As this May 1949 issue of Sports World attests, the springtime speculations from the sportswriters of yesteryear regarding names like Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams was not unlike the perpetual dance of whether Brett Favre was to retire or not. Although DiMaggio's production indeed waned in '49 due to injuries, he rebounded with another solid year in 1950, in which he lead the league in slugging at .585, hit 32 homers and drove in 122 runs, while batting a solid .301. The Yanks bested the Phillies that year to win the World Series. Lucky for the Yankee faithful that a nineteen year old rookie named Mickey Mantle was being groomed to take DiMaggio's place in center field the following year..!

Because of the cheap printing methods, the poor quality paper, and their disposable nature, old pulp magazines are correspondingly more difficult to find in excellent condition - more so than paperbacks or comics for instance. Because of that fact, when you find a high-grade example, you may find yourself fawning over it. Popular Western - May 1940 issue.

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 opens with a spoof of Alley Oop entitled "Irving Oops" by Bill Elder and closes with Wally Wood's wonderfully-rendered "Gone With The Widow." Panic issue No. 8 - May 1955.
