The Complete Valor/MD/Impact

Along with the Complete Piracy/Aces High/Psychoanalysis/Extra! box set, these titles comprised the remainder of the “New Direction” line that EC Comics introduced to replace their long-running and highly successful crime and horror lines when Dr. Wertham and his book Seduction of the Innocent got EC in trouble and started the accusations against them of contributing to juvenile delinquency. Unfortunately, these new titles were not a success and were all quietly canceled after 5 issues (4 for MD). EC then continued on with the highly successful Mad magazine, which continues to this day.
