Panic was published by E.C. comics, who also published a similar and better-known satire comic called Mad Comics , which eventually became Mad Magazine . Like most E.C. comics of the day, Panic featured four stories by comic art heavyweights like Bill elder, Jack Davis, and the great Wally Wood. Panic is one of a handful of titles that E.C. published after the Comics Code Authority (C.C.A.) was established, usually designated as their short-lived "New Direction" titles. The C.C.A. effectively did away with the more popular E.C. books like Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror. This issue features a spoof of Mary Worth entitled "Mary Worthless" by Bill Elder as well as Wally Wood's spoof "20,000 Leaks Under the Sea." The cover satire of a box of Wheaties predates Wacky Packages by more than a decade! Panic issue No.11 - November 1955.

Much like its companion Mad - which of course survived as a magazine - Panic was a satire comic published by E.C. Comics and even boasted the similar slogan, "humor in a varicose vein." This November 1954 issue spoofed the movie "How To Marry a Millionaire" starring Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall. As if that wasn't enough, it sports a very unusual cover by Al Feldstein featuring a horizontal layout!
