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.
