Im Jahr 1947 erbte Bill Gaines EC Comics , den noch jungen Verlag seines legendären Vaters M. C. Gaines, der während seiner Zeit bei All-American Publications für die Geburt des Comics, wie wir ihn kennen, mitverantwortlich war und der Welt Wonder Woman und Green Lantern bescherte. In den nächsten acht Jahren sollten Bill Gaines und ein "Who is Who" der Ära , darunter Al Feldstein, Harvey Kurtzman und Wally Wood , mit Titeln wie Tales from the Crypt, Crime SuspenStories, Weird Science und MAD den Begriff des Comics nochmal vollkommen neu erfinden. EC begeisterte seine Leser mit blutigen, morbiden Horror- und Crime-Comics , die sich durch spontane und ironische Auflösungen auszeichneten. Zugleich leistete man Pionierarbeit mit den ersten lebensechten Kriegscomics, den ersten "echten" Science-Fiction-Geschichten und einer Reihe von Storys über Tabu-Themen wie Rassismus, Bigotterie, Selbstjustiz, Drogensucht, Polizeikorruption und Antisemitismus. Letztlich waren die Inhalte zu edgy und anspruchsvoll, um langfristig zu bestehen - verschiedene Moralwächter der 1950er Jahre waren überzeugt davon, dass die ausgefallenen Inhalte der EC-Comics Jugendkriminalität beförderten. Ca. ein Jahr nach einer umfassenden öffentlichen Untersuchung der Horror- und Crime-Comics verschwanden die bahnbrechenden EC-Heftchen wieder von der Bildfläche. TASCHEN präsentiert die ganze faszinierende Geschichte dieses legendären Unternehmens - konzipiert, gestaltet und verfasst vom EC-Experten Grant Geissman in Zusammenarbeit mit der Familie Gaines, die dafür ihre Archive öffnete und über 100 bislang unveröffentlichte Raritäten zutage förderte. Viele der Titelbilder wurden von Gaines' eigenen Archivexemplaren reproduziert, die weithin als die am besten erhaltenen Ausgaben von EC-Comics gelten. Selbst eingefleischteste EC-Fanatiker werden hier noch etwas Neues finden. Mit mehr als 1.000 Abbildungen - darunter seltene und berüchtigte Cover, Innenseiten, Illustrationen, rare Fotos, Vintage-Originalzeichnungen - und einigen der berühmtesten Geschichten , die jemals für einen Cent vierfarbig gedruckt wurden, ist dies das ultimative EC-Comics-Kompendium. Ein Muss für jeden Comic-Enthusiasten oder Popkultur-Historiker!

Hiding from Coworkers Has Never Looked So Classy
Color: Frost
Let me tell you something: this divider isn’t just a piece of furniture...it’s a sanctuary, a confessional booth for the emotionally exhausted, and a glorious wall between me and other people’s nonsense. I slid behind this beauty like a barfly dodging an ex, and baby, I felt safe. It's lightweight, but sturdy enough to block out both sunlight and bad vibes. The fabric’s got a fancy little texture, which is great if you're hiding and still wanna feel aesthetic. It moves easy, it stands tall, and it gives me just enough space to eat my sad desk lunch in peace while pretending I’m in a better timeline. Final Word: Perfect for offices, bedrooms, dressing rooms, or wherever you need to spiritually disassociate. Whether you’re blocking out sunlight or Barbara’s unsolicited MLM pitch, this thing’s got your back. Literally. Five stars. Would (and likely will) emotionally withdraw again.

Great quality, perfect height to block the sun from the skylights.
Color: Frost, Color: Frost
We have skylights in our home that don't have shades yet so when we are in our loft, the sun will either blind us or make it unable to see our monitors clearly. So while we're waiting on installing shades, we thought to get a cover to block out the sun and this is perfect! It's tall enough to block out the sun and easy enough to move around as the sun moves. I don't love the way the cover looks, but it seems like it might be changeable. I think for privacy when we have guests in the loft, we would need a few more of these. The base is very sturdy and the quality overall is perfect. It is pricey, but most of these panels are. So really happy with this divider!

Works great but lacking value
Color: Nocturne
It's a well packaged item including a simple tool set and a clear instruction. No smell. I put it together just by myself in about 15-20 minutes without any problems. The base is solid pieces of metal, and it stands very sturdy. It's also light enough for me to move it around in my office to serve different purposes. I like the color and the quality of the fabric. It blends in with my office space perfectly. I needed it as a partition between my desk and the door, and the background for my video conference call. Surprisingly, it can also deflect the air coming down from the AC vent behind my desk. I didn't expect it to 100% soundproofing (not its purpose), but I feel it did absorb some humming sound from my mini fridge behind my desk. Sturdy metal for free-standing, yet pretty light weight for easy assemble and to move around. Keeping it beside my desk to separate lounging and work area, and I could move it easily if I want a conference-call backdrop. I can tell some difference in the sound absorption, as my all-in-one space (kitchen, dining, work, living) area can sound loud at times, it does provide some damping effect. But I must say for the price I was expecting more. More solidity and weight. More privacy. It's just not very big for the price paid. A good price for two panels but this was just a single.

High quality divider, but at a high cost
Color: Nocturne
So if you've ever been into an office setting you've likely encountered some variety of this divider. There's a bunch of good things about this product. -It's a nice size -There are great color options, went with Nocturne and no regrets with that -It's sturdy with a good base -Offers a bit of sound deadening The biggest drawback of this product is the cost. It's pricey for ONE divider. I'm sure it would make a great set, although for me it would fiscally irresponsible.

I stay on your foot they don’t slip in your shoe
Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium
This is the only socks I wear Under Armour because they stay in place I wear a size 8, but they’re more comfortable with a large instead of a medium, but I wear both because I have them already and you can pull them to stretch them out a little bit
