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.

1st printing.

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.

By Waite Urban.

Based on the Ubisoft video game! Hope County, Montana. Land of the free and the brave, but also home to a fanatical doomsday cult known as The Church of Eden's Gate that has slowly been infiltrating the residents' daily lives in the past years. Mary May Fairgrave, a local barkeep, has lost almost everything to the Church: her parents died in suspicious conditions and her brother, entranced by the cult leader's charismatic words, has vanished. When the authorities refuse to investigate further, she decides to take matters in to her own hands. Local hunter William Boyd was saved by Eden's Gate years ago, during the darkest moments of his life. When his duties lead him to cross paths with Mary May, the daughter of one of his old friends, he soon discovers that what is happening in the county is far from what he believed. Up against an omniscient and dangerous adversary, Mary May stands little chance. But the unexpected intervention of William Boyd will change her journey - as well as his.

Art and Introduction by Ferdinando Tacconi.

Originally published in War Picture Library (1958-1984 IPC/Fleetway) UK #49 and Air Ace Picture Library (1960-1970 Fleetway) #11, 37 and 54, these four stories showcase the art of the great Ferdinando Tacconi.

His style is immediately recognizable, with a very clear line work and some interesting curly cues done in pen and ink.

He wisely used an uncluttered art that, with the passage of time, became more and more limited to the essential. The care he applied to the environment and details of each panel he drew, especially in his way of presenting vehicles or his beloved aircraft, made him one of the top artists around the world. In fact, Tacconi would never hide his deep love for flying machines, which accompanied him throughout his career, both inside and outside the comic pages he drew.

All four of the stories in this collection were drawn by the great Ruggero Giovannini and were originally published in Thriller Picture Library. Today, Giovannini is mainly remembered in England for the many western, adventure and historical comic strips he drew in a realistic style, packed with plenty of action on each page. His style, inspired by Milton Caniff and Will "Red Barry" Gould, has a way of telling a story which is fast-paced, occasionally using heavy shadows, and accompanied with his quickly rendered, yet effective, inking.
