Extra! was a short lived comic book published by EC Comics in 1955 as part of its "New Direction" line. The bi-monthly comic was published by Bill Gaines and edited by Johnny Craig. It lasted a total of five issues before being cancelled, along with EC's other New Direction comics.

Extra! was dedicated to stories about the adventures of various journalists. Interesting of note regarding this title is that outside of the Ghoulunatics in EC's 3 horror comics, it is the only EC comic to contain recurring characters: Keith Michaels, Steve Rampart and Geri Hamilton.

The contributors to this title include Craig, John Severin, and Reed Crandall. Craig was responsible for the art on the Keith Michaels stories. Severin handled the Steve Rampart stories while Crandall covered the Geri Hamilton ones. Craig was responsible for the art for all 5 covers.

Extra! was reprinted as part of Russ Cochran's Complete EC Library in 1988.
