Foul Play: Art & Artists On EC Comics

Harper Collins
Foul Play: The Art & Artists Of EC Comics

A behind-the-scenes look at the fan-favorite artists who created Tales from the Crypt and other perennially-popular comics stories, complete with reprints of classic tales—including a never-before-published story, “Wanted for Murder!” originally intended for publication in 1956, but forgotten and unseen until now! Legendary publisher Bill Gaines is perhaps best remembered as the founder of MAD Magazine, but in the opinion of many dedicated comic book fans, his greatest achievement was E.C. Comics, a line of adventure, horror, and science-fiction comics whose influence on American graphic novels is undeniable, even today. Foul Play! is the perfect book for anyone wanting to understand the special place E.C. holds in the comic fan’s heart-or who just wants to read some real good comics! Foul Play! celebrates the fan-favorite creators of E.C. Comics, profiling their artists—a veritable who’s who of mid-20th century popular illustration—and describing how they came to work with Bill Gaines and how their careers evolved after E.C.. Among the comics art legends profiled are Al Feldstein; Harvey Kurtzman; Johnny Craig; Jack Davis; Graham Ingels; Jack Kamen; Wallace Wood; Joe Orlando; Will Elder; John Severin; George Evans; Al Williamson; Reed Crandall; Bernie Krigstein; and more!

When originally published, E.C. Comics titles like Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, and Weird Science became best-selling titles, embraced by readers for their macabre wit and stunning illustration. Eventually, E.C. Comics ran afoul of a full Senate Subcommittee investigating (but never proving!) the link between comic books and juvenile delinquency, but not before winning a legion of fans that still treasure E.C.’s output. Foul Play! demonstrates-in glorious, gory detail-exactly why these are among the most beloved comics stories ever published.
