1st printing.
Art and cover by Jack Kamen.
Sci-fi classics from an EC Comics great!
In Jack Kamen's first stories for Weird Science and Weird Fantasy, he and writer Al Feldstein explore the unexpected twists and turns that arise from the unintended consequences of new inventions such as matter transmitters, molecular duplicators, shrinking rays, time machines, and too-perfect robots.
Well-known for his sure hand and slick line and his chic depictions of 1950s-style glamour, Kamen delights in bringing Feldstein's wicked scripts to graphic life-but there's surprisingly sharp social and political commentary as well, with stories that foreshadow the threat of climate change and the perils of artificial intelligence.
From the creation of a miniature civilization to femmes fatale from the future to the precise prediction of the sun going nova, you'll find this collection of sci-fi shockers to be some weird science, indeed!

Written by Al Feldstein. Art and cover by Graham Ingles.
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.

1st printing.
Written by Harvey Kurtzman, Jerry De Fuccio, Carl Wessler, Wallace Wood, and Archie Goodwin. Art and cover by Wally Wood.
When Wallace Wood teamed up with Harvey Kurtzman, the result was some of the best war stories ever put to paper. Wood and Kurtzman delivered deeply human tales from the Civil War to World War I to World War II to Korea. Wood and Kurtzman depicted the madness and horror of war, including the controversial title story which depicted the bombing of Nagasaki from the viewpoint of the victims on the ground.
Atom Bomb and Other Stories collects all the combat tales Wood and Kurtzman did together for EC's Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, plus other war stories Wood did for EC writer/editor Al Feldstein as well.

1st printing. By Al Feldstein. 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 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). Hardcover, 160 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

Written by William M. Gaines, Otto Binder, Al Feldstein, Carl Wessler, and Ray Bradbury. Art by George Evans and Jack Kamen. Cover by George Evans. Introduction by Thommy Burns.
This volume collects all of George Evans' EC horror.
It features "Blind Alleys," one of the most chilling and famous EC stories (adapted for the 1972 movie Tales From the Crypt). A man who abused residents of a home for the blind winds up in an impossibly narrow corridor lined with razor blades as a ravenous dog closes in. "In Gorilla My Dreams," an innocent man's brain is transplanted into a gorilla ... who is then blamed for the death of his former self and hunted down. And in our titular tale, "A Slight Case of Murder," four pretty young women are each gruesomely murdered inside locked rooms with no way for the killer to get in or out. But one man thinks he knows who's behind it.
In addition, A Slight Case of Murder and Other Stories also includes Evans's unforgettable adaptation of the Ray Bradbury story "The Small Assassin!" This book superbly showcases these classic comic book stories and enhances the reader's experience with commentary and historical and biographical detail by EC experts.

Story and Art by Harvey Kurtzman.
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.

1st printing. Written by Otto Binder, Al Feldstein, Gardner Fox, Jack Oleck, and Carl Wessler. Art by Jack Kamen, Will Elder, John Alton, Frank Bolle, Leonard Starr, Bill Fraccio, and Rudy Palais. Cover by Jack Kamen. Introduction by Thommy Burns. Twenty-seven horror stories by master comics artist Jack Kamen - including all 13 of his classic "Grim Fairy Tales." Jack Kamen's stories for The Vault of Horror, Tales From the Crypt, and The Haunt of Fear favored unnerving creepiness over gruesome shock. With his penchant for deft delineations of scheming women, jealous husbands, murderous love triangles, and not-so-innocent children, Kamen's pen laid down a precise, sure line that brought each story's shock ending into sharp relief. This volume features 27 Kamen favorites, drawn at the peak of his powers, including: "Kamen's Kalamity," featuring the "true" origin story of the artist himself! "How Green Was My Alley," the cautionary tale of a traveling salesman who spends every other week at home with his wife. And every other other week at his other home with his other wife! Then, Kamen switches from horror to horror-humor for all 13 of his classic "Grim Fairy Tales," revealing the gruesome underpinnings of the Grim classics. You'll never look at Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, or Little Red RidingHood and their friends quite the same way again!Plus: seven bonus crime and horror stories by EC short-termers John Alton, Frank Bolle, Leonard Starr, Bill Fraccio, Rudy Palais, and Ed Smalle. I Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC Artists' Library, Kamen's Kalamity And Other Stories also features essays and notes by EC experts on these superbly crafted, classic masterpieces.

