The Comics Journal Library Vol. 8: The EC Artists is the first in a two-volume set of interviews with the artists and writers (and publisher!) who made EC great. There are career-spanning conversations with EC legends Will Elder, John Severin, Harvey Kurtzman, and Al Feldstein, as well as short interviews with EC short-timers Frank Frazetta and Joe Kubert. Also: EC Publisher William Gaines on his infamous Senate subcommittee testimony, and probing conversations between Silver Age cartoonist Gil Kane and Harvey Kurtzman, as well as contemporary alternative cartoonist Sam Henderson and Mad great Al Jaffee.

EC horror comics are famous for their gleefully ghoulish stories and their outrageous twist endings - served up with a sly wink to the reader and a generous dose of dreadful puns. No artist captured that mood better and made his readers shudder more than 'Ghastly' Graham Ingels. Ingels set the standard for fiendishly delightful depictions of dripping slime, dismembered limbs, and shambling corpses. This volume features Ingels's earliest EC crime and horror work, from the pages of such titles as Tales From the Crypt, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, and War Against Crime. Highlights in this volume include Ingels's very first EC story, two Ingels adaptations of stories by Edgar Allan Poe (including a clever twist on 'The Cask of Amontillado' that you won't see coming), and EC's first adaptation of a Ray Bradbury story. As with every book in the Fantagraphics EC line, Doctor Of Horror And Other Stories superbly showcases these classic comic book masterpieces and enhances the reader's experience with commentary and historical and biographical detail from EC experts.

Fantagraphics' popular EC Library series continues with the science fiction work of Jack Kamen. On the surface, Kamen's style may seem wholesome but dark surprises and twists lurk just below the surface. Contains 22 classic EC yarns along with the usual all-new biographical, historical, and critical essays that have made Fantagraphics' EC Library series the ultimate version of these classics.

MAD would have been enough to cement Harvey Kurtzman's reputation as one of the titans of American comics, but he also created two other landmarks: the scrupulously-researched and superbly-crafted war comics Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat. Like every book in the new Fantagraphics EC line, 'Corpse on the Imjin!' will feature extensive essays and notes by EC experts - but Kurtzman's stories, as vital, powerful, and affecting and as when they were created 60 years ago, make this a must-have.

Death Stand And Other Stories collects all the combat tales Davis and Kurtzman did together for EC's Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, and even includes Davis's adaptation of an excerpt from James Fenimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans. More than 30 stories illustrated by Jack Davis, most scripted by EC legend Harvey Kurtzman, plus extensive story notes and bonus features.

(W) Ray Bradbury, Al Feldstein (A) Joe Orlando This special collection features more than 30 EC classics from the pages of Tales From the Crypt, The Haunt of Fear, The Vault of Horror, Shock SuspenStories, Impact, and Crime SuspenStories. Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC Artists' Library, The Thing From the Grave And Other Stories also features essays and notes by EC experts on these superbly crafted, classic American comics.

(W) Jack Kamen, Ray Bradbury (A) Al Feldstein Famed for his deft delineations of beautiful, scheming women, handsome jealous husbands, and not-so-innocent children, Jack Kamen returns with a collection of over 20 classic EC horror tales from The Vault of Horror, Tales From the Crypt, and The Haunt of Fear. Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC Artists' Library, Daddy Lost His Head and Other Stories also features essays and notes by EC experts on these superbly crafted, classic masterpieces.

(W) Jack Kamen, Ray Bradbury (A) Al Feldstein This volume of the New York Times' bestselling series includes the infamous 'The Orphan' - one of the stories that got EC Comics into hot water during the U.S. Senate's investigation into comic books. Also included are 'The October Game,' 'Frozen Assets!' and 'Standing Room Only' along with the title story, all pains-takingly restored. Like every book in The Fantagraphics EC Artists' Library, this volume also features essays and notes by EC experts on these classic masterpieces.

(W) Bill Gaines & Various (A) Will Elder, John Severin (CA) Will Elder This collection includes all 15 of Elder's Panic stories (EC's in-house attempt to duplicate MAD) plus seven of his science fiction tales and more. This volume also includes a special Elder horror story that hasn't been since its original publication more than 60 years ago.

