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 Riding Hood 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. Introduction by Thommy Burns. 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.
