This volume collects short horror comics stories from Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, and Impact — including a rare EC gem that hasn't been seen since its original publication more than 65 years ago!
These stories, which "Ghastly" Graham Ingels drew while he was at the pinnacle of his powers, include tales such as "Accidents and Old Lace." Three sweet, little old ladies weave tapestries depicting the gruesome deaths of real people, but when an art dealer commits murder to get a tapestry of his own, he discovers just how closely art imitates … death. In "Marriage Vow," a woman returns from the grave to fulfill her wifely duty to her murderous husband, until death does them … together; and in "The Sliceman Cometh," an executioner during the French Revolution can't escape the severed head of an innocent man.
Accidents And Old Lace And Other Stories is part of the The EC Artists' Library series.
Praise
"EC elevated the comics art form by making whimsically gruesome tales feel connected to the real world, and much of that was accomplished by Ingels ..." — Chicago Tribune
