Title: Horror comics done right
Product review: Although folks talk of EC's horror comics as if they were the big players of the 1950s, solely responsible for the calls to regulate comics, there were in fact dozens of horror titles, many of which featured only gore and shock. EC's comics certainly were not bloodless, but EC made its mark with good writing and twist endings--and great art by the likes of Jack Davis and Graham Ingels and Johnny Craig to name but three. As a result, the stories stand up very well over 60 years later and the art is still wonderful to look at. This is a great format for owning the comics. The books are very sturdy, so you can re-read the stories to your heart's content. And they are oversized and use heavy paper stock so you appreciate the art in a way readers of the 1950s could not.
