Surrounded by the ornate, retro, proto-splatter horror graphics of
Jack Davis and Graham Ingels and the slick, futuristic sci-fi
stylings of Wally Wood and Al Williamson, EC Comics superstar
Johnny Craig stood out in the 1950s with his elegant, crisp,
contemporary graphic style. And nowhere did this style work more
beautifully than in the dozens of superb crime and horror comics he
wrote and drew for EC, mostly for the two comics he also edited,
Crime SuspenStories and The Vault of Horror. (Craig was the only EC
artist to habitually write his own material for the entire length
of EC's run.) Featuring murderous husbands and wives, executioners,
thieving surgeons, vengeful sword-swallowers, time bombs, private
dicks, vampires, werewolves, and ghouls, the 23 stories in this
book comprise a perfect encapsulation of the very best and darkest
kind of noir and horror writing, stunningly executed (in more than
one sense of the word) by one of the great cartoonists of his (or
any) era. And all in seven or eight pages per story Fall Guy For
Murder And Other Stories is once again, as are the other EC Comic
Library releases, supplemented with several fascinating essays and
informative historical notes on the stories.