SCIENCE FICTION COMICS FROM THE GLORY DAYS OF CLASSIC COMIC BOOKS Al Feldstein is best known as the main writer/editor of the EC comics line during the first half of the 1950s-and then the editor of Mad Magazine for the first three decades of its existence. But what many don't know or remember is that Feldstein was also an accomplished and distinctive cartoonist, whose comics (which he both wrote and drew, a relative rarity in those days) adorned the pages of many of those selfsame EC comics. His powerfully composed, meticulously inked pages, often featuring grotesque creatures or scenes of ghastly destruction (and some of the greatest stiffly handsome/beautiful specimens of 1950s humanity ever put to paper), were a vital part of the allure of these classic comics. Feldstein's contributions to the first year and a half of EC's two SF titles, Weird Science and Weird Fantasy-comprising 16 classic O. Henry-style shock-ending stories with such evocative, vintage title as ''Things' From Outer Space.' 'The Flying Saucer Invasion,' 'Spawn of Venus,' 'Destruction of the Earth,' and 'Am I Man

(W) Al Feldstein & Various (A/CA) Reed Crandall Twenty-two crime, horror, and science fiction stories by master comics artist Reed Crandall. Plus: eight crime and horror stories by fellow EC artist George Roussos. Reed Crandall was an undisputed Master of fine line detail and expertly nuanced pen-and-ink texture. He was a perfect fit for EC Comics, and he brilliantly illuminated sharp scripts featuring schemes, tricks, betrayal, and retribution in the company's crime, horror, and science fiction titles. This volume features 22 Crandall favorites from the pages of Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, Shock SuspenStories, Weird Science-Fantasy, Extra, and Impact, including: 'Dog Food,' one of EC's best revenge stories, featuring a sadistic prison camp warden who abuses his dogs to keep them mean - to terrorize his prisoners. And no, it's not the twist ending you might expect - which is why it was voted by fans as one of the top three EC horror stories. 'The Shadow Knows' in which a man who murders his wife is pursued by her shadow everywhere he t

(W) William M Gaines & Various (A/CA) Reed Crandall This collection of 21 Reed Crandall favorites includes sci-fi ("The Silent Towns", "Space Suitors"), horror ("Carrion Death", "Sweetie-Pie"), crime ("The Kidnapper") and psychological terror ("The High Cost of Dying") in which a man must make the choice between burying his wife and feeding his children. Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC Artists' Library, this latest volume also features essays and notes by EC experts on these superbly crafted, classic masterpieces.

JOHNNY CRAIG RAISES CAIN IN A COLLECTION OF PITILESSLY NOIR THRILLERS Surrounded by the ornate, retro, proto-splatter horror graphics of Jack Davis and Graham Ingels and the slick, futuristic sci-fi stylings of Wally Wood and Al Williamson, EC Comics superstar Johnny Craig stood out with his elegant, crisp, contemporary graphic style. And nowhere did this style work more beautifully than in the dozens of superb crime comics he wrote and drew for EC, mostly in Crime SuspenStories (for which he handled the cover and lead-story duties for most of its run). Featuring escaped convicts, murderous husbands and wives, blackmailing maids, scheming nurses, executioners, time bombs, private dicks, and the occasional hatchet killer, the 22 stories in this book-all written and drawn by Craig-comprise a perfect encapsulation of the very best kind of noir writing, stunningly executed (in more than one sense of the word!) by one of the great cartoonists of his (or any) era. And all in eight pages per story! Fall Guy For Murder and Other Stories is the first collection to showcase the chronological r

(W) Al Feldstein, William M Gaines (A/CA) Graham Ingles Even in this era of explicit horror films, "Ghastly" Graham Ingels still delivers a shock to readers with his grisly depictions of the fates of evil doers. Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC line, Grave Business And Other Stories superbly showcases these classic comic book masterpieces and enhances the reader's experience with commentary and historical and biographical detail from EC experts.

Even sixty years after their original release, EC Comics superstar Graham 'Ghastly' Ingels's grisly pages retain the power to shock. Sucker Bait And Other Stories features 25 classic stories from Tales From the Crypt, Shock SuspenStories, Vault of Horror, and Ingels signature 'Old Witch' character's special showcase Haunt of Fear- plus the usual fascinating historical, critical, and biographical material.

The second and concluding volume of conversations with the creators behind EC Comics combines definitive interviews with never-before-published sessions, including a new conversation with Jack Davis, Bill Gaines on the origins of the company, Al Feldstein on science fiction, Harvey Kurtzman on bringing realism to war, Alex Toth, Marie Severin, George Evans and Jack Kamen, Colin Dawkins, and a rare Q&A session with Bernard Krigstein.
