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 could present them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the standout story has to be “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 that 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!”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack-and-white illustrations throughout\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glorp Gum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46236677767335,"sku":"9781683969549","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/0926\/files\/9781683969549.jpg?v=1730567720","url":"https:\/\/oddmart.com\/products\/foul-play-and-other-stories-the-fantagraphics-ec-comics-artists-library","provider":"Odd Mart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
