Wallace Wood applied his preternaturally lush brushwork to over
two dozen stories in the thematically overlapping ( dreadful things
happen to people, both innocent and guilty ) horror, crime, and
suspense genres. This work is the subject of one of the two
premiere releases in Fantagraphics highly-anticipated new EC
reprint line.
Taking its title from one of Wood s all-time classics, the evil
little paranoid thriller Came the Dawn, this collection features
page after page after page of Wood s sleek and meticulously crafted
artwork put in the service of cunning twist-ending stories, most
often from the typewriter of EC editor Al Feldstein.
These tales range from supernatural shockers from the pages of
Tales From the Crypt and The Haunt of Fear ( The Living Corpse,
Terror Ride, Man From the Grave, Horror in the Freak Tent ) to
often pointedly contemporary crime thrillers from Crime
SuspenStories ( The Assault, The Whipping, and Confession, which
was singled out for specific excoriation in the anti-comics screed
Seduction of the Innocent, thus giving it a special cachet), but
the breathtaking art and whiplash-inducing shock endings are
constants throughout.
Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC line, Came the Dawn will
feature extensive essays and notes on these classic stories by EC
experts but the real meat of the matter (sometimes literally, in
the grislier stories) will be supplied by these ofted lurid,
sometimes downright over-the-top, but always compelling and
superbly crafted, classic comic-book masterpieces."
Graham Ingels' loving depictions of the endless corruption of flesh
and nature made him the go-to guy for stories involving swamps,
maniacs and dismemberment. This collection features 25 classic
stories.