Written by Al Feldstein, Otto Binder, Johnny Craig, Carl Wessler, and Guy de Maupassant. Art and cover by Graham Ingels.
This volume collects short horror comics stories from Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, and Impact - including a rare EC gem that hasn't been seen since its original publication more than 65 years ago!
These stories, which "Ghastly" Graham Ingels drew while he was at the pinnacle of his powers, include tales such as "Accidents and Old Lace." Three sweet, little old ladies weave tapestries depicting the gruesome deaths of real people, but when an art dealer commits murder to get a tapestry of his own, he discovers just how closely art imitates ... death. In "Marriage Vow," a woman returns from the grave to fulfill her wifely duty to her murderous husband, until death does them ... together; and in "The Sliceman Cometh," an executioner during the French Revolution can't escape the severed head of an innocent man.

1st printing. By Johnny Craig. 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 run of Craig's Crime SuspenStories tales in one criminally convenient package, supplemented with several fascinating essays and informative historical notes on the stories. Hardcover, 160 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

1st printing. Written by Otto Binder, Ray Bradbury, Johnny Craig, Jack Davis, Al Feldstein, Jack Oleck, and Carl Wessler. Art and cover by Jack Davis. Appreciation by Grant Geissman. Introduction by Thommy Burns. The ultimate collection of Jack Davis EC stories! When Jack Davis took up his pen for EC Comics, he imbued his stories with a playful sense of (gallows) humor that made his innocent victims more eye-poppingly terrified, his ax-murders more gleefully gruesome, and his revenge-seeking corpses more morbidly motivated than any other EC artist. These horror and suspense tales - from the pages of Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, and Shock SuspenStories - include frightful fare such as "Hyde and Go Shriek!", "Tombs-Day!", "Witch Witch's Witch!", "Head-Room!", "Chop Talk!", "Coffin Spell!", and more, all leavened with the cackling, pun-laced wit of scripter Al Feldstein and illuminated as only the virtuoso brushwork of Jack Davis can present them. But the standout story is "Foul Play," the most infamous of all EC horror stories, in which a baseball team takes revenge on a murderous rival player by, um (spoiler alert), "repurposing" various parts of his anatomy for one final blood-spattered, organ-scattered inning. You'll never see a baseball game the same way again. And as gruesome as it sounds (and is!), Davis deftly pulls it off with aplomb and a mordant sense of absurd humor that will have you cringing and laughing at the same time. Plus, not one, not two, but three Davis-driven adaptations of haunting short stories by Ray Bradbury: "The Coffin!", "Let's Play Poison!", and "The Black Ferris!". We round out this volume with all three of Davis's EC science-fiction adventures, and all five of his aerial war stories from the legendary EC title, Aces High. 40 stories in all, most scripted by EC legend Al Feldstein, plus in-depth commentary by EC experts Thommy Burns and Grant Geissman. Hardcover, 6-in.x 9-in., 312 pages, B&W. Cover price $35.00.

1st printing.
Written by Johnny Craig, Al Feldstein, Dick Kraus, Gardner Fox, and Harry Harrison. Art by Johnny Craig, Howard Larsen, Sheldon Moldoff, Harry Harrison, and Jules Feiffer. Cover by Johnny Craig. Introduction by Max Allan Collins.
Johnny Craig's crisp, elegant, contemporary graphic style set a mood and a surprisingly sophisticated approach to these thirty-one EC crime and horror comics stories, which include his top murder mystery and his best terror tale. This volume of Craig's crime and horror work collects comics stories he wrote and drew for Vault of Horror, Shock SuspenStories, and Crime SuspenStories, as well as the complete collection of all his "Dateline" stories from Extra!.
In our title story, a reporter stranded in a Louisiana bayou seeks shelter in a seemingly abandoned mansion, only to discover and fall in love with a beautiful woman living there. He wants to be with her, and she wants to be with him; there's only one way that can happen. Also: Craig's murder masterpiece, "Understudies," in which two lovers conspire to remove their respective spouses, in a twisted twist recalling The Postman Always Rings Twice and Double Indemnity; and his signature horror story "...All Through the House" (twice adapted to film - for 1972's Tales From the Crypt movie and HBO's 1989 Tales From the Crypt pilot episode).
Plus, the debut of EC's enigmatic horror hostess, Drusilla, and a look at the work of EC artists Harry Harrison, Howard Larsen, Sheldon Moldoff (Moon Girl) as well. Thirty-one stories in all, with essays and commentary by EC experts.
