When Jack Davis took up his pen for EC Comics, he made his innocent
victims more eye-poppingly terrified, his ax-murderers more gleefully
gruesome, and his vampires and werewolves more bloodthirsty and feral
than any other artist. These horror and suspense tales -- from the pages
of Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, and Shock
SuspenStories -- offer everything a horror fan could ask for:
re-animated bodies and body parts, a ghoul who stores bodies like a
squirrel stores nuts, a vampire who moonlights at (where else?) a blood
bank, greedy business partners, corrupt politicians, jealous lovers,
revenge from beyond the grave, and a healthy complement of vampires,
werewolves, and assorted grotesqueries. All leavened with the cackling,
pun-laced humor of scripter Al Feldstein and illuminated as only the
virtuoso brushwork of Jack Davis can present them.
