Two-Fisted Tales is an anthology war comic published bi-monthly by EC Comics in the early 1950s. The title originated in 1950 when Harvey Kurtzman suggested to William Gaines that they publish an adventure comic. Kurtzman became the editor of Two-Fisted Tales, and with the dawn of the Korean War, he soon narrowed the focus to war stories. The title was a companion comic to Frontline Combat, and stories Kurtzman wrote for both books often displayed an anti-war attitude. It returned to adventure-themed stories in issues #36 through #39, co-edited by John Severin and Colin Dawkins, with a cover-title change to The New Two-Fisted Tales.

dbo:abstract
  • Two-Fisted Tales est un comic book américain créé par Harvey Kurtzman et publié par EC Comics. Il fait suite à The Haunt of Fear et pour cela commence au numéro 18. Chaque numéro de ce bimestriel comporte quatre histoires. À l'origine, il s'agit de récits d'aventures mais le début de la guerre de Corée amène Harvey Kurtzman a écrire uniquement des récits guerriers. La fin de la guerre est probablement l'une des causes de la chute des ventes. À partir du numéro 36 John Severin devient rédacteur en chef du comic book (bien que Kurtzman soit toujours crédité) et Two-Fisted Tales est de nouveau un comics d'aventures. Il cesse de paraître au numéro 41. (fr)

The bimonthly title ran 24 issues, numbered 18–41, from 1950 to 1955. In 1952, EC published Two-Fisted Annual which had no new stories but instead bound together past issues of Two-Fisted Tales with a new cover by Kurtzman. The same procedure was repeated in 1953 for an annual with a new Jack Davis cover. Years after its demise, Two-Fisted Tales was reprinted in its entirety and was adapted to television. (en)
