Foul Play and Other Stories

The ultimate collection of Jack Davis EC stories!

Publisher Marketing: Influenced by Rembrandt, Daumier, and political cartoonist Bill Maudlin, Davis is among the finest popular artists of the 20th century.-- "New York Sun" Brief Description : "When Jack Davis took up his pen for EC Comics, he imbued his stories with a playful sense of (gallows) humor that made his innocent victims more eye-poppingly terrified, his ax-murders more gleefully gruesome, and his revenge-seeking corpses more morbidly motivated than any other EC artist"-- Review Quotes : There's just something about Jack Davis's stuff that blows me away. ... Even when he's drawing a gross-out, he just makes me laugh.--George A. Romero Review Quotes : I found myself both creeped-out and called-in by the grisly and gripping tales, as well as by Davis's stunning visuals. A must-have for Jack Davis and EC Comics fans.-- "Cinema Sentries" Review Quotes : My all time favorite EC Comic Book artist. I can gush over Jack Davis' art all-day, every day. I absolutely love it and I love it in every single genre.-- "Taylor Talks Comics" Publisher Marketing : When Jack Davis took up his pen for EC Comics, he imbued his stories with a playful sense of (gallows) humor that made his innocent victims more eye-poppingly terrified, his ax-murders more gleefully gruesome, and his revenge-seeking corpses more morbidly motivated than any other EC artist. These horror and suspense tales -- from the pages of Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories , and Shock SuspenStories -- include frightful fare such as "Hyde and Go Shriek!", "Tombs-Day!", "Witch Witch's Witch!", "Head-Room!", "Chop Talk!", "Coffin Spell!", and more, all leavened with the cackling, pun-laced wit of scripter Al Feldstein and illuminated as only the virtuoso brushwork of Jack Davis could present them.
