Well the only EC comic that I've known of as a kid is Tales from the Crypt, and even as a child I remember the images being somewhat disturbing for the time. But after looking at a few others such as Weird Science, Two-Fisted Tales, Crime/Shock SuspenStories and Frontline Combat, I've noticed that they all look the same.  They all have the same old American comic book look and line style to them and the same color pallet, along with the more strange and disturbing imagery.  So I would also think that these comics were for young adults to older adults based on the imagery and themes discussed in the text. I don't think that they are completely for adults due that they still seem censored a little, these aren't comics that  I would give to a ten-year-old, but maybe to a teenager who is around sixteen.  I think that it was also because of the disturbing and graphic images as to why I was attracted to the comics in the first place, and because I was about twelve or thirteen and still somewhat sheltered when I first discovered Tales from the Crypt these images were new to me and somewhat horrifying and I wanted to know what it was about.
