis, to do this. I'll sue you". Murphy made what he surely thought was a gracious concession. "All right. Just take off the beads of sweat." At that, Gaines and Feldstein both went ballistic. "Fuck you!" they shouted into the telephone in unison. Murphy hung up on them, but the story ran in its original form. -- </p><p>A second reference is an interview with Al Feldstein from Geissman and Bernewitz's Tales of Terror: </p><p>-- Feldstein: (in reference to Murphy's response) "So he said it can't be a black. So I said "For Gods sakes, Judge Murphy, thats the whole point of the Goddamn story!" So he said, "No, it can't be a black". </p><p>(later) Bill just called him up and raised the roof, and finally they said, "Well, you gotta take the perspiration off." I had the stars glistening in the perspiration on his black skin. Bill said "Fuck You" and he hung up. -- </p><p>I'm restoring the material. Also, I've revised the ACMP discussion at the start of the Backslash section based on material from these sources.

They advise against italicizing quotations because italics are meant for emphasis (if everything is emphasized, nothing is), and they are redundant to proper formatting such as enclosing quotation marks or block quotation. You argue that it makes it easier to read, but I argue it's harder. As for needing to tell them apart, the quotation formatting already puts spacing around the quotes. You might be mistaking these kinds of quotes with <a href="/wiki/Pull_quote" title="Pull quote">pull quotes</a>, which are meant to be differentiated, but these quotes are part of the article text and should naturally flow with it. <a href="/wiki/User:Opencooper" title="User:Opencooper">Opencooper</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Opencooper" title="User talk:Opencooper">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:EC_Comics#c-Opencooper-2016-04-19T20:15:00.000Z-AychAych-2016-04-19T20:07:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:15, 19 April 2016 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Opencooper-2016-04-19T20:15:00.000Z-AychAych-2016-04-19T20:07:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Opencooper-2016-04-19T20:15:00.000Z-AychAych-2016-04-19T20:07:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="External_links_modified" data-mw-thread-id="h-External_links_modified-2016-12-18T13:37:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-External_links_modified-2016-12-18T13:37:00.000Z"></span>External links modified<span data-mw-comment-end="h-External_links_modified-2016-12-18T13:37:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:EC_Comics&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: External links modified"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-InternetArchiveBot-2016-12-18T13:37:00.000Z-External_links_modified"></span>Hello fellow Wikipedians, </p><p>I have just modified 2 external links on <a href="/wiki/EC_Comics" title="EC Comics">EC Comics</a>.
