Wood's 2nd EC cover
Gaines File CopyThe amazing talents of Wally Wood, Al Feldstein, Jack Davis, Bill Gaines, Howard Larsen, George Roussos, and Graham Ingels are on full display in this classic collaboration by some of the greats that helped make EC a legend in comics history. The standout tale in this issue is “Voodoo” a story that features a down on his luck painter who undergoes a ritual that makes his paintings similar to voodoo dolls, and with his power he exacts revenge on his enemies, only to be undone by a jar of turpentine. The other three sinister yarns in this issue follow the EC formula as well, providing shocks for readers of the era, which have not lost any of their potency today. It is no wonder that EC fans are some of the most loyal around.
