Our latest collection of influential EC comics features “Ghastly” Graham Ingels’s horror art.
Even in an era of explicit horror films, “Ghastly” Graham Ingels still
delivers a shock to readers with his grisly depictions of the
stomach-churning fates of the evil men (and women) in these
stories—leavened only by a sly wink to the reader and a generous dose of
dreadful puns. Ingels’s brushwork oozes ominously across every panel,
perfectly setting the mood for the shudder-inducing fates of such
corrupt characters as the sadistic asylum director, the political
candidate who murders his opponent, the ventriloquist with the homicidal
“dummy,” the millionaire who persecutes an aged junkman, and the
medieval duke who runs over a young boy with his carriage then taxes the
peasants to pay for cleaning up his victim’s blood. Like every book in
the Fantagraphics EC line, Grave Business 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. Black & white

Walt Disney's Donald Duck: "The Pixilated Parrot" (Vol. 6) (The Carl Barks Library)
Out May 15, 2015
In this collection of short comics by the world-renowned Carl Barks, Donald, Uncle Scrooge, and the nephews go on a wild parrot chase, among other adventures.
Carl Barks delivers another superb collection of clever plot twists, laugh-out-loud comedy, and all-around cartooning brilliance. Donald gives Uncle Scrooge a parrot for his birthday but the feathered troublemaker escapes with the combination to Scrooge’s safe holding “ninety tons of money.” Hijinks ensue as Donald and his nephews set off on an unexpected adventure to recover the lovesick bird. Then, Donald and the boys are shanghaied by a mysterious stranger, who whisks them off to face perils in the desert in “Ancient Persia,” where they uncover a lost city—and its reconstituted inhabitants! And Barks cuts loose from his regular panel designs to deliver one of his finest stories, “Vacation Time” (it has its own Wikipedia page), as Donald displays unusual depths of courage and heroism when he has to rescue Huey, Dewey, and Louie on a wilderness outing gone wrong. Full color illustrations throughout
