Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. With his wholesome approach, Jack Kamen stood out amongst the grandguignol grunge, gritty realism, or futuristic dazzle of his fellow EC cartoonists - but his brilliant editor/writer Al Feldstein found a way to exploit the surface innocence of his style with seemingly nice stories of romance gone horribly wrong, or future fantasies with an unexpectedly brutal twist. And nowhere did Kamen's clean-but-lush graphics work better than in the stories he created for EC's science-fiction comics. The title story, "Zero Hour" (one of three in this book adapted from works by Ray Bradbury), set in a Spielbergian suburban idyll, is particularly well served by Kamen's surface innocence; "A Lesson in Anatomy" works similar magic, with its Mayberry-esque setting veering into alien-invasion terror. If there was any devil in Kamen, it came out in his loving depiction of the female face and form, and you could see why his hapless heroes were often fatally entranced with them - as in "Punishment Without Crime" (Bradbury again), "He Who Waits!" (a scientist finds an extreme way of rejoining his eight-inch-tall inamorata), and "Miscalculation!" (the lucky recipient of a package from the future literally brews his own harem); even the supercomputer in "Only Human!" proves vulnerable to a beautiful woman's charms. Zero Hour And Other Stories contains 22 classic EC yarns - plus the usual all-new biographical, historical, and critical essays that have made Fantagraphics' EC Library series the ultimate version of these classics. Jack Kamen stood out amongst the other artists at EC Comics due to his clean, clutter-free style. Yet the content of his stories was never less than engagingly odd, and this collection brings together his finest moments.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. 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 self same 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 or Machine?"-will be collected in their integrity in this volume, which will also boast a new interview with Feldstein about his years at EC, focusing in particular in his work on these science fiction titles that were the company's pride and joy (and were killed a few years later by the Comics Code). Feldstein is best known as the main writer/editor of the EC comics line during the first half of the 1950s - this volume collects Feldstein's contributions to EC's two sci-fi titles, Weird Science and Weird Fantasy - comprising 16 classic shock-ending stories. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Even 60 years after their original release, in an era of explicit horror, EC Comics superstar Graham "Ghastly" Ingels's grisly pages retain the power to shock. His loving depictions of the endless corruption of flesh and nature made him the go-to guy for stories involving swamps, maniacs, and dismemberment - and all three combined to best effect in one of the standouts of this collection of his stories: "Horror We? How's Bayou?" - considered the single most spectacularly drawn of all of EC's horror stories, with a climax that would give body-horror king David Cronenberg nightmares. Ingels specialized in depicting the unimaginable. If you ever wondered what the vengeful, decaying corpse of an elephant stomping a woman to death would look like, it's in here ("Squash.Anyone?"). Or living rats sewn into the bodies of a tyrannical king and queen ("A Grim Fairy Tale"). or the results of injecting a "poison-pen" letter writer with literal poison and reducing him to, in the words of Al Feldstein's script, a "foul-smelling, oozing pool of putrescence" ("Notes to You!"). One of the two Ray Bradbury adaptations in the book, "There Was an Old Woman" (about a deceased crone who simply refuses to stay dead) provides the closest thing to a note of sweetness that you'll find here - perhaps with the exception of the genuinely romantic "A Little Stranger!" and its loving marriage between a dead vampire and a dead werewolf. Sucker Bait And Other Stories features 25 classic stories from Tales From the Crypt, Shock Suspen-Stories, Vault of Horror, and Ingels and his "Old Witch" character's special showcase Haunt of Fear - plus the usual fascinating historical, critical, and biographical material. Ingels' loving depictions of the endless corruption of flesh and nature made him the go-to guy for stories involving swamps, maniacs and dismemberment. Sucker Bait features 25 classic Ingel stories from Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror and others.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Horror and crime shockers from the EC vaults, illustrated by a comics grandmaster. Wallace Wood applied his preternaturally lush brushwork to over two dozen stories in the thematically overlapping ("dreadful things happen to people, both innocent and guilty") horror, crime, and suspense genres. This work is the subject of one of the two premiere releases in Fantagraphics' highly-anticipated new EC reprint line. Taking its title from one of Wood's all-time classics, the evil little paranoid thriller "Came the Dawn," this collection features page after page after page of Wood's sleek and meticulously crafted artwork put in the service of cunning twist-ending stories, most often from the typewriter of EC editor Al Feldstein. These tales range from supernatural shockers from the pages of Tales From the Crypt and The Haunt of Fear ("The Living Corpse," "Terror Ride," "Man From the Grave," "Horror in the Freak Tent") to often pointedly contemporary crime thrillers from Crime SuspenStories ("The Assault," "The Whipping," and "Confession," which was singled out for specific excoriation in the anti-comics screed Seduction of the Innocent, thus giving it a special cachet), but the breathtaking art and whiplash-inducing shock endings are constants throughout. Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC line, "Came the Dawn!" will feature extensive essays and notes on these classic stories by EC experts but the real "meat" of the matter (sometimes literally, in the grislier stories) will be supplied by these often lurid, sometimes downright over-the-top, but always compelling and superbly crafted, classic comic-book masterpieces. Horror and crime shockers from the EC vaults. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
