Cochran, like Geppi, was a particular fan of Carl Barks' Disney comics, and had previously-published EC reprints in association with Disney-reprinter Gladstone Publishing. In the early 1990s, Geppi's Gemstone embarked on a full series of reprints of classic EC titles, starting with new reprints of the Cochran/Gladstone-reprints of "The Haunt of Fear", "The Vault of Horror" and "Weird Science" (all 1992). Gemstone also republished (in single issue and 'annual' — four issues per 'annual' — format) EC's "New Trend" and "New Direction" titles (with the exception of "Mad") between 1992 and 2000.
