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
