Taking its title from one of legendary comic artist Wally Wood’s
all-time classics, the evil little paranoid thriller “Came the
Dawn,” this collection features page after page after page of Wood’s
preternatural brushwork put in the service of cunning twist-ending stories, most
often from the typewriter of EC editor Al Feldstein. These tales range from
supernatural shockers from the pages of Tales From the Crypt and The Haunt of
Fear (“The Living Corpse,” “Terror Ride,” “Man
From the Grave,” “Horror in the Freak Tent”) to often
pointedly contemporary crime thrillers from Crime SuspenStories (“The
Assault,” “The Whipping”). The breathtaking art is constant
throughout.
Horror and crime shockers from the EC vaults, illustrated by a comics grandmaster.
